She gets to wear a customised gown that fits her perfectly like a glove, and go for facial and manicure appointments to look healthy, glowing and well-groomed, all for the sake of looking her best on her big day. But what about the groom? Shouldn&#8217;t he get a slice of that pampering since it&#8217;s <em>his <\/em>big day too and deserves to look dapper for his once-in-a-lifetime as well? Point your soon-to-be-husband in the direction of emerging businesses that cater to male grooming and fashion needs, such as TailorMeOnline and Jermyn Street, so that he can enjoy the same pampering you do in preparation for your wedding day.<\/p><div class=\"banner\"><script type=\"text\/javascript\">OA_show(5);<\/script><\/div><p><b><b>Clothes Make The Man<\/b><\/b><\/p><p>Raise your hands if you&#8217;ve ever bought an off-the-rack suit that doesn&#8217;t fit you properly in the right places.
