CLASSIC
Sophisticated, timeless and oh so suave, classic attire is just the ticket for a formal affair. Team a frock coat, tail coat or morning coat with a matching cummerbund and cravat in a regal shade of gold, red or purple for an opulent statement. For a sleek black tie look, slip into a sharp tuxedo teamed with a bow tie or silk necktie.

CELTIC
Embrace your heritage with a bold statement of Cornish colour. Choose from Cornovi's range of Cornish tartans, from the bold Cornish National Tartan with its colour scheme of gold, black, white, red and blue to the more muted tones of the Cornish Hunting Tartan or St Piran Dress. Go all-out with the full kilt combo or, for a subtle salute to your heritage, opt for tartan accessories such as a waistcoat, tie or braces.

CONTEMPORARY
Break the mould with a playful approach to grooms wear. Mix up your fabrics for an eclectic vibe and experiment with bold prints, quirky accessories and lots of colour, whether it's vibrant accents or a head-to-toe statement.

COASTAL
Exude easy breezy style in a palette of crisp white, clotted cream or warm beige. Strike that tricky balance between suitably smart and effortlessly laidback in a cool linen suit or tailored jacket teamed with a stripy shirt. Finish the look with ocean-inspired accessories and obligatory statement sunnies.

BUTTONED UP
