2025: THE YEAR IN STYLE SO FAR

Tailored precision. Head-to-toe boldness. Elevated style for any occasion. Menswear in 2025 isn’t playing it safe.

This is the year of the statement suit. Whether it’s a daring pop of colour, a textured fabric, or the sleek harmony of tonal dressing, today’s tailoring is about letting your personality show while keeping your look polished. Classic suits will always have their place, but the real excitement lies in the new, personality-driven wave of suiting.

Trending Suit Colours of 2025

This year’s palette strikes the perfect balance between enduring elegance and modern flair. Dependable neutrals remain wardrobe staples, but rich, confident hues are stepping into the spotlight.

  • Black – The undisputed classic. Sleek, sharp, and always appropriate, from black-tie events to high-stakes meetings.

  • Summer Pastels – Soft sage, blush pink, and powdery pastels bring a fresh, airy vibrance, perfect for outdoor celebrations and sun-drenched settings.

  • Autumn Depths – Rust, tan, and deep forest green capture the richness of the season, offering warmth and texture for cooler days.

  • Warm Blue – Adaptable and refined, equally at home in the office or at a wedding.

  • Beige, Stone & Taupe – Light, breezy neutrals that shine at warm-weather weddings or alfresco gatherings.

Monochrome & Tonal Dressing

One of the sleekest moves this year is going head-to-toe in one colour or closely related shades. It’s minimal, modern, and quietly confident. Examples:

  • Black suit, black shirt, black tie.

  • Charcoal suit layered with slate grey separates.

  • Beige suit paired with off-white shirt for a softer tonal effect.

Patterns & Textures

2025 isn’t just about colour, it’s about fabric with character. This year, suits are making a statement not only in shade but also in surface. From heritage-inspired weaves to modern innovations, texture is redefining tailoring.

  • Heritage Checks & Plaids – Time-honoured patterns are back in rotation, lending suits a sense of tradition while feeling fresh in contemporary cuts. Subtle windowpanes add refinement, while bolder checks make a confident style declaration.

  • Jacquards & Woven Motifs – Elevated and artistic, these fabrics introduce depth and intrigue through intricate patterning. Ideal for eveningwear or standout pieces.

  • Velvet – Luxurious and dramatic, velvet brings depth to your outfit. Whether in jewel tones for a bold statement or in midnight black for timeless elegance, velvet jackets are making a powerful return to formalwear.

  • Herringbones – Defined lines and sharp textures give classic tailoring a modern edge, bridging the gap between boardroom polish and weekend wear.

  • Lightweight Linen Blends – Breathable, relaxed, and effortlessly stylish—linen blends keep summer tailoring fresh while adding a tactile dimension.

  • Corduroy Revival – Ribbed textures bring a touch of retro charm, especially in earthy tones, making corduroy an unexpected yet sophisticated option for 2025.
