Gentleman Wedding Suits & Custom Suits
At Gentleman Zone, we know that the world of wedding fashion is evolving rapidly, and wedding suits are no longer just a simple afterthought for grooms.
The trend toward personalization, quality craftsmanship, and unique style choices has transformed the way men approach their wedding day look. From classic designs to bold, modern twists, wedding suits and custom suits are all about making a statement. Let’s dive into the top trends that shape the wedding suit scene for 2025.
Suit Customization
Gentleman suits are more personal than ever before!
Previously, the focus was mainly on the bride and a lot of time was spent on the wedding dress. But nowadays, the groom can also put extra effort into his bridal look. And rightly so, because it is also his special day.
The groom does not have to take a standard suit from the closet, but he can also have a suit made exactly to his wishes. We see a trend that ever more men opt for custom-made wedding suits. This is not only a beautiful personal experience where you have something made with a lot of (emotional) value, it also ensures that you look your best as a groom.
A custom-made suit gives you the opportunity to choose between the fabric, lining, buttons, stitching, fit and unique details. So exactly the style that the groom wants instead of a ready-made suit that everyone has.
Such level of detail allows the groom to give a personal touch to his wedding day look. With a custom-made suit, a specific taste and style can be chosen.
With classic fabrics such as wool or cashmere you opt for chic and traditional, but luxurious velvet creates a modern and playful look.
Slim & Tailored Fits
Welcome to the continued rise of the modern silhouette!
Boxy suits are here to stay, a term for a particular fit where suits have large square shoulders and are loosely fitted around the torso. But the trend towards slim suits with precisely tailored cuts continues to dominate.
For example, we see more of the modern grooms leaning towards comfortable suits with sharp, clean lines that accentuate the figure.
Slim-fit suits accentuate the shoulders and taper at the waist, creating a sleek, chic and refined look. For this year, the tailored fit is not just about being slim, but also about ensuring that each suit is cut specifically for the wearer’s body, giving them a flattering, confident look.
For those who prefer even more shape, the bespoke option is recommended, where the suit is made from scratch. This is based on the groom’s exact measurements. Tailor-made suits offer an unparalleled level of comfort as they are designed to fit the wearer perfectly, making them a great choice for a day that requires a lot of movement and standing.
Bold Colors & Fabrics
Step away from traditional tuxedos!
We love classic timeless tuxedos in black or navy blue, this has a lot of class and makes a man even more charming. But nowadays with tailor-made suits you can also opt for bold colors and fabrics. If you want something unique and want to stand out more, 2025 offers many options.
- Emerald green and burgundy: Rich jewel tones such as emerald green and burgundy are quickly becoming more popular than the traditional black or navy blue. These colors offer sophistication with a contemporary twist. You don’t wear such a suit often at other weddings or occasions, this makes you as a groom unique and striking. These colors are very nice with different wedding themes especially if it is an outdoor wedding in the fall and fit beautifully with different wedding themes, especially when compared to outdoor or fall weddings.
- Patterns: Subtle motives like houndstooth, checks, and even florals become ever more common for wedding suits. Grooms add texture and interest to their looks with fabrics that feature light patterns or weaves. These add depth to a suit without overwhelming, and offer a contemporary yet sophisticated look.
- Velvet and satin: Luxurious fabrics like velvet and satin become increasingly popular for weddings. Their beautiful texture and sheen elevate the entire look and are especially suitable for winter or evening weddings. Velvet suits in deep colors like navy or charcoal create an elegant vibe that still feels fresh and modern.
Eco-Friendly Wedding Suits
Of course, sustainability becomes increasingly important, including the fashion industry, thus sustainable options are increasingly popular.
More and more grooms choose eco-friendly options when on the hunt for a wedding suit. Think of organic materials first, but also the long-term investment of a good quality suit. A good suit with high quality ensures that your looks leave a long lasting impression. This is much better than buying a new one unnecessarily often.
Many brands now offer suits made from recycled or organic fabrics such as wool or hemp.
Custom tailors also offer options for reusing and upcycling materials, so that your wedding suit has a minimal impact on the environment. Eco-conscious grooms not only look for sustainable materials, they invest in quality that will last beyond the wedding day, so that you can reuse or repurpose a suit for other occasions.
Double-Breasted Suits
When classic meets modern!
Classic is timeless and modern is unique. But you don’t have to choose between classic and modern. You can mix it up with a touch.
The double-breasted suit, once considered old-fashioned, has become popular again among grooms looking for something different.
For this year, the double-breasted wedding suit is modernized with slimmer cuts and more relaxed fits, making it a versatile option for a wide range of wedding themes.
Grooms can opt for traditional navy or charcoal versions of the double-breasted suit, or take a bolder approach with modern fabrics or patterns. When styled correctly, a double-breasted suit exudes sophistication to add a touch of grandeur for your occasion.
Suit Accessories
Add finishing touches!
The right accessories elevate a wedding suit, and grooms should not skim on details! From pocket squares to cufflinks, these small touches become an essential part of the wedding day look.
Here are a few accessory trends to keep an eye on:
- Statement Shoes: Instead of the traditional black dress shoes, grooms should opt for statement footwear. Think patterned or colored shoes, loafers, or even high-end sneakers for a more casual, contemporary vibe.
- Ties and Bow Ties: While traditional silk ties and bow ties remain popular, grooms should now experiment with textures and colors. Velvet ties and patterned bow ties add personality to the wedding suit, and some are even choosing to go without a tie for a more relaxed look.
- Custom Lapel Pins and Boutonnieres: Personalizing the lapel with a custom pin or boutonniere adds a meaningful touch. This is a great accessory to bring in colors from the wedding theme or showcase a personal symbol, like a family crest or a favorite flower.
Comfort, Styles & Stretch Fabrics
You don’t just want to stand still and be handsome, you also want to dance on your big day, move around and be comfortable.
While style is important, comfort is also a priority for many grooms. The focus now is on creating wedding suits that look and feel good. Many modern wedding suits are made from stretch fabrics that move with the body and provide all-day comfort. This is especially true for grooms who plan on dancing the night away or spending long hours on their feet.
Additionally, many grooms are opting for more relaxed styles, such as unstructured jackets or softer cuts. These suits offer a more relaxed, modern aesthetic without sacrificing style, making them perfect for outdoor or destination weddings.
A Wedding Suit That Reflects You
The trends in wedding suits for 2025 show that the modern groom is more focused than ever on creating a personalized, stylish, and comfortable wedding look. Whether opting for a custom-made suit, choosing a bold color or pattern, or adding a unique accessory, the wedding suit has become a reflection of the groom’s individual style. With so many options available, there’s never been a better time for grooms to express themselves and make a statement on their big day.
