Investing in a wedding suit is a big decision, typically centred on finding the perfect attire for your wedding day. But, it’s a shame to spend a lot on a well-tailored suit only to wear it once. To ensure your suit is a smart investment, consider selecting one that can be easily incorporated into your everyday wardrobe. This approach not only enhances value but also aligns with sustainable fashion practices. Here’s how to pick a wedding suit that will work for both your special day and beyond.
- Opt for Textured Materials The fabric choice for your wedding suit plays a pivotal role in its versatility. While worsted wool is elegant and traditional, it’s not as adaptable as separates due to its smooth texture. Instead, consider materials like linen, high-twist wool, hopsack, or flannel. These fabrics add character and allow for more versatile wear after the wedding.
- Choose a Relaxed Silhouette The construction of your suit can greatly impact how easily it transitions into other parts of your wardrobe. A soft silhouette with softer jacket construction and shoulders gives your suit a more relaxed feel, making it suitable for various occasions beyond the wedding day.
- Pick Versatile Fabrics When deciding on fabric colours and patterns, versatility is key. Consider colours like midnight blue, cream, light grey, or shades of green, which pair well with various shirt and trouser combinations and are timeless.
- Include a Waistcoat Adding a waistcoat to your two-piece suit enhances the classic wedding look and provides flexibility throughout the day. It ensures that even when the jacket is off, you maintain a polished appearance.
