BN Weddings Trend Watch: Grooms in Something Blue! | In Collaboration with Morts and More
Happy Friday {again}. BellaNaija Weddings has a double treat for you. Sooo excited for our second article today! – the first was a bridal style feature on Edo Brides, and now learn how to rock the blue suit!
Many of our grooms have rocked this trend but it’s really peaked in popularity this year. Helping us with this dose of dapper and deliciousness, is Sena Dale Mortoo of UK bespoke label Morts and More.
When going for the blue suit there are a couple of things to think about.
Shades of Blue
Morts and More has found that the three favourites with grooms are Navy (the classics never go out of style), Royal, and Cerulean/Electric.
How To Stand Out
Do you want to rock it alone, with your best man only or with all your groomsmen? Our answer? Any way you like! Our BN Grooms have rocked it in different ways, all looking dapper and distinct. If you all wear blue – groom and groomsmen, you can choose a different colour of boutonniere (the lapel pin), different shade of blue suit, or a different colour of tie or pocket square to stand out. Scroll down to see it in different ways!
Tie or Bowtie?
Whether you opt for a tie or bow tie, make sure you infuse your wedding colours in some way! You can keep it classic in a bow tie, but give it a contemporary edge by making it a patterned or bright colour like an ankara bowtie on BN Groom Nathan (1st pic!)
Accessories
Another nice touch? The socks! Going for a bright colour and/or a bright pattern is so contemporary and fun. They peek out when you’re dancing! So cool.
How about the colour of your shoes? We’ve noticed a popular choice is brown instead of the usual black. Make sure you pick what goes with your overall groom look. Morts and More recommends this rule of thumb – the lighter the blue, the lighter the brown.
Here are a couple different types of suits you can rock, that are really trending right now – {thanks Sena!}
Types of Suits
Two Button: 2 button, single breasted jacket, with a double vent. Classic style, and very suitable for occasions, so you can keep it in your closet after the wedding.
