If you have an invitation to a summer wedding or you’re planning your own nuptials, shopping for your outfit starts here at Atom Retro's Wedding Shop.

Wedding fashion is no longer the exclusive realm of the bride, these days grooms-to-be are just as keen to look and feel good on their big day. Forget hiring an ill-fitting suit, we no longer expect to see the male wedding party in standard back tuxes. Modern grooms and their groomsmen can find outfits that express their individuality, complement the bride, and fit the theme or colour scheme of the wedding.

We have a great range of vintage, retro and Mod womenswear and menswear from brands such as Gibson London, Ben Sherman and Collectif.

A preview of Fever London's Autumn and Winter collection. Travels, architecture and youth nostalgia are central themes this season, and as always, Fever brings a little vintage sparkle to classic, timeless styles and shapes. Workwear, Christmas party occasion wear and retro casual are all catered for in Fever's new collection.

Pictured left is a real 60s inspired piece - the Lewes Twin Set top and shirt in striking Mod inspired black and white stripes and checks which are almost op-art. This style was inspired by a vintage piece found in a vintage market in Lewes, England. It will be available as a separate top and skirt, but you have to have both, right?!
