5 trendiest looks for grooms in 2022
We’re switching things up a little and shifting our focus away from the bride to the groom. And what better way to bring you styling tips for grooms than by updating you with some trends? Here are five of the biggest trends for grooms in 2022!
WAISTCOATS
Dating back from the late 1930s, waistcoats are a great suit option for grooms that can fit into any style of wedding. Coming into cooler weather, waistcoats are a great way to add some warmth by layering it under a jacket, whether it be matching or contrasting. Here’s two different looks that are perfect to try out:

OLD WORLD FABRICS
What is trendier than putting on a suit featuring a houndstooth, tweed, or plaid fabric? How about finding it vintage or second-hand! This look is such a bold statement that can instantly transform a look into something more stylish and elegant for a groom. Vintage suits can be timeless but also modern, featuring updated colours and textures in ties or undershirts.

BOW TIES
What is more retro than adding a bow tie to your look? Choosing to wear a bow tie opens up a world of different styling options! The color and pattern of the bow tie can coordinate with the color of the entire suit, match other accessories, or stand out on its own. We are loving quirky and unique patterns that show off the groom's individual style!

MICROPRINTS
Microprints are having their moment in 2022! Small patterns add instant luxury to a groomswear look, and they're one of the most wearable trends on our list- appearing on jackets, ties, trousers, waistcoats and everything in between. In order to nail this trend, the key is to make the microprint the star and to keep the rest of your outfit simple. Try pairing a microprint blazer with a plain coloured trouser and waistcoat, or make the microprint an accent with a pocket square or tie!
Slim Fit Suits
Last but not least, one of the biggest grooms trends I’ve noticed now more than ever are slim fit suits. Swap out your relaxed fit and long-tailed suits! Today, it’s all about sharp silhouettes and perfected tailoring – leading to a confident and comfortable groom! Choose to accessorise with unique ties and accent pieces. After all, everything looks great with a perfect-fitting suit!
