The wedding world spends so much time discussing which weddings dresses designs are all the rage and what’s hot and what’s not.
Which leaves us asking..........What about the groom?
Just when you thought we had forgot about you, we were inspired by this year’s Oscar red carpet. From Colin Firth to Matthew McConaughey the panguin suit is all the rage.
The classic black suit with the black bow tie is nothing short of what’s “in” this season, and that translates right back into fashionable groom’s wear for his wedding day.
With a strong nod to the return of elegant fashion menswear is taking a turn back to a mostly girlie word…..details.
We reached out to a lady that knows menswear a little too well Ms. Patricia Leupp of Mr. Formal. She says it’s these details that are creating the new trends for weddings this year.
From wide to a more narrow lapel and tighter fits on jackets, men are taking on their own style for their day. Even side vents are becoming more popular!
When it comes to accessories (yes, men have wedding day accessories too) you can create an even more versatile look. Pocket squares that are crisp or silky, creating a statement of flair or conservative. Silver or black studs, a wide collar suit or a large bow tie each creates it’s own statement.

According to Patricia another trend is requests from formal-attire-seeking men for flat front pants verses the traditional pleated tuxedo trouser.

There were a few A-list stars who said no to the traditional bow tie and yes to the more current long necktie. Another modern trend that is popping up amongst grooms.
One of the most apparent details of any man’s suit is the color! Brown is out and grey is IN!!! As we approach deeper into Spring Patricia’s clients are seeing more yellows, lighter shades of blue and some brighter greens, although deeper jewel tones such as purple and jade are perennials.

Just as the wedding dress and a bride’s accessories on her day are a highlight so should the groom’s suit. After all, the groom makes just about every photo too, so why not spend a little more time on his wear.
As Dean Martin once said, “In a tuxedo, I’m a star” a groom should feel the same way in his suit or tux on his wedding day.
