10 IDEAS FOR MENS SUITS + WEDDING OUTFITS

Instagram and Pinterest are awash with wedding inspiration and ideas but when it comes to men's tailoring, there is a bit of a black hole. Beyond the red carpet there are very few places of inspiration to look to and it can be very costly. Here's our shortlist of places we recommend for cool contemporary tailoring, selling ready to wear, made to order and made to measure.  


THE SUIT

MR START 

If you’re looking for contemporary tailoring, Mr. Start is the place. Effortlessly cool cuts and chic fabrics; made to measure or ready to wear is available. We love their black velvet smoking jackets for the chicest of black tie weddings. mr-start.com 

 

CHARLEY CASLEY HAYFORD

The coolest tailoring for the modern man; CCH’s cuts have been worn by everyone from Drake to Michael Fassbender. Ready to wear, semi-bespoke and made to measure options are available, meaning that there is something for every budget. casely-hayford.com 

 


  


TOM FORD 

Chosen by a lot of big names for red carpets and weddings, a Tom Ford suit has very particular details. They are more fitted to the body, with a wider shoulder and a smaller waist. The result is a glove-like fit that works for every shape. Channel Jamie Hince on his wedding day and opt for the light blue. Available on mrporter.com 

 

 

YVES SAINT LAURENT

Purveyor of the original smoking jacket - aka the coolest tailored look ever - YSL suits are a little more expensive of the ready to wear options but in our opinion an investment you'll wear forever more. Does the red velvet smoking jacket come in women's sizing? 

 

 

NORTON & TOWNSEND

Amazing quality hand-finished bespoke tailoring at a great price, with two showrooms in Spitalfields and Yorkshire.  Personally recommended by Jess’ husband Alex who wore two N&T suits across the wedding weekend  nortonandtownsend.co.uk 

 

GIEVES AND HAWKES 

If you’ve ever thought Prince Charles looks particularly suave (ahem) it most likely will have something to do with his tailor, Gieves and Hawkes. The OG on Savile Row, the legendary tailor is over 200 years old. The made to measure lead-time is around 8 weeks too, perfect for last minute types. Gievesandhawkes.com 

 

RALPH LAUREN PURPLE COLLECTION

One of the more expensive options on the list, the Purple Label is home to the most premium of Ralph Lauren pieces. We love the fact it tends to be made in smaller runs. The flamboyance of the Tartan three piece and the Kent Velvet Dinner Jacket particularly caught our eye. Ralphlauren.co.uk 

 

 

 

THE SHIRTS 


TURNBULL AND ASSER 

Founded in 1885, a Turnbull & Asser shirt is made from 34 individual pieces of fine cloth and at least ten iridescent mother-of-pearl buttons per your preference. Oh and they also make James Bond’s shirts and ties. Turnbullandasser.co.uk 


BOGGI

Beautiful Italian made shirts, crafted using the highest quality organic fibres and recycled materials. Boggi.com 



THE SHOES


CROCKETT & JONES

C&J has been making shoes in their Northampton factory since 1879. We love their new Cocktail Collection crockettandjones.com
