Best Menswear’s Made-to-Measure service offers an opportunity for LGBTQ+ couples to wear the outfits of their dreams as they walk down the aisle. Read more below.
For generations, wedding fashion followed a familiar formula: a white dress, a black suit, and little room for anything in-between. But love, as the LGBTQ+ community knows too well, doesn’t fit neatly into a box – and neither should what we wear to celebrate it.
That’s why more queer couples are turning to Best Menswear’s Made-to-Measure service – a personalised tailoring experience that embraces personal identity, self-expression, and the simple truth that weddings should look and feel like you.
Whether it’s two grooms opting for coordinating suits with different textures, or a bride choosing a perfectly tailored tux over a gown, Best Menswear has become a quiet leader in helping LGBTQ+ clients walk down the aisle in style.
Made-To-Measure, Made to feel seen
At the heart of Best Menswear’s approach is a respect for individuality. Their made-to-measure tailoring service offers clients full creative control: from fabric and lining to lapel shape, button detail, and fit, each suit is built from the ground up.
But it’s about more than just design – it’s about feeling seen, welcomed, and celebrated.
“I was hoping to get something that felt comfortable and looked really nice”, shared Stefano, who married his husband Aaron last year. “It was a big day, so it was important to have a suit that actually fit me – not just something off-the-rack that wasn’t made for my body type.”
Jessica and Laura were equally moved by their experience. “Tara was incredible from the start – professional, attentive, and thoughtful. She listened to what I wanted and made expert suggestions that brought everything together,” Jessica shared. “The suit fit like a dream. I felt confident, stylish, and completely myself. It truly added something special to our day.”
Your style, your story
In a world where bridalwear is still heavily gendered, made-to-measure tailoring offers a refreshing alternative. It allows clients to break from the norm and build an outfit that aligns with how they see and feel about themselves – whether that’s a sharp classic silhouette, something fluid and modern, or a complete departure from tradition.
The team of made-to-measure specialists at Best Menswear are expertly trained, creating an experience that’s affirming, supportive and focused on getting the details right.
And for couples, it can be one of the most meaningful parts of the wedding journey.
The freedom to dress for you
Weddings are deeply personal, and what you wear should feel the same. Best Menswear’s made-to-measure service empowers the LGBTQ+ community to embrace their own sense of style- whether that’s subtle, bold, classic, or completely custom.
Because love isn’t one-size-fits-all. And your wedding look shouldn’t be either.
