Top 3 Groom Trends for Fall/Winter 2025–26: The Revival of Classic Swagger
Wedding fashion for men has undergone its fair share of transformations in recent years, with trends ranging from linen suits at winter weddings to sneakers paired with tuxedos (yes, we saw you). But the Fall/Winter 2025–26 season is here to bring a refreshing shift. It’s time for men’s wedding fashion to regain its refined elegance — and bespoke men’s suits are at the heart of this revival.
This season, it’s all about a return to timeless style, where custom tailoring, luxurious fabrics, and a thoughtful approach to fit and proportion take center stage. No more gimmicks or trend-chasing — the modern groom is embracing a more sophisticated look that exudes confidence and purpose. Here are the top three trends reshaping what it means to dress for the occasion.
1. Old-School Is Back — Black Tie with a Modern Edge
The black tuxedo is a classic, but this season it’s enjoying a resurgence — and it’s looking better than ever. Think of the wider shawl lapels, structured shoulders, and trousers that flow with ease, offering a full silhouette that makes a statement. This updated take on the tuxedo nods to the golden age of Hollywood while still feeling fresh and contemporary.
After years of ultra-narrow lapels and ankle-length hems, the Fall/Winter 2025–26 season is all about drape, presence, and proportion. Bespoke men’s suits are at the forefront of this shift, allowing for the kind of meticulous tailoring that creates a more flattering and comfortable fit.
For those who like a little rebellion without stealing the spotlight, a cream dinner jacket is back in play — a subtle yet stylish choice that says, “I’m here to make an impression, but I’m not trying to upstage the bride.” Pair it with black trousers and patent leather loafers for a red-carpet-worthy look that’s refined yet effortlessly cool.
Pro tip: Keep accessories minimal. A silk bow tie, a crisp white pocket square, and a statement watch are all you need. The key is elegance, not excess.
2. The Tweed Revival — The Thomas Shelby Effect Lives On
For grooms who prefer a more rustic or country-style wedding, the tweed suit is making a major comeback. Inspired by vintage British tailoring and popularized by figures like Thomas Shelby, tweed adds a layer of rugged sophistication. It’s perfect for winter weddings in rural locations, barn venues, or anywhere with exposed beams and whiskey bars.
Today’s tweed is lighter, softer, and more refined than ever before. It still carries the timeless charm and texture that tweed is known for but with a more contemporary cut that ensures it’s just as stylish as it is comfortable. A well-tailored bespoke tweed suit will make you look like you belong in an exclusive countryside club, whether or not you actually own a distillery.
Style note: If you’re really looking to elevate your look, opt for a three-piece suit. The waistcoat adds structure and sophistication — plus, when the jacket comes off later in the evening, you’ll still look sharp.
3. Going Green — The Season’s Color Power Move
Every wedding season has its statement color, and for Fall/Winter 2025–26, green is taking the lead. From deep forest to soft sage to earthy olive, this rich hue is proving to be one of the most versatile tones for the modern groom.
A green suit makes a bold yet elegant statement that fits perfectly within the muted palette of fall and winter. The color also photographs beautifully, especially in natural light, making it an ideal choice for grooms who want a unique but timeless look.
Beyond its aesthetic appeal, green symbolizes growth, balance, and renewal — an ideal metaphor for a new life together. For grooms who are hesitant to go all-in on green, a velvet emerald dinner jacket or a rich olive tie can add just the right touch of color without feeling overwhelming.
Bonus: Whether you choose a full green suit or just a pop of color, make sure the tailoring is on point. A bespoke suit ensures the color is perfectly matched to your skin tone and the fit is impeccably sharp.
Final Take: Tailoring Always Wins
No matter which trend you choose, one thing is clear: fit is everything. Whether it’s a classic black tuxedo, a rustic tweed suit, or a bold green wedding ensemble, the craftsmanship of Bespoke men’s suits will always make the biggest impact.
Fall/Winter 2025–26 is all about reintroducing elegance with a sense of personality and confidence. These styles aren’t just about dressing for the occasion; they’re about making a statement without saying a word. The modern groom isn’t just showing up in a suit — he’s arriving in style.
In Short:
- Old-school tuxedos are back, with a fuller, bolder fit and tailored perfection.
- Tweed suits bring rustic charm, sophistication, and depth to your wedding day look.
- Green is the season’s color power move — fresh, bold, and timeless.
Because in the end, fashion may fade, but good tailoring? That’s forever.
