The Best Suit Trends for 2025 – As Seen at Ruse Fashion Week
Ruse Fashion Week 2025 might be known mostly with womenswear collection, but this year it also became a stage for some of the most refined and wearable menswear trends. The Eastern European fashion scene proved it’s not just catching up – it’s leading. Two standout collections – by Atelier Banderol and Boutique Milano – offered a fresh take on tailoring, setting the tone for what the modern man will be wearing this year.
From updated double-breasted jackets to tonal neutrals and minimalist accessories, here are the suit trends that matter in 2025.
1. The Return of the Statement Suit
Designer: Atelier Banderol
The classic tuxedo is not going anywhere – but it’s no longer just a safe bet. Atelier Banderol opened the final evening of Ruse Fashion Week with a bold collection of bridal gowns and structured menswear. Among them: sharp black suits with satin lapels, subtle metallic threading, and exaggerated silhouettes. A confident twist on timeless tailoring.
Style note: Invest in a tailored suit with standout features – a fabric with depth, a pop of texture, or strong shoulders. Perfect for evening events or when you need to dress to impress.
2. Soft Neutrals Are the New Black
Designer: Boutique Milano
Boutique Milano’s menswear capsule reimagined the summer suit. Instead of standard black or navy, the Bulgarian boutique opted for taupe, cream, and dusty grey suits paired with collarless shirts and soft footwear. The result: effortless elegance, ideal for outdoor weddings or contemporary office settings.
Style note: Pair neutral suits with light layering – think a cotton knit or linen shirt – and let the subtle color palette speak volumes.
3. Double-Breasted – But Refined
Designers: Atelier Banderol and Boutique Milano
The double-breasted suit gets a modern reboot in 2025. Gone are the boxy, power-suit cuts of the past. Instead, Atelier Banderol and Boutique Milano showed clean-lined, close-fitting double-breasted jackets with shorter lapels and softer construction. It’s tailoring, but with fluidity.
Style note: When going double-breasted, make sure the fit hugs your frame. Skip the bold accessories – the cut is the statement.
4. Minimalism in the Details
If there’s one thing both collections agree on, it’s that less is more. Instead of flashy ties or oversized accessories, we saw textured pocket squares, simple metal pins, and uncluttered collars. It’s a shift towards accessories that enhance, not distract.
Style note: Choose one standout detail – a finely made belt, a discreet pin, or a pocket square with texture – and keep the rest quiet.
5. Suits Beyond the Aisle
Though both labels presented in a bridal context, their menswear wasn’t just for grooms. These looks were designed with a broader lifestyle in mind: boardrooms, galleries, rooftop dinners. The emphasis is on wearability with polish.
Style note: Don’t save your best suit for special occasions. Mix it into your weekly rotation – just style it down with a knitted polo or sneakers.
Final Thoughts
If Ruse Fashion Week 2025 has taught us anything, it’s that European menswear is embracing clean elegance with personality. Suits are no longer stiff, outdated, or overly formal – they’re expressive, sleek, and built for movement. With labels like Atelier Banderol and Boutique Milano pushing boundaries subtly, the modern man has every reason to suit up this year.
