The Haberdasher
Wedding Attire Trends for the Gentlemen By Oscar B. Hult, Haberdasher A FEW OF THE BIGGEST TRENDS WE ARE SEEING AT THE NATTY DRESSER THIS YEAR ARE; THREE PIECE SUITS, EARTH TONES AND ACCESSORIES THAT ARE A LITTLE UNEXPECTED. • 3 Piece Suits Matching jackets, vests and trousers are definitely the look for 2022, as well as layering an odd vest with a two piece suit. The old standby, satin vests, are pretty much out for weddings this year. People are looking for a more textural experience, relying much more on wool, linen looks and tweeds. This is a trend that we love to see. Guys look so much better in a jacket, it elevates the entire look, and they still look good once they take off the jacket for the reception. The bow tie and suspender look has been pretty much relegated to high school proms.
will continue to be easy neutrals that pair nicely with the other popular earth tones. • Unexpected accessories While they are rooted in classic menswear, some of the unexpected accessories that are gaining traction include things like velvet, blue suede or glitter covered loafers! Bow ties and pocket squares made of feathers are trending as well. More traditional accessories like cufflinks, tie bars and pocket watches continue to grow in popularity as well. Have fun planning your wedding, and be sure to have a piece of cake for me. Dress Well, Be Confident, Find Success!
• Earth Tones Hunter green is going to be the hot color this year! We are also seeing interest in colors like cinnamon, moss and rosewood for ties and pocket squares. Grey and navy suits
