WHERE: The Mediterranean WHY: “Our Summer 2015- 16 collection channels the Mediterranean lifestyle and climate, and the style of the men in places such as Northern Italy, Spain and the South of France, then gives it a New Zealand twist. The Mediterranean region is warm and the people gesticulate a lot, so their approach to dressing allows for movement and comfort in the heat.” BRING OUT HIS INNER MEDITERRANEAN: “The best way for a groom to achieve a Mediterranean look is to wear what the Italians term ‘spezzato’. It means ‘mix and match’ and refers to the coupling of a jacket and trousers made from different yet complementary fabrics, rather than wearing a suit made from just one cloth. This approach can be applied to anything, from black tie to cotton casuals. Just be sure he wears a tie to formalise the look for your big day.”
