Your bride will be looking her best for you—shouldn’t you return the favor? A bespoke suit in the Savile Row style is the only way for an obliging groom to go. (But that’s not the best part.)
When you choose custom, you set off on an adventure to capture your own unique aesthetic, lifestyle and place in the world. It’s a creative process with a master tailor among the finest fabrics and finishing touches.
Why should your bride have all the fun?
While the Savile Row style has been timeless for 200 years, there’s always been room for self-expression. King Charles wears the style, but so does Elton John. Take a look at how grooms are making the style their own this year.
Color Pops in Bespoke Wedding Suits
Black and navy aren’t going anywhere, but jewel tones have become popular, too. Think deep emerald green, lush garnet and rich amethyst. Jewel tones light up several different skin tones and photograph beautifully. Many grooms are moving away from matching pocket squares and ties and mixing it up with unexpected colors and patterns. Even lapels are getting a make-over with contrasting fabrics.
Linings Take the Stage
Linings are coming out of the shadows in bold ways. Grooms are getting dramatic with luxury fabrics like velvet and silk. They’re getting cozy in the fall with very English tweeds. They’re even getting personal with special messages and dates.
Comfort Surfaces in Custom Wedding Suits
Ultra-slim silhouettes are still in demand, but many grooms are opting for a slightly more relaxed fit for greater comfort on The Big Day. They have enough to worry about with their future in-laws and Crazy Aunt Helen in the mix.
Custom Men’s Wedding Suits Support Sustainability
Eco-conscious grooms are opting for organic wools and responsibly sourced linens. As a bonus for going green, these fabrics offer interesting textures and dimensions.
Personalization Extends to Accessories
Personalization has gone way beyond monograms and embroidery, although these choices are still popular, too. Today’s grooms are favoring custom-made cufflinks, engraved watches and heirloom jewelry like broaches.
The Boutonniere Finally Has Its Moment
The classic white rosebud is always a safe bet, but many grooms are having more fun making a statement. They’re adding succulents, dried feathers and flowers.
Through all these trends runs a common theme. Grooms are making their own choices in every aspect of their wedding suit styling. You can, too.
