Not only are we giving you the opportunity to transform from traditional groom to center of attention with our shirts, we’re also maximizing your number of looks with our reversible accessories! Below we’ve outlined our top reasons to consider going reversible for your big day.

1. Traveling Light- If your wedding is not taking place where you currently live, the idea of lugging around anything extra sounds like the furthest thing from an ideal wedding weekend. With reversible accessories you can create the same number of looks and take up 1/2 the space in your luggage.

2. The Quick Change- You’re already being pulled in a million directions on your wedding day. Don’t waste more time by doing a full change, just flip your accessories and you have a whole new vibe.

3. Avoid Wearing The Same Accessories As Your Guests- There's nothing worse than being “the man of the hour” and looking out on a crowd of guests wearing the same shirt, accessories, suit, etc. as you. By choosing our custom reversible accessories you’re guaranteed to stand out and have a unique look that is all your own.

4. Fashion Envy- Of course you’ll be getting tons of compliments and envious glances from your friends and family who haven’t been introduced to the wonderful world of multi-functional luxury. They’ll be wondering how you continuously manage to buy knock-out fashion items, without even realizing it’s the same piece.

5. Eco-Friendly- Buying one piece that can be worn in lots of different ways is also great for the environment! The Environmental Justice Foundation cited that it takes 2,700 liters of water to make just one t-shirt. That’s a lot of water! So why not help save the planet by starting with our reversible accessories?

6. Best Value- It goes without saying, but having one item that completely transforms into a second look provides great value. Due to the nature of reversible accessories (they need to be able to be worn inside out) they are made with the highest quality materials. So you can be sure that you are getting the best quality, functionality and value for your money.

Convinced? Start building your I DEUX here and choose a reversible accessory option to complete your look!

We were recently asked in an interview to “describe the I DEUX guy” and it really got us thinking. Who is an I DEUX groom? What does he want? What does he value? Of course no two clients are alike but here are our thoughts on the qualities they possess that make them similar.

1) The I DEUX groom is unique, confident and modern.

2) He's a leader not a follower and that makes him unafraid to be bold, make a statement and set the trend.

3) He appreciates quality and fit and is underwhelmed by the choices traditional men's wedding attire has presented in the past.

4) Lastly, and possibly most importantly, our clients are worldly, hailing from numerous countries and each desiring for something a little different than the next.

Because we are creating a truly custom fit and look, our I DEUX grooms come in many shapes and sizes, giving us the opportunity to celebrate a spectrum of masculinity across age, outlook, identity, race and body type. Our clients inspire us and we hope that our elevated level of selection, quality and service in turn inspires them to break free of the “one-size-fits-all” mold. Be a role model— become an I DEUX groom today!

The process of getting extra creative and selecting your own print pattern is one that we love and just recently experienced with groom Jeffrey Marsh. He came to us with an idea in mind about color and overall aesthetic and together we found the perfect print for his big day. Because we print digitally we can just about print anything your heart desires- barring from things that are vulgar, derogatory, deceptive or may infringe upon any license or trademark of course! Jeff and fiancé Jess went to shutterstock.com and found just what they were looking for!

School is back in session, temperatures are starting to cool and we’re right on time AND trend to release our Fall/Winter collection! Below is a sneak peak of the print patterns for our second collection set to be released later this month!

Wild Indigo

This print pattern is the perfect choice for couples looking to incorporate the dark & edgy color palette trend into their wedding. It’s rich saturation, can be paired with numerous accent colors, and deviates away from the classic fall option, burgundy.

Invite in the autumn season with a pop of burgundy. A more playful take on the season’s color, this print pattern could aid in making your event feel fresh and vibrant OR dramatic and a little moody.

Silver Rose

While modern and edgy wedding trends are certainly on the rise, there are plenty of couples who want to bring back the traditional. This minimal print pattern is the perfect play on the classics.

Dusty Gardenia

The key to the neutral trend is a simple color palette with two or three colors and clean lines. This print pattern uses florals that have more architectural shapes perfectly complimenting any pop of color you might want to add to the day.

Winter Bouquet

A unique take on the traditional fall/winter color scheme, this print pattern is still warm and inviting, not to mention extremely complimentary.

Autumn Poppy

The perfect print pattern for a classically styled fall/winter wedding. Rich blue favors gold and silver, looking sophisticated and elegant.

Desert Blossoms

One of the most popular colors out there for fall undoubtedly, marigold cues those cozy, sentimental feelings of the season. We love this print pattern for a rustic fall theme!

As a company who prides itself on finding ways for you to stand out - we got to brainstorming and landed on the thought that in a room full of men in black tuxes, khaki two-pieces or navy blazers, the one who gets noticed is he who wears the coolest shoes! Organized by the suits they complement we’ve put together a list of shoes bound to elicit covetous glances from men and women alike!

Tuxedo:

When the invitation says “black tie,” opportunities for expression are scarce.

Option 1: The Black Leather Wholecut

If you’re going the traditional route, aim for clean and minimal by swapping out your workday cap-toes for a pair of wholecut oxfords (meaning: they’re culled from a single piece of leather).

Option 2: The Black Velvet Slipper

Feeling a little saucy? Get your Hefner on in a pair of embroidered evening slippers!

Navy Suit:

If a man owns one suit, there’s a good chance it’s navy. Which is why non-black-tie weddings tend to be veritable navy-suit summits.

Option 1: The Light Brown Brogue

In a sea of brown shoes, details count. Find a brogue with ornate detailing and stark, rich honey tones.

Option 2: The Dark Brown Double Monk

Prefer a darker brown? Consider overcompensating for a conservative hue with some texture.

Khaki Suit:

A summer wedding standby that’s great for staying cool but middling on the creativity front. Showing some ankle and pairing with an uber-jaunty kick will take care of that.

Option 1: The Brown Horsebit Loafer

This recognizable style has a certain cache that screams rich. It’s an effortless and versatile shoe with the character of Italian style.

Option 2: The White Sneaker

Consider this a (slightly) more grown-up version of that whole tux-and-Converse thing, which has been done to death and is frankly a bit gauche. Do mind the red wine, though.

Grey Suit:

Grey is the chameleon of suiting colors: depending on the hue (we suggest veering lighter), it’ll pair with just about any color and style of dress shoe a man can own.

Option 1: The Black Penny Loafer

Clean-cut and classic. Just make the sure the man in them matches suit — literally and figuratively.

Option 2: The Oxblood Tassel Loafer

When the answer to “Brown or black?” is “either,” as is the case here, that means there is also a third option in play: oxblood.

Linen Suit:

Headed to a destination wedding? Leave the wools and cotton-blends at home, and reach instead for sun-friendly linen in an appropriately pastel tone.

Option 1: The Brown Tassel Loafer

Most penny and tassel loafers are too stuffy for the tropics. Go moccasin-style with your loafer with a soft sheepskin lining and breezy low cut, painting you as a man decidedly put-together.

Option 2: The Woven Moccasin

The sand will run through them like a sieve.

It’s two weeks till the big day- RSVPs are in, all of the big decisions are final…you’re smooth sailing! Then you remember the gift exchange you told your fiancé you’d love to do with them the day of the wedding! Your mind is blank. Luckily we’ve compiled the following list of gift ideas to help you find the perfect gift!

1. Jewelry- A bit of sparkle is never a copout and always appreciated!
2. A message on the bottom of their shoes- Warning: If your fiancé bought Manolo Blahnik’s, Louboutin’s, or another pair of fabulous designer shoes this may not go over well.
3. Little gifts throughout the day- Have Starbucks delivered to them in the morning, send her/him flowers, have her/his wedding party randomly supply them with candy, send sweet texts, provide with a tequila shot before the ceremony, etc!
4. Anything personalized with your wedding date- Hint: Etsy is your best friend for this.
5. Hidden stitches- Stitch something sweet on the inside of her dress or the back of his necktie without ruining the outfit reveal! Hint: may require a friend or family member’s help!
6. Video messages from loved ones- Come up with the list of people who mean the world to your fiancé and think of a few questions you can ask each of them and compile into a sweet video.
7. A new signature scent- Buy them a fresh bottle of perfume or cologne. The smell will always remind them of the day they married you!
8. Hand-written letters- One of the easiest gifts that often turns out to be the best. Save some money and simply let your fiancé know why you love them so much, can’t wait to spend the rest of your life with them, and more.
9. Creative art- It could be their favorite print, something that’ll fit perfectly in your new home, or even a custom-made piece. Hint: AGAIN…Etsy!
10. Sports gear- What about their favorite team jersey with their new last name?
11. Liquor + engraved glasses- A little liquid courage never hurt anyone! Buy them their favorite booze and a few personalized glasses to go with it to commemorate the day.
12. Choreographed dance- Want to go viral? Gather your groomsmen or bridesmaids and choreograph a dance. Use music the two of you love!
13. “Open when…” letters- Write a collection of letters that your spouse will open at special moments throughout your marriage.
14. Items for the Honeymoon- Give them something practical for the honeymoon. Maybe traveling gear or a camera to capture all those precious moments.
15. Relaxing spa treatment- Amidst all the craziness of the wedding day, there’s hardly any time to relax. What better wedding day treat than a surprise spa treatment?

Happy shopping!

The base color of your I DEUX applies to the front, outer collar and outer cuffs. These areas can all be a single color or you can opt to have contrasting collar and cuffs. Of course you can go with your standard white or black, but with recent trends pointing towards colored bases why not submit a custom color to make your look truly unique? Below we outline some easy ways and inspiration to incorporate the trend.

Blue- Blue is one of the best shades you should go for when choosing dress shirts. Firstly, it’s a change from classic white, but it is still conservative and formal. Blue is also great to give you a deeper tan complexion and warms up your clothing palettes subtly. Powder blue in particular works incredibly well with different colors and patterns. Pale blue also tends to complement a range of skin tones and hair colors, making it an alluring shirt staple. Dependent on shade, blues can easily compliment grey, tan and navy suits alike!

Pink- Powder pinks can be a refreshing change to the monotony of staple shirt colors. This tone can also bring a bit more color to standard suits. We suggest opting for softer tones to complement accompanying navy, grey and tan blazers. The trick to pairing appropriate print patterns with pink is to work with both contrasting and similar colors. A deep purple or violet based print pattern will pick up the tones of pink, and deeper navies will add depth to this pastel tone. Most people don’t associate the color pink with masculinity and so if you choose this color, you will definitely make a statement.

Jewel Tones- Bold and vibrant colors like ruby red, turquoise and deep blue can be great choices for a base color as well. These richer tones have graced many a red carpet with a sharp black suit making a luxurious statement.

Pastels- While white and blue built the foundation of any gentleman’s dress shirt closet, pastel colors can really help to add a note of individuality to your outfits without being over the top. For example, you can go with a very pale yellow, a pale green, or a pale lavender that you find within your chosen print pattern. These subtle hues can also be worn with much more casual combinations such as a sport coat or a tweed coat where a white dress shirt would be too stark and would provide too much contrast.

While the big female designers are getting ready to show their collections this September for Spring/Summer 2020, the majority of menswear shows just happened in June/July. From NYC to London, Milan and Paris- the runways buzzed with satin overcoats, 90s inspired tie-dye and short shorts. Below are some of the trends we’re excited about and eager to help you incorporate into your 2020 wedding day look!

1) Satin

The ultra-close weave of satin helps it achieve that glossy, liquid surface it’s best known for. A favourite of womenswear designers back in the 50s, for SS2020 the menswear contingent has given the fabric a fresh new look. Designers like 8on8, Charles Jeffrey, Saint Laurent and Zegna incorporated the trend on their runways. Part of going super custom means being able to change the fabric so if this trend is calling to you let's include it in your I DEUX!

2) Bowling Shirts

Silky, boxy and complete with spread camp collars, this season’s billowing, short-sleeved bowling shirts were everywhere on London’s runways. The best could be found at Edward Crutchley, where they were ultra-louche and worn open, and at Dsquared2 and Dolce & Gabbana, where the look was similar. While we’re not necessarily suggesting you wear a bowling shirt for your wedding, the loud prints seen on the runways and often associated with the look are certainly achievable with your I DEUX print pattern.

3) Oversized Oxford shirts

The return of preppy dressing has been on the cards for some time now, but for Spring/Summer 2020 the trend reaches full tilt. From the return of boat shoes and penny loafers to the proliferation of varsity blazers and rugby shirts, it was the oversized, panelled Oxford shirts shown at Prada, Chalayan and Liam Hodges that provided the most creative take on the trend we’ve seen thus far. For SS2020 it appeared the bigger you wear it the better and while we typically aim to get that nice clean custom fit, if you want to embrace this trend we’re all in!

4) Stripes

Stripes are the wardrobe must-haves and one of the easiest patterns to pull off. So it’s hardly surprising that stripes aren’t going anywhere. In addition, pinstripe suits made a comeback after suiting made a welcome return to the world’s runways last summer. Once favoured by bankers and businessmen, for SS20 the fabric feels contemporary and chic at Dolce & Gabbana, Emporio Armani and Chalayan. While a pinstripe suit might be a bit much for your wedding day look, incorporating the trend into your I DEUX for the party could be a fun way to wear the runway.

5) Double breasted tailoring

The new trend towards extreme double-breasted tailoring has reinvented the unique statement piece with new fabrics either making them super fitted or straight cut. We saw plenty of excess fabric wrapped around the body like a shroud in classic form at HLA x AEX and in more restrictive styles at Dsquared 2 and Ralph Lauren. In Paris, Dunhill, Balmain, Dior and Dries Van Noten all showed a take on the extra-double breasted trend, and the look felt both chic and neat. While we dont make suits yet (keyword yet) we’re excited to help you pick your design specs to go with your choice of a double breasted suit for your wedding!

6) Autumnal hues (for spring)

Traditionally speaking, the spring/summer season calls for soft, summery hues of mauve and primrose, millennial pink and mint. Now, however, for SS2020, it’s all about moody, rusty, altogether more autumnal shades of bronze, maroon, copper and burgundy. With our next collection dropping soon (get excited) we’re happy to report were right on trend to help you incorporate these hues into your look!

7) Jungle Inspired Prints

It is definitely a jungle out there when it comes to prints offered for this season. A colourful mix of flora and fauna has been seen gracing the runways. Animal print made a surprise return to the runways last season and now, for SS2020, animal print is set to pounce back into your wardrobe whether you like it or not. From the silk tiger-stripe camp collar shirts at Dsquared2 to the leopard-print extravaganza at Dolce & Gabbana and the ombre ocelot sweatshirts at MSGM – if you don’t already own some animal print, it’s time to invest right now. We might not have an animal print in our current or upcoming collection but we’re more than happy to help you find the perfect print to reflect your inner animal via our print consultation.

8) Tie-Dye

There was a general move toward punky, homespun, messed with fashion at the menswear shows this season. But not like 60’s tie-dye T-Shirts, it’s the evolution of tie-dye that makes it feel fresh for 2019. Leading the charge was Sterling Ruby, whose inaugural collection featured a host of bleach-splattered denim jackets and overdyed two pieces. But other designers like Versace and Dior embraced the look as well. Again we don’t have tie-dye in our current or upcoming collections but we’re eager to find this trending print pattern for the perfect groom!
