You’re going to be making the greatest proposal of your life! But, not in the boardroom with the board of directors you want to impress or with a group of friends at the local pub suggesting a great new plan or idea that could ‘change the world’. It’s to ask the leading lady or man of your life for their hand in marriage. Therefore, it’s important to consider what you’re going to wear as you bring your plans together.
Where will you propose?
First of all, where you plan to propose may well affect what you decide to wear. Certainly, you’ll want to show your other half that you’ve made an effort to look good for them. Let’s make it fairly easy and give you some guidelines for if you live here in the UK.
A town or country proposal?
Is it to be in the country or in the town? If it’s outdoors in the countryside you want to be warm and relaxed. You may have planned to go to a country pub or gastro pub/restaurant to celebrate after the deed is done!
A great tailor-made coat or a heavy weight country tweed jacket could be just the thing to wear. Team it with a button down shirt or a lovely piece of Lora Piana knitwear with warm cord trousers or even jeans! (Yes! you can buy made-to-measure jeans, consequently you’ll still feel tailored, even though you’re in the country.) Likewise, don’t forget to add a great leather belt and country brogues to complete the look. At our studio in Northampton we have shoes and accessories to buy ‘off the shelf’. Another good reason to come to Saint Crispin Bespoke Menswear and do all your proposal outfit shopping in the one easy appointment.
A heavy weight tweed coat will look smart and last a lifetime.
Perhaps you’re planning something a bit more sophisticated and would like a smart/casual jacket made with fabric from Loro Piana. Maybe a wool and cashmere blend from the new season’s limited edition collection and a toning pair of trousers? Pair with an open neck shirt in a soft lavender or pink with contrast trim? Just the job if you’re planning on a smart lunchtime venue.
Finally, maybe you’re going to pop the question in the evening? Go the whole hog with your best, white fitted shirt, a beautiful Atelier F+B tie and double cuffs. Hence, a great way to show off your latest Veritas cufflinks! A made-to-measure velvet tuxedo jacket would also look stunning if you’re planning a very sophisticated evening.
Our white tailored shirts can be made with double cuffs to show off your cufflinks, or with buttons of your choice.
Remember to make it a memorable day for all the right reasons. With you looking a million dollars what man or woman could say no?
