Three Looks We're Loving For Lesbian Custom Wedding Suits Right Now
With a great deal of gratitude and excitement, we’re seeing a lot of people from the LGBTQ+ communities for their wedding suits at the moment. These have been some of our most rewarding experiences to date as a company, not just because the clients have without fail been great but because the looks / designs have often been so bold, adventurous, cutting edge and interesting. It’s made our job pretty fun, in other words.
In light of all that, we thought we’d bring you three looks we are absolutely feeling for lesbian custom wedding suits at the moment. Enjoy, and please feel free to reach out with any questions or schedule in for an obligation-free appointment to get fitted for your next suit!
BLACK TIE WEDDING
1) A Three Piece Tuxedo (with vest)
The look could be all white, but could also be a combination of black and white in the suit body fabric and the satin tuxedo contrast. I've had clients do black tux pants and vest with a white smoking jacket; or white vest and jacket with black pants; or all white with black satin lapels on the jacket. There are many different arrangements here. With White pants, I would always suggest doing them longer, slightly bootcut and flow-y as white can tend to be quite see through so it’s best to not wear it skin tight unless, you know, that’s just your thing in which case we’re totally cool with it!
Another black tie option for a fall/winter wedding is a velvet tux jacket and vest with wool pants. Usually this is an all black look. We would not recommend doing the pants in velvet unless you don't mind them being wide leg.
If you are more flexible in not needing to wear white (or black), a Midnight Navy or blue tux is really cool and unique too. We have plenty of amazing options here.
You might also opt for a double-breasted jacket. Especially if you only wear the vest underneath, the double-breasted approach can look really formal and sharp.
In terms of what to wear under the suit, that is really where your style and personality can come out. If you feel more comfortable in a masculine look, you would most likely wear a dress shirt (tuxedo shirt or otherwise), bow tie, cuff links and shirt studs.
If you are more on the androgynous to feminine side, you may want to wear a sheer top or camisole, or even use the vest to sub as your top (it’s really just like wearing a jumpsuit but you don't have to take the whole thing off to use the loo! ha).
SEMI-FORMAL WEDDING
2) A Two or Three Piece Suit In A Dark Formal Wool/Silk Blend (no tuxedo satin)
Dark colors can absolutely be formal enough for a chic wedding without being full black tie. The vest really steps up the look, because you generally won't wear the jacket the entire night. You can choose a fun pop of color on the back of the vest lining so when you do take off your jacket you will still look formal and set apart from the rest of the wedding party. I see a lot of first dances with just the vest on.
The styling is of course up to your body and personal style, but for traditional 3-piece suits I would recommend a tailored jacket and a straight, fitted pant.
CASUAL OR OUTDOOR WEDDING
3) Three Piece Suit in a Bold Color or Texture
I sound like a broken record but I would always recommend 3 pieces for the Bride, even if it’s a casual wedding. We can factor plenty of ‘casual’ variations into the fabric. You can have plenty of fun with texture and color and even pattern. I recently did a burgundy - with a teal windowpane - 3 piece suit for a more casual wedding because even though it was unconventional it suited the bride perfectly. It came out so well! It's really all about what looks best against your skin. That's why it's best to come in for an in-person consultation.
White or light colored linen looks can work great for summer weddings. For linen, I would absolutely recommend a more flow-y, loose fitted pant. The jacket and vest can be fitted.
