So yesterday we featured the new kid on the block of men's fashion Mr.Porter to help inspire the grooms (we know how they love fashion). And inspired by the dapperness we saw, we thought we'd seek out the epitome of olde worlde gentlemanly glamour - the bowtie.

Ever chic, the bowtie is making a comeback in weddings, but in a non-traditional way. Think funky, hipster style - a cool bowtie and more casual summer suit. Little like these gorgeous dude grooms...

Bit of Wild West charm in gingham from Red Herring at Debenhams or  Old School Stripey from TM Lewin.

Slick and posh - the navy Lanvin bowtie;  For the superstar groom - House of Fraser;  Classic and elegant groom - Zara's plain black bowtie.

All striped out? Hit Topman for a groom on a budget or a spotty dotty groom might like a little multi-colour fun from Pixel and Hank. Sunshiny yellow cheers up any wedding picture from Divine Domestication. The groom who is as fragrant as a flowergarden  may like the range from Forage.

But for the ultimate crazy bowtie collection you have to check out Swagger and Swoon - all sorts of bowties for all sorts of grooms and groomsmen.

What are you going to make the man in your life wear now??
