The style over the last few years has been cut very narrow, becoming a high street look. At Marc Wallace we’ve introduced a classic width lapel on our ready to wear collection. With a tailored suit you can choose the width lapel you require. Narrow gives a stylish, fashionable look, mid gives a timeless look and wide lapels are seen as traditional.
Having made a comeback over the years and moving away from plain block colours to patterns and textured fabrics, pocket squares add a dash of colour to your suit. Fold into a neat line for a classic style or scrunch up and create a fuller hanky look.
When choosing your tailored or off the peg suit, it’s extremely important to look at your body proportion, this is what you should base your suit around.
The way we cut our suit shoulders is fitted to the body, for formal and wedding suits, a lot of customers like a wider shoulder for comfort.
This season keep an eye on vintage colouring and styling. Textured fabrics in earth colours are a key look this season. You can’t go wrong with classics colours such as grey, navy and black. ALWAYS make sure the cloth colour suits your skin tone.
Narrow belts look extra stylish. Why not do away with the belt loops all together on the trousers, keep it looking clean and simple!
With socks, some of our clients like to wear short socks in the summer and long in the winter. Others will have their groomsmen in a brightly coloured sock that may or may not fit within the wedding colour scheme? Lots of grooms are even giving up socks completely!
This is the most formal option available for grooms. An iconic design, morning suits feature a single breasted jacket with a large tail at the back to the mid-thigh or knee. Jackets are usually black or grey. Traditionally worn with a top hat, striped trousers and a waistcoat, this style is best for traditional church or formal civil ceremonies.
The classic tail coat has two long tails at the back and should be worn with braces, a white shirt, waistcoat and cravat. Less formal than the morning suit, this option is suitable for civil celebrations.
A popular choice for evening, formal and elegant weddings, black tie attire will perfectly match the high glamour of you in an Eliza Jane Howell or Jenny Packham dress. There are plenty of options available, including a variety of different lapels. Choose black or white and wear with a bow tie for a classic and timeless groom style.
