Wedding Suit Trends 2025: Colours, Cuts & Customisations for Modern Grooms

Introduction

Grooms are definitely ushering in a lot of personal style and personality in 2025. The stiff tux and black & white ideals are becoming a thing of the past. This year’s trends in suits for weddings are giving men room to be expressive, comfortable, and confident while looking sharp on their big day. From fresh wedding suit colours to relaxed cuts and playful details, wedding fashion is going through a very welcome refresh.

Whether you’re saying “I do” in a coastal resort or tying the knot under fairy lights on a city rooftop, the right wedding groom suit can make all the difference. Let's get into the top looks redefining groom wedding suits this year.

Trending Wedding Suit Colour in 2025

1. Earthy Tones (Olive, Sand, and Terracotta)

Nature-inspired colours are taking over the wedding aisle. Olive green, sandy beige and terracotta orange can hold their own against traditional wedding day style. These tones pair well with outdoor backdrops and soft lighting. Grooms love them for their grounded, effortless charm. These earthier hues will be making their way into both relaxed men's suits and more tailored styles.

2. Dusty Pastels (Mauve, Powder Blue, Sage)

Dusty pastel colours are understated charm and personality. Mauve has a soft, romantic feel. Powder blue captures a cooler tone that is not overwhelming. Sage is particularly popular to wear as a suit to weddings at gardens or venues with open spaces. These tones photograph beautifully, too. They also work well for grooms who want to step away from grey without going too far out.

3. Deep Jewel Shades (Emerald, Burgundy, Navy)

If earth tones are calming and natural, jewel tones are popping and something you will notice. Emerald and burgundy are both beautiful and timeless. Navy, of course, never goes out of fashion, but it’s getting new life in 2025 with different textures like velvet and brushed wool. These are strong choices when you're after something formal with a twist.

4. Classic Black & White — With a Twist

Black and white are still very much alive. What’s changed is how they’re worn. Grooms are playing with fabric textures, like matte vs satin, or adding tone-on-tone embroidery. Even the all-white wedding groom suit has evolved, now showing up with layered off-white tones, pearl buttons, and even subtle prints.

Modern Cuts and Silhouettes

1. Relaxed Fit with Soft Shoulders

Gone are the days of stiff suits that restrict movement. The relaxed fit is now leading the way, especially in warmer climates. A jacket with soft shoulders offers structure without feeling tight. This modern take on tailoring makes sure the groom feels like himself all day long.

2. Double-Breasted Comeback

The double-breasted blazer is making a confident return. It's not the heavy, old-fashioned style you might remember. The new evolution of men's suits is likely both lighter and more balanced and a much finer cut. It allows for a more vintage vibe but with some modern clean lines.

3. Cropped Trousers and No-Break Hems

The hemline game has changed. Cropped trousers are currently very popular, particularly for beach or daytime weddings. They show off shoes and give a more playful, laid-back feel. No-break hems (just skimming the shoe) are also a neat option for those wanting a tailored finish without the extra fabric bunching.

4. Minimalist Lapels and Hidden Closures

In 2025 less is definitely more. Bulky lapels have been removed from suits for a more tailored appearance. Loud buttons are getting bypassed, and minimal lapels with minimal closure mean that the fit and fabric have become the main focus in a suit. They also give a fresh edge to the suit, especially for fashion-forward grooms.

Customisation Is King in 2025

1. Personalised Embroidery Inside the Jacket

Secret messages stitched on the inside lining are trending. Some go with wedding dates, initials, or even a short phrase that means something personal. It stays close to the heart.

2. Monogrammed Cuffs or Linings

Having initials embroidered into the cuff or linings of a wedding suit is certainly elegant, subtle and more snobbish. It's just another little and custom touch and makes the suit feel more personal to the groom.

3. Choice of Fabric, Buttons, and Stitching

Bespoke means full control. Grooms are choosing everything from tropical wools to summer-friendly linen. Every detail, including button styles, thread colour, and inner linings, is open for personal flair. This year, couples are emphasising suits that do not just augment the moment but create something extra as much as matching any wedding palette.

4. Built-In Functionality: Phone Pockets, Sweat Guards

Looks do matter, but practicality is not ignored. Tailored wedding suits can be very functional with features like built-in phone pockets, underarm sweat guards, and wrinkle-resistant fabrics. You look good and feel good too.

Groom Looks Based on Wedding Themes

Beach Wedding Suits

Beach weddings call for lighter fabrics like linen or cotton blends. Colours lean towards sand, soft blue, and white. Grooms often go sockless and sometimes even shoeless, depending on the vibe. The look is polished but breezy.

Garden or Boho-Inspired Attire

Florals, layered neutrals, and vintage touches fit beautifully with garden weddings. Grooms here often choose earth tones, soft tailoring, and textured fabrics like tweed or brushed cotton.

Black-Tie Urban Chic

For city weddings, sharp tailoring still rules. Dark colours such as navy blue or black with subtle design features stand out. Pairing with velvet blazers, glossy shoes, or a bow tie can level up the formal look without going over the top.

Traditional with a Modern Edge

You can still go traditional without losing personality. A three-piece men's suit in navy or charcoal with a personalised lining or contrast buttonholes blends old-school charm with a fresh feel.

Accessories That Elevate the Groom’s Look

Bold Pocket Squares

A unique or bold pocket square will add some flavour to your look without being too flamboyant. Think patterns, embroidery, or a colour that pops against the colour of the wedding suit.

Unique Lapel Pins and Brooches

A small detail that packs personality. Pins or brooches can reflect hobbies, culture, or even your wedding theme. More grooms are using these as a personal statement.

Loafers, Double Monks, or Barefoot (Island Weddings)

Shoes change the whole vibe. Loafers provide comfort, monk straps are more formal, and in some weddings, going barefoot is appropriate. Just depends on where you’re tying the knot.

Statement Watches or Cufflinks

Watches and cufflinks are traditional and offer a more understated way to show personality. Little touches like heirlooms, initials, or a favourite brand say a lot.

Paul Fashion Samui's Take on 2025 Groom Styling

This approach lets every groom feel confident and cool, no matter the setting.

Tips for Choosing the Right Suit for Your Wedding

Start at Least 2 Months Before

Tailored suits take time. Start early to avoid stress. This gives space for fittings, changes, and maybe even a rethink or two.

Choose Comfort as Much as Style

The day is long. Choose fabrics and fits that let you move, sit, and dance without fuss. Don’t settle for looks alone.

Think About Climate and Venue

Hot venue? Go with breathable fabric. Cold night? Add a vest or heavier jacket. Your wedding suit should suit the setting just as much as it suits you.

Always Prioritise Fit Over Brand

A great fit beats a big name. A less expensive suit that hugs the body right will always look better than a poorly fitted designer one.

Conclusion

This year, the spotlight is firmly on the groom. Style is no longer about just showing up in a tux. It’s about celebrating your story through fit, fabric, and flair. There’s room to play, customise, and truly own your wedding suit. Let your suit reflect who you are; after all, it's your moment too.
