FIVE WEDDING COLOUR PALETTES, FIVE OUTFIT IDEAS

Words: C. Stewart

 

The date’s set, the theme’s set. Next up, sorting the suits. Here are our suggestions for an outfit that sets off your wedding’s colour palette.

Neutral shades of beige, light taupe and stone are best suited to airy fabrics like linen or a cotton blend. Wear your linen suit with a crisp white shirt and soft coloured accessories.

Who said a pastel theme only suits the bridesmaids? These days, we love a groom and his lineup in soft hues of pink, blue, purple or green. If the suit‘s too much for you, nod to the theme with a pastel shirt or accessories instead.

From sky to navy, blue is a solid colour choice for any time of year. It lends itself nicely to a pattern too, which we suggest working in through your shirt or accessories to keep things firmly in occasion territory.

Our best-selling sage tweed suit will work beautifully for botanical themes of green and white. Set the texture of this classic fabric off with a white shirt and cool-toned extras.

There’s nothing like black tie to make a wedding feel like a special occasion. Though you could introduce some colour, we suggest leaning into the look with a black velvet bow tie and sleek metal cufflinks.

HOW TO LAYER FOR SPRING

Words: T. MacInnis

 

“Not sure how to cope with the up-and-down temperatures? Layering is key.

“Layer a gilet over jersey for added warmth, or choose a linen set for maximum breathability. It’s all about pairing things that work to your temperature regulated when the weather can’t make up its mind.”

– Fred

 

Linen layers

A gilet makes sense for transitional weather, because it offers a medium amount of warmth thanks to the lack of sleeves. But, if you can’t bring yourself to wear a full-on nylon gilet, enter our brand-new linen version. The lightweight fabric offers up a perfect spring twist on a cold-weather staple. Layer your gilet over a knit hoodie, or even over a T-shirt for warmer days, and you’ll be both warm and seasonally appropriate. Also, the neutral oatmeal shade will go with everything in your wardrobe.

 

 

Two for one

Again, anything linen makes for an ideal spring layering piece. But, with this set, you get twice the options. Wear both pieces together over a knitted T-shirt or a jumper, wear the joggers with a warmer jacket, or wear the overshirt with a knitted polo and jeans. The options are endless, and because the linen is light and breathable (and the tone is neutral), you can layer this set over or under just about anything.

 

Hybrid dressing

Multi-functional pieces are exactly what you need for unpredictable weather. That’s why our chore overshirt can make spring dressing that much easier. It looks like a shirt, but its heavyweight cotton and structured silhouette give it a little more substance. You can wear it with shorts and a knitted T-shirt when temperatures rise, or joggers and a jumper to dress it down and warm it up. Thanks to the overshirt’s clean lines and neutral colour, feel free to wear it with brighter hues, or go tonal and wear all-over earthy shades.

 

 

Suit up

If you have an event or an interview in the spring, choosing the right suit can be a challenge, especially if you’re not sure about the weather or the dress code. This brown-and-ecru check suit is cut to a clean, slim fit, and crafted with a bit of stretch to keep you comfortable all day. Its neutral tones also mean it can be dressed up and down. That means you can layer it over a casual button down, an Oxford shirt, or even a knitted polo. Of course, you can also break it up and wear it as separates, using the jacket as a top layer over a lightweight jumper, or the using the trouser to dress up a jumper. The options are endless with this versatile suit.
