2026 Suit Trends to Inspire Your Design

  • Double breasted is back: sharper and shorter than before, with peak lapels for a powerful look
  • Three-piece suits: a waistcoat lets you take the jacket off at the reception and still look dressed up
  • Jewel tones: wine, burgundy, forest green and teal for weddings and evening events
  • The new neutrals: charcoal, stone and beige for day weddings and office wear
  • Tailored, clean shoulders: a sharp but comfortable fit that moves with you

The classic. Works for office, parties and weddings.

Bold and formal. Perfect for grooms and double breasted suits.

Shawl Lapel

Smooth and rounded. Ideal for reception and cocktail looks.

Choose Your Fit

Shaped at the waist for a sharp, modern look.

Straight and balanced. Comfortable all day.

Caring for Your Custom Suit

  • Hang it right: use a wide, padded hanger to keep the shoulders in shape
  • Dry clean less: dry clean only when needed, and spot clean small marks
  • Steam, don't iron: steaming removes wrinkles without shine marks
  • Let it rest: give your suit a day off between wears
  • Store it covered: keep it in a breathable garment bag

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a custom suit?

A custom suit is made to your own measurements and choices, such as fabric, colour, fit and lapel, instead of standard ready-made sizes.

Can I order a custom suit online?

Yes. Choose a style, share your measurements and tell us your preferences. Our team will confirm the details with you before tailoring your suit.

Should I choose a 2-piece or a 3-piece suit?

A 2-piece is lighter and more versatile. A 3-piece with a waistcoat looks more formal and is a great choice for grooms and wedding functions.

Which suit colour is best for a groom?
