What is the wedding suit style in 2024?

A very good question that we brainstorm for many hours with our clients to create that unique personal style for them.

You can certainly say that in 2023, people want to be able to mix and match. This applies to both the suit, with various colors and patterns coming together to form one outfit, and especially the desire to wear each component separately. So, the jacket with chinos or jeans, the trousers alone with the waistcoat, and so on.

This custom-made wedding suit with a waistcoat is a perfect example of this trend.

Here, classic elements beautifully blend with modern preferences.

It is a three-piece suit made entirely with fabrics from Fox Brothers, specifically from the Vintage Fox collection. A fabric collection that is a favorite among style and quality enthusiasts as well as tailors, especially in terms of appearance and performance. A cut above the rest, so to speak.

Both the jacket and trousers are made with CARAMEL & ALMOND CHALK STRIPE (VF9), a 100% merino wool fabric weighing 370-400 grams. This gives the fabric a rich volume and a non-smooth texture, resulting in a beautiful drape and enhancing the fit.

The jacket has a specific feature, namely 7.5cm wide lapels. The flannel jacket is constructed with a separate inner layer (full canvas).

The flannel trousers have additional specific features: suspender buttons, button closure, and a side adjuster on the waistband.

The waistcoat is an asymmetrical model, where the fabric is visible not only on the front but also on the back. This allows for easier coordination, and you still look fully dressed when the jacket comes off.

The fabric of the waistcoat is a Houndstooth, also known as Puppytooth in this size, in the color ECRU & ROAST BROWN, again from the Fox Vintage collection. The fabric weighs 400/430 grams but remains soft and supple, making it delightful to wear.

The trick is to ensure that colors complement each other, and the patterns have a clear difference in size. Due to the dark color of the suit, the lighter waistcoat stands out more, and the significant difference between the Pinstripe and the Puppytooth makes it look more natural to the eye. This way, from a distance, you appear to be wearing a 'just' a brown suit, but as people come closer, they notice the many details. In my opinion, this is a good approach when you want to appear well-dressed based on quality, aka conveying Understated Confidence.
