Work in progress & Video shooting - BALSAM Collection

This bespoke Tenue de Ville is a refined combination of craftsmanship, elegance, and modern style, specially designed for a summer wedding. The ensemble is made from a high-quality blend of wool, linen, and silk, with a fabric weight of 250 grams. This lightweight, breathable fabric comes from Italy, from the renowned Drago collection, and offers not only comfort but also a sophisticated look. The choice of the pink hopsack weave adds a subtle texture and an extra dimension to the design, striking a balance between casual and chic.

Jacket and Trousers: Stylish and Versatile

The jacket is designed with a classic two-button closure and notch lapels, providing a timeless look. The straight flap pockets contribute to the neat finish, while the slim fit and lightweight fabric ensure a perfect balance between comfort and style. The fabric is woven in a hopsack weave, known for its breathable and airy properties, ideal for warmer environments such as a summer wedding. Thanks to the silk blend, the fabric has a subtle, natural sheen that gives the overall look a luxurious feel without being overpowering.

This ensemble is paired with beige cotton trousers, featuring side adjusters on the waistband. This addition makes the Tenue de Ville not only suitable for the wedding day but also offers flexibility by allowing the jacket and trousers to be worn separately and combined with other garments.

Hand-Stitched Milanese Buttonhole as a Signature Detail

A standout detail of the jacket is the hand-stitched Milanese buttonhole on the lapel. This buttonhole, a symbol of craftsmanship and precision, is handmade and adds an extra layer of refinement to the overall look. The Milanese buttonhole is not only a visually appealing element but also an indicator of high-quality tailoring, elevating the garment to the next level.

The rich pink color of the jacket adds a distinctive flair to the wedding attire, making it an excellent choice for grooms seeking a unique yet stylish look. Additionally, the hopsack weave makes the jacket versatile enough to be worn separately and combined with other garments, making the Tenue de Ville suitable for more than just the wedding day.

What is Tenue de Ville?

Tenue de Ville is a classic dress code that translates to “city attire” and stands for a neat, formal yet relaxed outfit, suitable for various occasions such as weddings, receptions, and official events. This dress code usually requires a well-tailored suit or jacket with matching trousers in light or subtle colors, often complemented by accessories such as a tie or pocket square. Tenue de Ville combines a formal appearance with a light, stylish flair, without the stiffness of, for example, black-tie dress codes. It is all about a refined balance between elegance and comfort, and is often worn during the day or at formal outdoor gatherings.

Every detail in this ensemble, from the handmade buttonholes to the high-quality construction, reflects craftsmanship and attention to detail. The pink jacket and the combination of breathable fabrics ensure a comfortable experience throughout the day, without compromising on style or presentation.

The Perfect Mix of Tradition and Modernity

In conclusion, this bespoke Tenue de Ville offers not only a modern and refined look for the big day but is also a versatile garment that can be easily recombined for different occasions. It is the perfect blend of tradition and modernity, suitable for a summer setting where style and comfort are central.
