Keith Nicholas from Nicholas Smith Men's Wedding Suit Hire, (shops in Worcester and Brierley Hill, West Midlands) is a man who knows what the Best Dressed Groom is wearing in 2016. He's been in the business of dressing the men in the wedding party for over 25 years.
Speaking with Keith yesterday, he shared a little wedding snippet that all grooms-to-be out there will want to know.... that blue, continues to be the most popular colour choice for the smart groom in 2016. Deep blue, medium blue, even grey blue - but definitely not sky blue.
All shades are popular with the iconic lounge suit style being a clear winner, rather than traditionally styled wedding suit hire wear.
Last seasons black wedding suit hire is much less popular, with white being a little too passe for most groom's tastes, and probably the brides as well. Same fabric tailored waistcoats, some collared some plain, matched with ties rather than cravats
Tweed waistcoats are still just as popular for a trendy personal statement for the men in the wedding party, featuring designs that complement the blue in the suit and tie.
Setting the groom apart from his team of loyal gentlemen, a groom is likely to choose a different waistcoat cut or design, maybe even a different fabric.
