Seven looks for bridegrooms

Even the most style-conscious dandy has to play second fiddle to his bride on the big day. The key is good tailoring with a fit that flatters your shape, so a bespoke suit or one tailored to your figure will work wonders in terms of confidence and good looks. Choose a colour like Prussian blue that works with your skin tone and get advice if you don’t know. Beware of buying off the peg.
