The Velveteen Gent: Cool Styles For Fall and Winter Grooms

The Velveteen Gent: Cool Styles For Fall and Winter Grooms

November 10, 2016

So, what does today’s groom look like? He’s taking his cue from history… the 1970s to be exact.

What we’re seeing are well-groomed gents  sporting “stylish”, retro velvet sportcoats, smoking jackets or dinner jackets with accenting black satin lapels in a variety of colors from black to bolder hues like burgundy, deep blue,  purples and seasonal greens and reds.

Not for the shy or understated these daring fashion statements for men are one of our favorites and certainly fun, whimsical and tasteful if paired with the right shirt, ties and vest.
