The changing landscape of men\u2019s formalwear brings with it many opportunities for expression and even innovation, but it\u2019s often hard to keep up with new trends.\u00a0<\/span>There are a lot of options out there, from the tuxedo and traditional wedding suit to tweed, tartan and herringbone.<\/span><\/p>\n

One timeless classic that appears to transcend most styles, and which has been a staple at weddings for generations, is the 3 piece suit.\u00a0<\/span>The traditional 3 piece suit<\/span><\/a> is defined as featuring a jacket, waist-coast and trouser, usually finished with a pocket square and tie that either matches or complements.\u00a0<\/span>Sometimes the colour and material of all three is uniform, although a growing number are choosing to mix and match to create new looks and add depth to their outfit.<\/span><\/p>\n

But as styles shift, is the 3 piece suit still the right choice for men in 2020?\u00a0<\/span>Well, whether it\u2019s a Hollywood awards ceremony, a film premiere or just a formal get-together, the look certainly remains a hit for the world\u2019s biggest stars and fashion influencers.\u00a0<\/span>Actor Henry Cavill is a fine exponent of the look and is rarely seen at events in anything other than a three-piece.\u00a0<\/span>The 36-year-old, who became a household name with his portrayal of Superman in 2013, usually keeps things understated, combining dark blues, greys and blacks to achieve a classic look on the red carpet.\u00a0<\/span>Fellow action hero Channing Tatum is another fine ambassador for the style, often utilising pinstripes, light checks and lighter greys to build a timeless outfit.<\/span><\/p>\n

Other influential fashionistas helping to keep the 3 piece in vogue are model David Gandy, who typically opts for darker blues and blacks, and Mad Men star John Hamm, who recently caught the eye in a grey three-piece complemented by black contrast buttons and pocket square.\u00a0<\/span>But away from all that A-list glamour, the 3 piece suit remains the perfect choice for weddings as it provides formality, with no shortage of adaptability.<\/span><\/p>\n

A classic dark grey jacket-waistcoat-trouser combo, paired with black tie and pocket square helps you achieve a clean contemporary look, while blues and lighter greys are equally strong candidate colours.\u00a0<\/span>The popular tweed suit style also works great in a 3 piece and allows wedding guests to strike an effortless autumnal look by combining browns, blues and yellows.<\/span><\/p>\n

Consider a blue-yellow check waist-coat and pocket square, alongside a brown jacket and trouser, and white linen shirt to achieve a timeless rustic style, or take a classic light blue trouser and jacket, and pair with a grey and black check waistcoat for something more traditional yet eye-catching.<\/span><\/p>\n

By building a wardrobe featuring a range of jackets, trousers and waistcoats, you can mix and match to create new looks, without the need to buy a new suit each time.<\/span><\/p>\n

Colours to look out for in 2020 include green and burgundy, offering a modern twist on the classic wedding blue suit, while bold checks, either throughout the outfit or just in the waistcoat, are expected to be an increasingly common sight.<\/span><\/p>\n

So although the classic men\u2019s suit is forever changing, it seems the classic 3 piece suit truly is here to stay.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The changing landscape of men\u2019s formalwear brings with it many opportunities for expression and even innovation, but it\u2019s often hard to keep up with new trends.\u00a0There are a lot of options out there, from the tuxedo and traditional wedding suit to tweed, tartan and herringbone.
