Ultimate style guide 2025

1. Timeless and traditional

“This is Bond, James Bond.” If you’re drawn to a timeless, traditional look, a well-fitted tuxedo never goes out of style. Clean lines, sharp tailoring, and that unmistakable black-and-white polish—it’s a classic for a reason.

A well-fitted tuxedo also embodies sophistication, ideal for formal or black-tie weddings. This style exudes refinement and ensures that wedding photos remain effortlessly elegant for years to come. Whether opting for a sleek, modern cut or a more traditional fit, this look is a testament to the enduring appeal of classic menswear.

2. Monochromatic

Mastering the monochromatic look can be a little tough. It’s about sleek sophistication and modern minimalism. This trend embraces one colour palette from head to toe, creating a streamlined, effortlessly stylish appeal. 

Have fun with this trend by playing with different textures—such as a matte suit with a silk tie or a velvet jacket with wool trousers. This keeps the look dynamic while maintaining its polished appeal. Perfect for the groom who wants a bold yet timeless statement, this trend proves that sometimes, less is more.

Match the venue: an all-white destination or beachside wedding? It just makes sense, doesn’t it?

3. Individuality

It’s a look that speaks to all the groomsmen’s individual style. This trend is redefining personal expression. Whether you’re choosing to vary suit shadows within the same colour family, have different tie choices, or go so bold as to mix different patterns and textures, this trend creates a dynamic, visually interesting look. It’s perfect for couples who want their wedding party to feel confident and comfortable while maintaining a cohesive vibe. By allowing each groomsman to stand out in their own way, this trend adds personality and a modern twist to traditional wedding attire.

4. Rich and earthy tones

It’s time to play around with shades like deep olives, warm terracotta, or rich chocolate. This creates a sophisticated yet grounded aesthetic. What’s it good for? Ideal to achieve a rustic, bohemian look well suited to an outdoor wedding. These colours add character and a modern edge while still feeling timeless.

You can also play with materials. Paired with textured fabrics like linen, wool, or velvet and complemented by neutral or gold-toned accessories, this look exudes effortless charm. Ideal for couples looking to break away from traditional black and navy, earthy hues offer a stylish and memorable twist for 2025 weddings.

5. Soft whites and ivory

Fresh, spring, romantic. Opting for shades of ivory, cream, or an off-white will give a modern aesthetic perfect for the warmer months. 

A well-tailored ivory suit or a crisp white dinner jacket paired with neutral or pastel accessories adds depth and dimension without overpowering the overall style. Soft whites and ivory offer the fashion-forward groom a timeless yet contemporary choice.

6. Subtle pattern

Edgier grooms looking for a rock ’n’ roll style might be best to look at a subtle pattern. This is a hint of personality without overpowering the whole look, or the bride. These understated patterns bring depth and dimension to classic suits, from pinstripes to soft florals or textured jacquard.

This trend is perfect for grooms who want to elevate their style while keeping things polished and sophisticated.

7. Retro and vintage vibes

Old-school charm with a dapper edge. Going all the way back to the Prohibition Era, we’re drawing inspiration from the classic ’20s and ’30s, with pinstripe suits, wide lapels and even a pocket watch. 

This trend is perfect for grooms who want to make a statement with a sophisticated yet edgy style, blending timeless elegance with a rebellious flair.
