Well suited.

Along with the modern freedom to wear any colour you like to a wedding, comes the exploration of silhouettes outside the parameters of traditional formal wear.

Skirts and dresses are brushed aside for a masculine spin; with tapered trousers resting low and relaxed on the hips, shunning the accentuation that comes from dictated design, and allowing the trouser to skim naturally through the leg.

Silk slips tuck effortlessly into the low-slung waistband, suggesting an ease and barely thought about partnership, whilst only barely peeking out the top of a waistcoat that exists independent of any overall ensemble.

The mis-matched but complimentary layers of suiting, whose intention was never to become a suit, relieve the outfit of austerity, and keep the layers subtle in their pairings.

A few pinpricks of light lift the low dip of the neckline, adding a hint of feminine with a hand so slight they barely exist.

The outfit plays with a subtle boyishness, with it's tailoring that keeps it formal without subscribing to any particular lines. The silhouette beneath is not dictated to, or by, the outfit; rather, the articles skim the body by falling from the the wider points and grazing through the narrower ones.

There's a slight nod to rock, and nonchalance, with the boxier waistcoat and departure from form.

Unlike the dictatorship of traditional bodices, the silk chiffon shifts independent of the body; allowing movement to be seen and experienced, but never in the same way twice.

It grazes the skin like a fine gauze whisper, haloing the body without enveloping it, and folding into the belt-less waistband of the trousers; haphazardous, but tidy.

The silk chiffon is feminine, without becoming girlish, and is part of a layering of shapes and fabrics that marry together in a way that seems almost unlikely.

It is in stark contrast to the slight sheen of the trousers; one emitting light down its razor-sharp creases, and the other absorbing it into the matte depths of silk gauze folds.

The duo are brought together by the cotton twill waistcoat, which keeps itself from being overtly sexy or cliche with its ever so slightly oversized frame.

With a light hand, the refined, genteel nature of men's formal wear can balance out what often tends to be too many overstatements, hanging from the depths of the closet.

It isn't so much androgynous as it is ambivalent.
