Color worlds: Deep tones, velvety nuances, and bold highlights
This season's color palette is rich, earthy, and elegant. While black remains a classic, nuanced colors are coming to the fore, giving the groom more expressiveness:
-
Dark blue & midnight blue – convey a sense of seriousness, festivity, and timelessness. Particularly elegant when combined with a silky lining or gold accents.
-
Bordeaux & wine red – add warmth and depth to the look. These colors work wonderfully for winter weddings with candlelight and festive surroundings.
-
Fir green & moss green – these are the insider tips of the season. They look modern yet natural, perfect for rustic or elegant country weddings.
-
Anthracite & slate gray – minimalist, masculine, and versatile – for urban and industrial locations.
-
Nougat, chestnut, and cognac —warm brown tones are making a comeback. Ideal for vintage weddings and grooms with a keen sense of style.
For daring grooms, two-tone fabrics, melange fabrics, or colored inner linings are ideal as highlights.
Cuts: Timeless with modern lines
A modern tailor-made suit for the groom does not follow rigid fashion trends, but adapts to the figure, style, and occasion. The following trends are emerging for the 25/26 season:
-
Slim fit remains, but less extreme: slightly tailored jackets with freedom of movement and slim-fit pants with moderate leg width dominate.
-
Jacket lengths are becoming more individual: whether classic, slightly cropped, or extended—the perfect length is tailored to your body proportions.
-
Three-piece suits are in vogue: a well-cut vest adds depth and structure, especially when chosen in a contrasting fabric or pattern.
-
Stand-up collars & shawl collars: A stylish alternative to lapels – particularly suitable for festive or culturally inspired weddings.
-
Single-breasted or double-breasted? The classic single-breasted jacket is versatile, while the double-breasted jacket makes a bigger statement—perfect for confident appearances.
Design & fabrics: structure, character, and personality
The trend is moving toward materials with character:
-
Flannel, twill, and herringbone have a warm and textured feel—ideal for fall and winter.
-
Wool fabrics with cashmere content offer a luxurious feel and maximum comfort.
-
Micro patterns, subtle woven checks, or classic glen check create visual depth—especially on vests and coats.
Another trend: custom-made wedding coats that match the color of the suit. Whether Chesterfield, Ulster, or raglan coat—fine fabrics such as loden, cashmere, or camel hair ensure a stylish appearance even in cool weather.
Shoes: The elegant finishing touch
The choice of shoes is more than just a detail—it determines the harmony of the entire look. Currently trending are:
-
Classic Oxford shoes in black or dark brown—they remain the first choice for elegant weddings.
-
Brogues or monk straps add a fashionable touch—especially in dark red shades such as burgundy.
-
For autumn outdoor weddings: welted ankle boots or chukka boots made of suede leather.
-
Particularly stylish: shoes with color-coordinated belts and fine details such as engraved or monogrammed leather soles.
It is important to remember that shoes should not only match the color of the suit, but also the location—and, above all, they should be well broken in.
Conclusion: Individuality as a stylistic principle
The wedding trends for grooms in fall/winter 2025/2026 show that elegance does not mean uniformity. A tailor-made wedding suit, combined with a perfectly fitting tailor-made shirt, stylish shoes, and an elegant tailor-made coat, not only creates a fashionable overall look—it also creates a lasting experience. Those who dare to show their colors and rely on genuine craftsmanship will make their big day visually unforgettable.
