Kai Widdrington Green Dinner Suit
We believe that every garment tells a story, and some occasions demand a suit that’s truly unforgettable. Professional dancer and television personality Kai Widdrington visited us to create just that—a bespoke green velvet dinner suit for his appearance at the prestigious Pride of Britain Awards. The result was a statement piece that perfectly balanced sophistication, luxury, and individuality.

A Suit Fit for the Pride of Britain
The Pride of Britain Awards is one of the most significant events on the social calendar, honouring extraordinary achievements and inspiring stories. For an evening of such magnitude, Kai needed a suit that would stand out and reflect the grandeur of the occasion. Velvet was the natural choice, offering a rich texture and a touch of opulence.
The deep green hue of the suit was both bold and refined, striking the perfect balance between classic and contemporary. Green is a colour that exudes confidence and elegance, and when paired with the soft sheen of velvet, it created a look that was both eye-catching and timeless.
Why Velvet Is the Ultimate Statement Fabric
Velvet is a fabric synonymous with luxury. Its plush texture and subtle shine make it an exceptional choice for eveningwear, particularly for formal events like the Pride of Britain Awards. At McCann Bespoke, we often recommend velvet to clients who want to make a statement while maintaining an air of sophistication.
Kai’s green velvet dinner suit featured a single-breasted design with classic tailoring details, ensuring the fit was sharp and flattering. A matching velvet bow tie completed the look, elevating the suit to black-tie perfection. Velvet also photographs beautifully, making it an ideal choice for high-profile events and red-carpet appearances.
The Bespoke Touch: Why Kai Chose McCann Bespoke
Like many of our clients, Kai Widdrington values the expertise and attention to detail that come with bespoke tailoring. For an event as prestigious as the Pride of Britain Awards, off-the-rack simply wouldn’t do. At McCann Bespoke, we worked closely with Kai to bring his vision to life, from selecting the perfect shade of green to ensuring the fit was flawless.
Our bespoke process is designed to deliver not just a garment, but an experience. Every suit we create is tailored to the individual, combining their personal style with our expertise in craftsmanship. For Kai, his green velvet dinner suit was a reflection of his vibrant personality and his commitment to excellence—both on and off the stage.
Velvet Dinner Suits: A Modern Classic
While velvet has a long history in menswear, its resurgence in recent years has made it a modern classic. A velvet dinner suit offers versatility, working beautifully for a range of formal occasions, from galas to weddings. Its luxurious texture and depth of colour set it apart from traditional fabrics like wool or satin, ensuring the wearer always makes an impression.
Green, in particular, is a bold yet sophisticated choice that complements a variety of skin tones and pairs effortlessly with black or gold accessories. For those looking to elevate their eveningwear, a velvet dinner suit is a must-have addition to any wardrobe.
