Best of 2017: Groom Style

Words by Tom

The Nouba groom is no shrinking violet. From the sharpest to the chillest, the gents let their unique styles shine throughout the year that was. Continuing with our Best of series, we take a look at the ones who rocked it best in 2017.

Burgundy was big this year and we’re still loving floral prints, bow ties, braces and hats. And hats off to the grooms who mixed things up with unexpected fabrics like velvet, denim, linen… and the odd tartan kilt.

Say what you will about peak beard, we’re quietly pleased to see plenty of grooms still sporting well-manicured whiskers. Paired with a suit and stylish quiff or bare feet and a top knot, we reckon the beard still has its place in wedding day style.

These are but a handful of grooms who styled it well, but for more inspo be sure to stop by our Pinterest board.
