Weddings Deconstructed: No Padding Required
If trend forecasting is anything to go by, the suit is back! (for some of us it’s never gone away…:) but for others, the idea of wearing a suit conjures up thoughts of discomfort and constriction, rigid traditions so far removed from our everyday.
But what if you want to wear a Suit..?
Why Tailoring Matters
There is an important point to make. A well-tailored suit should be all about comfort, as well as proportion and balance and above all, your suit should be a reflection of your own personality and personal style, whether in the cut, the styling, the fabric, or added details and accessories.
Making it Your Own
Whether it’s single-breasted, double-breasted or a three-piece suit with single-pleated or double-pleated, or indeed flat fronted trousers, there is so much to choose from and we are here to guide you through the process and create a style that reflects you.
The Italian Approach
For some time we have been extolling the virtues of the Fatto in Italia suit - the Neapolitan-style of tailoring which pioneered a deconstructed construction i.e., no shoulder pads or accompanying padding at the sleeve-head and no lining, just a soft full chest canvas to give the jacket it's shape. The result? A more fluid silhouette that never sacrifices sophistication.
Going Fully Deconstructed
One step further and we have the Darby suit - a workwear suit inspired by the chore jacket, which has become increasingly popular as a truly deconstructed ‘wedding suit’, offering a completely unlined jacket that lends itself to cotton twills and corduroys or even denim. For couples seeking a more relaxed, contemporary aesthetic - particularly for outdoor or destination weddings - this stripped-back approach feels refreshingly modern while remaining unmistakably refined.
Whichever silhouette you choose or whichever silhouette chooses you , the most important thing is to create a suit that is comfortable, that fits well and instills confidence. Then you can forget all about it and enjoy your day.
Remember, it's not about the suit, it's about the person wearing the suit.
