“When I saw you, I fell in love, and you smiled because you knew.” Arrigo Boito
Tweed vests are staging a comeback, perfect for vintage or boho wedding themes, or weddings taking place during cooler months. Needless to say, you have the entire flexibility of wearing this light and fresh or dark and serious outfit piece on your big day.
IT’S FALL, BUT WHAT DO YOU WEAR TO A WEDDING AS A GUEST ON ALL SEASONS?
#FreestyleFridays
It’s hard to define Fall fashion minus this lightweight and solid V-Neck Sweater that is knit from a fine blend of cotton and cashmere. This long sleeve V-neck sweater accounts for a stylish layering option, as a business-casual outfit, when the temperature starts to drop.

There’s no looking back with this slim-fitting blazer sporting a classic vintage look. I love the details: an overlapped “butterfly” lining, a chest pocket, and real coroza buttons. Made of garment dyed corduroy fabric, it is ready-to-go with matching pants, and is the perfect outfit with layering the season requires than a heavy-duty blazer.
THREE UNUSUALLY GREAT JACKETS FOR MEN TO EXPERIMENT WITH THIS FALL

A semi-casual jacket designed to be sleek and modern. It comes with natural shoulders, a notch lapel, a two button front, and it is double-vented in the back. The fabric material is wool fabric, and the jacket can be paired with a matching brown navy check suit trouser, or worn as a sport coat over a pair of raw denim jeans or chinos.

How to appear more muscular through the art of layering?
If you’re bestowed with sloped shoulders or a somewhat slim upper body, learn to layer your outfit in such a way so as to craft a delusion of broader shoulders. To make your shoulders look broader, go for contrasting fabric or details like epaulets. If you are built with a big upper body, I recommend you check Raglan sleeve that can create a wider underarm area, thereby providing you a more sloped shoulder.

“Begin the week with momentum and you’ll look back with great satisfaction on all you achieved.” – Skip Prichard
Talking about gaining momentum in the beginning of the week, you’ll never go wrong with this tailored jacket constructed of wool blend. This one-button blazer can either spruce up your look, or go fully formal when teamed up with any classic trousers. An excellent transitional piece, it also features a notch lapel and collar, and comes complete with a horn button.
There are a few do’s and don’ts that most style pros share when it comes to selecting the right outfit for a wedding guest. If you’re a groomsman, then you need to be doubly careful about what you wear in a wedding ceremony before you perform the required acts. Style-conscious couples will agree that any wedding dress code depends on the style of the occasion or event, and what time of the year it is. For instance, what your wear to a casual wedding when the sun is scorching bright will be vastly different from what you wear to a black-tie wedding in the bitingly chilly cold.
Suppose if you’re code is black-tie; then I recommend a black tuxedo. Guests should also pick the appropriate tuxedo-shirt, cufflinks in a matchy-matchy metal, a stud set, either a vest waist or cummerbund covering, with white-colored pocket square and black patent leather shoes as suitable accessories.
In addition to the above recommended outfits depending upon whether the wedding is formal, casual or even semi-causal, the location and season of the wedding play an important part in the selection of the right outfit for wedding guests. If you’re a guest to a Summer beach wedding, the recommended style will be lighter colors. For Fall weddings, go for darker jewel-tone colors and richer fabric materials including silk and velvet. In the case of winter weddings, I recommend cashmere, velvet and wool, in addition to jackets, blazers and heavily constructed shoes. When the summer is at its peak, the best outfit for wedding guests should include fabrics that are lightweight, comfortable and free flowing.
The location of the wedding shouldn’t be taken lightly in the matter of selecting the right outfit if you’re a wedding guest. For example, don’t expect that what you wear for an outdoor wedding at a farm will be equally good for an evening bash at a swanky ballroom. It is also important to check if there are any religious ceremonies featuring in the wedding. Attending a wedding in a religious facility requires a bit of attention. Ensure your shoulders are well covered and hats removed. Therefore, some research should go into the wedding venue before the actual event so you may understand what the expectations are. You can also check the photos of the venue on its website or social media pages for greater clarity. Leave no stone unturned on what not to wear that is not appropriate to a wedding based on its theme, season of the year, location and formality.

Well, nothing can beat a well-tailored suit on your big day? Maybe only when it comes in a shade of deep, rich burgundy. Oxblood or ox-blood suits form the super-perfect addition to your Fall wedding. They can be either dressed up or down to fit your venue and inject just the right amount of warmth and coziness.

This Fall, we revisit the elegant gentleman from the 1930’s and his wardrobe. Here’s a two-button brown worsted suit constructed with notched lapels and a double breasted waistcoat with a bit of overlap. It is nicely paired with a grey oxford shirt and white starched collar, a black and coral striped repp silk tie, and a typical black Homburg hat. Accessories include black captoe Oxford shoes, a blue overcoat, and milk chocolate brown pigskin gloves.

How to tie a scarf in cold weather?
For the cold weather, use a medium length scarf. Wrap it around your neck with one end a little longer. Make a loop with the longer end and pull each end through the loop and tighten. As simple as it gets.
