"Prior to the pandemic, grooms' outfits were morning suits or a simple grey or black tux. Now that we are coming from the other side, a lot of couples are rethinking tradition and opting to really embrace their individuality. This has translated into grooms taking a much more fun and laid-back approach to their wedding outfits with many of my clients opting to wear more interesting colours and fabrics with textures and patterns, even linens and linen blends, which have become popular for weddings. I see the trend of individual style over standard 'wedding wear' sticking and think we will be seeing a lot more options for people who want to wear suits in this area in the years to come." — John Peter Baker, designer and stylist at John Peter Baker Designs
