Grooms, what can we say? You have really been knocking it out of the park in terms of the style game this year. Each wedding submission we receive, our admiration grows with how the boys are stepping up their game and making their look truly individual. From rustic tweed style suits to dapper black-tie looks, we have been loving them all. But what does the winter groom do to stand out? One answer is a hot fashion trend right now: the Velvet Blazer.
Real Grooms Rocking the Velvet Blazer
And as you can see it's not just about black. Rich shades including burgundy, deep navy and forest green are all in the shops at the moment. Talk about a dashing look: luscious velvet jacket paired with a crisp white shirt and super bow tie. Perfect for a festive wedding. If you like this idea but think it might be a bit OTT why not opt for a subtle velvet bow tie, tie or velvet boutonniere instead.
