FOR THE BOYS

For the better part of a century, men’s fashion in Bermuda seems to have followed the old adage, “If it isn’t broke, don’t fix it.” Dress shirt, necktie, blazer, knee-length socks, loafers, and, of course, the iconic Bermuda shorts have long made up an ensemble that’s both comfortable and practical and appropriate for the boardroom, happy hour with friends, and yes, even weddings. Add Bermudian flair to your groom and groomsmen’s wedding-day look and wedding party gifts with advice from island clothiers and retailers on the latest trends.

While you want to look good on your wedding day, you want to feel good, too. Bermuda is a semitropical island with a mild climate. Dress accordingly so you can celebrate your nuptials in style and comfort.

Bermuda-motif jewellery make excellent gifts for groomsmen in the form of tie tacks, lapel pins, and cuff links. Most popular are the Bermuda kite tie tacks, scooter cuff links, dinghy lapel pins, and tree frogs in all forms.
