The Colour Edit by Hockerty
|
Tailoring Company Hockerty has released fourteen new looks, each one inspired by a different Italian location. Ranging from Ravello to Vallombrosa, colour is key in this collection.
Every town's vibrant personality has been tailored into bright and stylish outfits that capture the essence of Italy. With summer heating up, a jet-black suit won't be ideal for most, and these location-inspired colour edits allow you to harmonise with the tropical palette of summertime, while remaining smart and sleek in typical Italian style.
Although less associated with modern groom suits, bold colours were once the standard for those waiting at the altar and only changed during the Victorian era! The transition from flamboyant and brightly coloured outfits, into the sombre charcoal suits we now associate with grooms, was to signify authority and seriousness. But most modern couples would rather project jubilee and happiness, and Hockerty's new colour edits bottle this up in abundance.
Lago di Como – Powder blue double-breasted linen-Tencel jacket with a pink shirt and loafers with tassels.
This combination takes the cold and warmth of the same lake and resolves it into a single outfit.
Volterra – Yellow ochre double-breasted elastic jacket.
Perhaps the most unexpected tone of the edit, a yellow that doesn't shout, but is remembered.
Caltagirone – Terracotta suit crafted from linen and lined with luxurious cupro, paired with a blue steel coloured shirt.
An ensemble featuring the vibrant colour of Sicilian maiolicas, elegantly transformed into a suit.
