Hands up who is getting excited for the festive season?! <\/span><\/p>\n

Crackling log fires, the scent of cinnamon, mulled wine, and a romantic winter wonderland theme. Swoon! If you’re busy as a bee planning your winter wedding, chances are you will be getting the boys kitted out over the next few months.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

But, how do you display some personality or add fun elements if you’re a wedding guest or member of the bridal party? Here are four trends that will complement your theme perfectly during the colder months ahead…<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Classic<\/center><\/p>\n

Classic Elegance<\/h2>\n

If you\u2019re not the adventurous type, then simplicity will be key for comfort. Pair a black or navy suit with a crisp white shirt and <\/span>classic tie<\/span><\/a>. This may be a standard style, but when executed right, it is seriously refined and elegant. If you’re invited to a glitzy celebration over New Years, a sophisticated tuxedo is always a safe bet – all the better if the dress code is black tie. If you want to be a bit more adventurous, the\u00a0<\/span>bow tie<\/a>\u00a0has made a huge comeback over the past two years – and it’s here to stay. A bright colour or pattern print such as polka dot, will set you apart from the rest.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Casual<\/center><\/p>\n

Keeping Things Casual<\/h2>\n

Not all weddings are swanky affairs! <\/span><\/p>\n

Many couples are moving towards more casual celebrations in alternative venues. If you’re a wedding guest who is allergic to the thought of donning a three-piece suit, a more casual theme will certainly suit your style.<\/span><\/p>\n

If you think suits are a bit restrictive, a great option is a red, <\/span>chambray fabric<\/span><\/a> sports coat with a colourful box tie and blue jeans.\u00a0Understated yet on-trend and fashionable.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Linen<\/center><\/p>\n

Linen For A Winter Wedding Abroad<\/h2>\n

Perfect, if you’re jetting abroad during winter to say I Do in the\u00a0sunshine. <\/span><\/p>\n

For the actual ceremony, you will more than likely be wearing your\u00a0suit jacket. But, once the party gets started, you\u2019re going to need to cool down whilst maintaining your style. Ditch the\u00a0jacket and tie in favor of a light and breezy linen shirt. <\/span><\/p>\n

Linen shirts ooze old school 60’s vibes and a wacky floral print will perfectly match the sunnier tropical climate. Plus –\u00a0linen is\u00a0a cooling fabric. Meaning you can throw some shapes on the dance floor without worrying about any dreaded sweat patches.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Cravat\"<\/center><\/p>\n

Add A Dapper Cravat<\/h2>\n

Are you brave enough to rock a cravat \u00e0 la Austin Powers? Cravats come in and out of style in the fashion world, but they always add a dapper touch. Classic red looks particularly suave or a patterned swatch of rich colours will look fabulous during the festive season. You can source a range of cravats on sites like <\/span>formaltailor.com<\/span><\/a>, or any company that specialises in wedding accessories. <\/span><\/p>\n

Even within the confines of wedding fashion for men, you can branch out and show some individuality. You will be in a room FULL of men, who are all dressed very similarly to you. So, why not get creative and floor them with your style!!<\/span><\/p>\n
