Deluxe Dinner Suits from F&F Clothing
As I mentioned in a previous post, I was nominated for best blogger award at the inaugural Birmingham Awards which took place last Friday at the Warwickshire Cricket Ground. I was dressed in a beautiful gown from Kaliko (which you can read about here.) My husband Pete, who was my plus one on the night was in a wonderful formal dinner suit that was sent for the occasion by those wonderful people at F&F Clothing.
Pete is quite adventurous when it comes to clothing, he will experiment with different colours and take chances on new styles. He has worn a dinner suit on a number of occasions ranging from weddings, to formal nights on-board cruise ships, and he has always gone down a traditional route, with a black tuxedo. On this occasion however, he decided to try something in a different colour and fabric, wearing a navy version, with a slim fit tuxedo.
Because this is a slim fit suit, it has a more modern feel than the traditional dinner suits, and the fabric is also luxurious, with a slight pattern. The colour and pockets have a satin black trim, making it match the bow tie and a handkerchief for the top pocket if required. Blue tuxedos have been making a regular appearance on red carpets of late, and this whole look felt very current and now, think Bradley Cooper, Matthew McConaghey and Gerard Butler for inspiration.
It was such a great night and the suit was perfect for the occasion. It was a really good fit, the jacket was size medium, and was comfortable for Pete to wear – not too tight under the arms. Teamed with the traditional bow tie and black shoes I think this was a dapper, dashing look, one that is also very reasonably priced too.
If you are looking for formal wear for any occasion this Christmas, I would definitely check out F&F Clothing.

That suit is great, I wish my other half would wear a navy or even a grey suit but it’s difficult changing his mind when it comes to formal attire! Congrats on your nomination by the way and that photo of you both together is lovely!

Thank you. I must admit I love a classic dinner jacket, but this was so lovely and a break from the norm.
