TheChicGeek Guide to Weddings - 2012 - Traditional Day
The school of thought on this one is all the attention should be focussed on the happy couple. Think sober, traditional menswear where the devil is in the detail. It’s a long day, so you want something that is comfortable and also continues to look good well into the evening. This won't be breaking any fashionable moulds, but use it as an opportunity to invest in quality classics and timeless accessories.

Drakes - Double Warp Stripe Tie - £95
Charvet - Slim-Fit Cotton Shirt - £260
Links of London - Knot Cufflinks - £95
Pantherella - Black Socks - £20
Edward Green - Shelton - £650
If You Go Down To The Woods Today...
The 'Teddy Bear' coat is so called because the fabric is the same as they use to make cuddly teddy bears. This isn't faux-fur as it isn't pretending to be anything specific or trying to look real. Full fur coats on men look, at best, dubious and a bit much, so these make a great winter coat which has the weight and volume with the added warming texture. These coats are quite an investment but they are timeless and will last forever. Perfect for a walk in the woods.
