2025 Wedding Suit Trends for Men
Mens wedding fashion evolves faster year over year than any other segment of the men’s style world. According to recent surveys, nearly 40% of couples are opting for a more personalized, less traditional wedding look in 2025. And the men's wedding suit is no exception. Gone are the days when a black tuxedo was the only acceptable option. In 2025, grooms are and will continue to embrace suits that show their individuality, complement their wedding theme, and embrace the style of the times. But how do you stay ahead of the curve without getting lost in the noise?
Let’s dive into the top trends reshaping the men's wedding suit game in 2025. If you’re engaged to be married this year, these trends can bring your wedding look to the next level.
2025 Wedding Suit Colors
For years, the black or navy suit was the standard. Plain, simple and versatile for most suit-wearing jobs after the wedding day. In 2025, however, grooms are exploring a spectrum of colors. Think deep greens, rich burgundies, and the color of 2025, brown. These days, men are treating their wedding as not just “her special day”, it’s theirs too. The desire to stand out and embrace the fact that they are the center of attention on wedding day means that the less traditional colors make a lot more sense and are worn confidently.
If you’re thinking about a non-traditional suit for your wedding: Make sure the suit color complements the overall wedding palette. If you're having a rustic outdoor wedding, warmer tones like chestnut or charcoal. Not electric blue.

Wedding Suit Styles in 2025
The slim-fit suit has dominated the retail market for years. The well-tailored suit is timeless. The trend in 2025, however, calls back to a much more relaxed fit. If your Instagram algorithm shows you trendy style influencers, you’ve probably seen the phrase “old money” used a lot in reference to style trends this year. The same goes for weddings. Capitol Hill Clothiers has made more 1920’s inspired tuxedos and wide-silhouette suits for 2025 than ever before, all on request, and mostly for weddings.
What does this mean? What specific details do you need to stay “on trend”?
Lapels: Wide
Slacks: Pleated and cuffed
Silhouette: Wide but tailored (fits around the shoulders, chest, and waist, everything else is much looser)
Fabric: Drapey

Sustainable Wedding Suits in 2025
Sustainability is not just a buzzword anymore. In fact, it's one of the most important trends in wedding fashion right now. Polyester sucks. It sucks for the environment, it cheapens any garment (especially a suit or tux), and it makes you sweat more than natural materials. Wedding suits made of sustainably-sourced wool, cotton, even bamboo fabrics are a big hit in 2025 and that trend will continue beyond weddings and beyond this year.
Capitol Hill Clothiers makes a point of only offering the best fabric options. At every price point, we use sustainable materials from reputable fabric mills.

2025 Wedding Suit Accessories
You can have a simple, classic wedding suit, but the accessories are where you can really elevate the look. There is a shift toward statement accessories. Unique bow ties, exaggerated sizing, and vintage timepieces this year. The key is balance. If you’re wearing a louder suit color, keep your accessories subtle. If your suit is on the simpler side, go all out with unique accessories.

The Wedding Tuxedo - 2025 And Beyond
While suits are ever-present, don’t count out the tuxedo just yet. The wedding tuxedo is never going away. Black tie as a concept is still an aspirational vibe to most people. Bringing it back to “old money”, grooms and brides alike are embracing the opportunity to put on their own “gala” in the form of a wedding, encouraging a room full of people who absolutely must adhere to the black tie dress code.

The groom needs to stand out, though. In a room where every man is pretty much required to dress the same, grooms can stand out by choosing to deviate from tradition. Instead of a traditional black wedding tux, Capitol Hill Clothiers has made blue tuxedos, burgundy velvet dinner jackets, and even more subtle double breasted tuxedos. There is always room to differentiate yourself, it just takes the confidence and a custom wedding tuxedo that makes you feel amazing.

The Custom Wedding Suit
The long-standing stereotype is that women get to spend an exorbitant amount of money on their wedding dress, only to use it one time and hang it up for the next few decades. In my experience as a Washington, DC custom clothier, men have for a long time been relegated to renting a suit from a chain store or buying something cheap to wear to get through the wedding day and all of its photos.
Not anymore.
Especially in the DC area, grooms are standing up and choosing to invest in themselves for their weddings. Whether you wear suits for work or not, a custom suit will serve you infinitely better than something off-the-rack. You will feel better in its fit and fabric and the visual difference is astounding. Why go into your wedding day not feeling 100% on top of the world?
