Groomswear Trends for 2025
Embracing Individualism & Sophistication
Modern grooms are stepping away from rigid traditions, favouring a personalized and sophisticated aesthetic. This means custom-tailored suits, unique accessories, and statement pieces that reflect personal style. Coordinated sets of ties, bow ties, and pocket squares ensure a polished and cohesive look.
Modern Suits & Textured Fabrics
Expect to see luxurious textured fabrics like herringbone, velvet, and tweed making waves in 2025. These fabrics add depth and personality while maintaining an elegant appearance. Pairing them with a matching bow tie and pocket square elevates the look even further.

Coloured Ensembles & Patterned Waistcoats
Neutral suits are giving way to bold colours and patterned waistcoats. Shades like deep blue, forest green, and rich burgundy are making an impact, while patterned vests add a layer of visual interest. A well-matched tie and pocket square set can complement these choices and ensure a stylish, put-together look.

Timeless Elegance: Tuxedos & Black Tie Trends
Classic tuxedos remain a wedding staple, but 2025 brings a fresh twist with midnight blue and forest green tuxedos. Velvet bow ties and pocket squares in matching or contrasting tones add a refined touch to these elegant ensembles.

Vibrant Colours & Retro Vibes
Weddings in 2025 will see a surge of bold and bright colours inspired by retro aesthetics. Expect colour-blocked outfits and eccentric combinations featuring shades like Sun Orange, Fiesta Red, and Crocus. A well-chosen tie or pocket square in a striking hue can serve as the perfect accent piece.

Pantone’s Top Colours for Spring/Summer 2025
Pantone has released a stunning colour palette for the upcoming wedding season, Floral Pathways. Trending shades include Tendril, Cornflower Blue, Viola, Rose Tan, Cobblestone, and Mocha Mousse. These colours can be incorporated into ties, pocket squares, and other accessories to create stylish and contemporary wedding looks.
Here are a few suggestions of accessories that would fit well with the Floral Pathways theme:
What to Wear as a Wedding Guest
Wedding guests in 2025 have more freedom to express themselves while still respecting the occasion.
-
Opt for a classic navy or charcoal suit paired with a coordinating tie or bow tie and a pocket square in a complementary colour.
-
For a more relaxed dress code, try a blazer with a patterned pocket square or a textured tie that subtly stands out.
Styling the Pageboys
For pageboys, simplicity and charm are key. A miniature version of the groom’s outfit is a timeless choice, enhanced with a colour-coordinated bow tie or pocket square to match the wedding’s theme. Soft pastels or vibrant hues keep the look playful yet elegant.

What to Wear as a Groomsman
Groomsmen in 2025 are embracing both modern and traditional styles. Coordinating accessories—like a matching tie and pocket square set—help maintain a cohesive look while still allowing for personal flair. Braces are also making a stylish comeback, adding a vintage-inspired touch to groomsmen outfits.

Father of the Bride: How to Dress
The fathers of the bride should aim for a classic yet complementary look. Choosing a tie or pocket square that matches the wedding’s colour theme ensures a coordinated aesthetic. Many are also opting for velvet blazers or patterned vests to add an extra layer of sophistication.
