Styleboard: Men’s Pastels

Yes, men, I said pastels. Don’t worry though, pastel shades are hot on men especially during the summer months. They are not just for girls: pastel colours are getting more and more popular for men, especially for wedding wear. So I’ve gathered together some of the best pastel items for you to wear on your wedding day. Just don’t outshine the bride!

(Clockwise from left) This pink Marc Wallace waistcoat has a lovely cross weave design. It is a lovely shade that is very flattering and perfect if your bride is after a fairytale wedding.

These pink and silver cufflinks are from the fantastic Cuffs and Collars which has hundreds of cufflink designs at great prices. These are ideal for adding a touch of pink without being too feminine and have a lovely light shine to them.

Grey suits are the best choice for accompanying pastel shades. Black is too heavy and white can get stained very easily- not great if you’re hiring your suit. This jacket is from Suits You and has a really flattering cut to it. This jacket makes any groom look his best.

Don’t forget the shirt! This lilac striped shirt is from Marks & Spencer and is perfect for the groom who is a bit apprehensive of pastels. This is a more subtle choice than a block colour shirt and the vertical pinstripes are slimming, too.

Finally, why not give your bride a surprise and carry the theme to your underwear too? These lilac boxer shorts from Next will give her a cheeky surprise on your wedding night. She’s guaranteed to be impressed with the effort you have gone to.
