The
Morning suit is historical, is considered the suit for excellence in
matters of men's formal wear all over the world, unmistakable symbol
of elegance for the wedding of your dreams.
Its
first appearance was in England in the nineteenth century, used by
cavalry as their official dress and by knights; the use by these two
categories of people is due to the fact that the jacket, opened in
the back, it was very comfortable for riding in the saddle.
Nowadays the Morning Suit is exclusively used for ceremonies, strictly in the morning. Its use
is tied to a whole protocol “Morning Dress Code” that those who
decide to buy a suit of this kind must should know. The protocol
states that if the groom wears a Morning suit, even the father of the
newlyweds and the witnesses must wear a Morning suit.
Until
a few years ago the only admitted model was the classic morning suit:
black jacket, gray and black striped trousers, waistcoat matched to
the suit, tie,
stick and cylinder. In recent years the morning suit have become more
modern, the grooms have more choice and it's more accessible and
useful.
The
morning suit of today can also be monochrome (jacket, trousers and
vest), and this choice doesn't bind family members and friends in any
way; the use of the stick and the cylinder is optional and the tie
may be replaced by a tie wide 10,5 cm or an ascot.
The
one colored morning suit ranging from gray to blue in different
shades, but 2015 will be marked by a completely new morning suit: the
morning suit in Prince of Wales, elegant and whimsical at the same
time.
The
waistcoat is the accessory that usually distinguishes the groom from
the other guests, and even in the morning suit there are several
possibilities that you can also find in other types of suit: simple 5
buttons waistcoat, normal double-breasted and asymmetric
double-breasted; after choosing the waistcoat, it's necessary to
enrich the suit with other accessories: chain, cufflinks, tie or
cravat, handkerchief, pin.
The
color of the waistcoat will vary depending on the impression you want
to give to the general presentation:
- Classical waistcoat for a traditional ceremony: black with white profiles
- Traditional ceremony with a touch of color: pearly white or pearl gray waistcoat
- A touch of Brit color: colors such as green, red, dark blue and so on
- To give a touch of luxury and nobility: waistcoat in pure jacquard silk
- Alternative vintage wedding: black jacket with waistcoat and trousers in "hound’s-tooth" or “Prince of Wales”.
The
next accessory to choose after the 3 basic pieces of the suit is the
shirt. The shirt for the morning suit can be "double twisted"
cotton, smooth satin, micro patterns or a cotton satin. Preferably
double cuff for cufflinks, one of the most stylish accessories in
men's formal wear.
If you
want to give a touch of color, it's allowed to use light blue shirts
or other soft colors with a contrasting white collar. In any case,
the collars for a shirt to combine with a morning suit can be: wing
or tuxedo, but you should never match a wing collar with a tie; or
classic collar with tie or ascot.
Regarding
the ascot or tie, there are no limits for the color, especially if
it's a monochrome morning suit; this accessory is extremely personal,
and the choice is only by the groom: solid color, micro patterns,
geometric patterns, stripes, brocade and so on. The choice of the tie
or the ascot denotes a large part of the personality of a man.
An
accessory that is still present, although many people think it's only
useful by older men, are the suspenders. Regarding its utility, the
suspenders serve to keep up and straight the trousers of men with a
little or a lot of belly, for avoid the formation of anti esthetic
pleats on the shoe. Today is a trendy accessory, reinterpreted in
different patterns and colors.
The
shoes to match with a morning suit can be of two types: Oxford in
shiny black scalp for the classic morning suit with black jacket and
striped trousers; Derby for the morning suit of one color, even dark
brown. These are two extremely stylish and of quality models that
represent the purest style Gentleman. One important tip: always
scratch the leather sole to prevent slipping.
The
accessories that many grooms choose not to use are the cylinder and
the stick, which derive from the English culture. In England it often
rains and the gentlemen always wore a hat and had an umbrella in case
of sudden rain, hence the transformation of the cylinder and stick in
elegant accessories for the groom who wears a morning suit.

Gentleman collection of Ottavio Nuccio Gala has a wide range of morning suits
to choose among which, from classic to modern, lots of different
accessories, qualitatively very high fabrics and a real culture in
this field.
