Trend in menswear, European style
It used to be that all eyes were on
the bride and her bridesmaids. But
the men have demanded equal
status and now the groom and his
party are just as fashionable in their
formal wear.
Case in point. According to
Leonard Goldstein, vice-president
of Freeman Formalwear, two new
vests have arrived on the scene for
'93 weddings. One is cream
coloured and the other is black.
They're both double-breasted to be
worn with a single-breasted tuxedo.
"They're tasteful but strong on their
own," without needing a lot of
colour, he says.
Higher fashion trousers, under
the labels of Matteo Maas and
Harris & Hobb's, are doing away
with the satin stripe down the pant
leg. Due to popular demand, they're
trimming the waistband with it
instead, he says.
The trend in menswear is
"certainly toward European
styling," he says. There's still a
strong interest in "separate, fancy
vests" in "multi-coloured paisleys,
neat little subtle colors on a black
background, and tartans."
"I don't think at any time has
black been more defmite," he says.
Black has been increasing in
popularity since the beginning of
the '80s, he adds.
According to Ivan Zichy,
president and co-owner of Tuxedo
Royale, Raffinati's Park Ave white
dinner jacket, teamed with black
pants with a black lapel on the coat,
is a new addition to formal wear for
Toasting
the happy
couple
In many cultures - and
throughout history - liquor and
wine have played a big part in
weddings. Even today, a
celebration isn't complete until the
guests have raised their glasses in a
wish for health and happiness.
To ensure that the "spirit" lives
on, here are some tips for providing
liquor at your wedding:
CI Decide what you'll serve. First,
pick a drink for toasting.
Champagne is a wedding classic,
but many marriages have been
saluted with sparkling cider,
bubbling punch or white wine.
CI Determine how much you'll
need. You can make sure the drinks
last as long as the festivities by
counting on each guest having two
drinks the first hour, one more
every hour after that.
0 Place drink tables so that
drinkers and non-drinkers mix
easily. Have waiters circulate with
drink choices - or have both
alcoholic and non-alcoholic
beverages at all serving points.
0 Keep a clear head - and make
sure your guests do too.
the '93 wedding.
The Park Ave. "is not for
everybody. For those who care to
be a little different, it'll be great,"
he says.
According to Michael Silver,
president of Syd Silver Formals,
"the relaxed finis still important."
Black also remains a dominant
colour.
His company has introduced a
line of Italian fabric garments in
super 100 all wool. This is the
same sort of wool, he says, that's
used in fashions by Hugo Boss and
Armani.
This fabric creates "a very soft,
easily draping outfit. It has a nice
finish to it when it's tailored," he
says.
