Christmas is on the horizon which means it's time to embrace the magic of winter weddings. At Slater Menswear, we understand the importance of looking your best, no matter your role at the wedding. From the groom to all-day guests and evening invites only, we have the perfect winter wedding looks to keep you stylish and warm on the big day.
Groom's Dashing Winter Attire
When it comes to a winter wedding, the groom can opt for a black tie (tuxedo) get-up to achieve a timeless and sophisticated look. We have pulled together our top tips on how to create the perfect black-tie attire while keeping warm and on-trend:
1. Black Tuxedo: A well-fitted black tuxedo is the quintessential choice for a formal winter wedding. The sleek lines and classic black colour exude elegance and make you stand out on your special day.
2. Crisp White Dress Shirt: A perfectly pressed white dress shirt is a must. It beautifully combines with the black tuxedo and offers a look.
3. Black Silk Bowtie: The black silk bowtie is the signature piece of a black-tie ensemble. Refined and traditional, it adds a touch of formality to your look.
4. Accessories: Accessorise can make or break your look so choose wisely with black patent leather shoes, a silk pocket square, and cufflinks that match the formal aesthetic.
5. Finishing Touches: Finish off your look by adding some elements that reflect your personality or the wedding theme. Maybe some custom monogrammed cufflinks or a boutonniere that matches the bridal bouquet.
By choosing the traditional black-tie attire for your winter wedding, you'll not only exude timeless sophistication but also ensure that you're comfortably warm throughout the celebration. It's a look that's sure to make a lasting impression on your special day.

All-Day Wedding Guest
As an all-day wedding guest, you'll need an outfit that's versatile enough to keep you comfortable from the daytime ceremony to the late-night reception. Here's what to consider:
1. Classic Wool Suit: Opt for a tailored wool suit in deep shades like charcoal or navy. Wool not only exudes elegance but also keeps you warm during the ceremony and outdoor photos.
2. Tweed Suit: Try a tweed suit in a deep green or light beige for that cosy winter vibe while creating a statement look.
3. Footwear: Ensure you have comfortable and stylish shoes, like leather brogues, that can take you through the day and into the night.
4. Accessorize: A lambswool scarf, leather gloves, and a stylish overcoat will protect you from the cold. A well-shined pair of leather boots is a must to keep your feet warm.

Night Or Reception Guests
If you're attending the evening reception as a guest and prefer a smart-casual look, you can strike the perfect balance between style and comfort. Here's how to achieve a sophisticated yet relaxed appearance:
1. Tweed Or Textured Blazer: Opt for a well-fitted blazer in a deep, rich color like navy, charcoal, or dark green. A well-constructed blazer instantly elevates your ensemble.
2. Open-Collar Dress Shirt: Choose a high-quality dress shirt with a crisp open collar, allowing for a relaxed and stylish appearance. Lighter shades or subtly patterned shirts work wonderfully.
3. Dress Trousers or Chinos: Pair your blazer with either dark dress trousers for a more formal look or dark-colored chinos for a slightly more casual style. Both options keep you warm and stylish.
4. Smart Footwear: Select polished leather shoes or suede loafers to complete your smart-casual look. Make sure they're comfortable for dancing and mingling during the evening celebration.
5. Accessorise Thoughtfully: Add sophistication with a pocket square that complements your blazer or a stylish tie if you prefer. Consider a leather belt that matches your footwear.
6. Layering Options: To keep warm in the chilly winter evening, consider adding a lightweight Merino wool sweater under your blazer. It adds warmth and texture to your outfit.
7. Overcoat: Don't forget to bring along a stylish overcoat or topcoat for your arrival and departure. It not only provides extra warmth but also adds an additional layer of refinement to your look.
