Olive & Stone – The Confident Classic

Styled by Astares Menswear

🟩 The Look

This outfit blends texture, contrast, and tone to create a powerful look for modern grooms and stylish guests. Built around the Bromley olive green check suit, the addition of a crisp stone waistcoat and soft champagne accents gives it that styled-to-impress edge.

We’ve paired it with a silk tie in a matching olive tone, a paisley pocket square that subtly lifts the palette, and finished it with a pair of black leather derby shoes for sharp, timeless footing.

🎯 Where It Works Best

This look is perfect for:

• Grooms wanting something confident but not loud

• Summer or autumn weddings

• Stylish race day outfits

• Coordinated groom/groomsman groups with flexibility for variation

  💬 Style Notes from Jez

  “This is the kind of look I recommend when someone wants to feel sharp, confident, and totally put together — but still look relaxed and real. The olive check has character, the stone breaks it up cleanly, and everything else just elevates it further.”
