    Going green

    As seen at… Bottega Veneta, Hardy Amies, Burberry, Dunhill

    Nick says: ‘Green is a refreshing alternative to black and is also surprisingly versatile – forest greens are flattering on pale skins while khaki’s great on dark tones. I love smart green trousers with a navy double-breasted jacket for a chic wedding abroad vibe.’
    Wear it with… ‘Something fresh like Acqua Di Parma’s Colonia Club; it has a zing of neroli and mint.’ Colonia Club, £57 for 50ml, www.acquadiparma.com

    Biscuit? Sweet!

    As seen at… J Crew, Boglioli, Bally
    ‘With the ’70s revival in full swing, there was a strong showing of light and golden browns on men’s catwalks. For a winter ceremony, this has been reinterpreted in much slimmer cuts and warmer fabrics, such as tweed, mohair and even corduroy.’
    Wear it with… ‘Try a scent that’s quite sweet. Tommy Hilfiger’s TH Bold has delicious hints of lavender.’ TH Bold, £51 for 100ml, www.tommy.com

    Work it in white

    As seen at… Gieves & Hawkes, Todd Snyder
    ‘The worst thing about your bride wearing white? The jealousy. The trick to pulling off an all-white or off-white outfit is to go for quality (aka non-shiny cotton) – I’d pair it with a black or navy tie. This is ideal for a city summer wedding.’
    Wear it with… ‘Ermenegildo Zegna’s Acqua di Bergamotto’s vetiver and bergamot evokes fields in Italy – it’s naturally chic, like this styling.’ Acqua di Bergamotto, £55 for 50ml, www.zegna.com

    A clean slate

    As seen at… Versace, Corneliani, E Tautz, Gieves & Hawkes
    ‘If you’re looking to re-use your wedding suit, go for a mid-grey: not only is it bang on-trend (especially if worn with other greys), but it’s also great for mixing and matching. A dark gunmetal jacket with lighter grey wool trousers looks incredibly sharp.’
    Wear it with… ‘A serious suit needs a serious scent like Aramis Black, with notes of leather and incense.’ Black, £52 for 110ml, Aramis at www.boots.com
