Wondering what fashion trends will be big for
grooms this year? Then look no further than today’s Fashion Friday entry! Young’sHire, one of UK’s leading formalwear hire companies, have put together a trend
report for 2015 looking into popular styles, colours and trends.
Gentlemen
prefer kilts
The
traditional highland wear is set to take centre stage over the coming year. Donning
a kilt and sporran has always been seen as a statement of true Scottish
identity. However new data from Young’s Hire has revealed that, incredibly,
there are more proud Scots in England than in Scotland when it comes to
selecting traditional Scottish dress. Depending on where you’re getting
married, English cities such as London (21%), Leicester (12%), Manchester (10%)
and Sheffield (10%) are all topping Dundee (9%). Surprisingly Aberdeen
accounted for just two percent of the UK's highland wear hires - ranking well
below Liverpool (6%), Bristol (6%), Newcastle (4%), and Cardiff (3%).
One of
the key tartan trends, Grey Granite continues its tradition as a long standing
favourite, followed closely by the Pride of Scotland check – a pattern that
shows real national pride.
"It's
always fascinating to take a more holistic look at the formalwear trends around
the UK, and it's great to see that although people are really broadening their
horizons when it comes to suiting-up for a special occasion, the traditional
items like a top hat and tailcoat are still proving very popular. It’s great
that traditional Scottish highland wear is still going strong and is growing in
popularity across England,” comments Chris Burns, at Young's Hire.
Art deco chic
The
traditional ‘top hat and tails’ look continues to be a favourite – classic
elegance and opulence. There is however a North/South divide, with London
topping the charts when going all out to impress their brides, while northern
cities chose a more casual smart approach.
Adding character
To finish
off the look, well chosen accessories enable grooms to express their personality
and style. Cravats remain the top neck-piece for formal looks, with colours that
tie in with the bride’s look – ivory, light pink and silver. Bold coloured
dicki bow ties are the ‘laid back’ alternative for a more relaxed celebration.
