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.

3. Individuality

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.

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