As Travis Kelce prepares for his upcoming wedding to Taylor Swift, his former tailor, Tom Marchitelli, has offered insights into what the NFL star might wear. Marchitelli, who worked with Kelce for a decade and created 25 suits for him, anticipates that Kelce will opt for a traditional, yet stylish, wedding ensemble.
Marchitelli predicts Kelce will choose a Louis Vuitton tuxedo for the ceremony, citing the athlete's long-standing affinity for the brand. "He was one of the first that really pushed me into [wilder looks]. He’s always had that eye to really push the envelope and wear things that got people talking, because that’s what he loves to do," Marchitelli told Page Six Style.
For the ceremony, Marchitelli envisions a classic black, slightly fuller-cut double-breasted tuxedo with a crisp white shirt and black bow tie, possibly accented with a diamond lapel pin. He also suggested that Kelce might pay homage to his appearance at Swift's Eras Tour by wearing a top hat and tails. Louis Vuitton's involvement is also plausible given the brand's recent prominence with both Swift and Kelce, and its association with Pharrell Williams, a musical figure appealing to the couple.
While Tom Ford is another possibility, Marchitelli noted that the brand's ubiquity among celebrities might make it "too attainable" for Kelce's special day. Marchitelli also doesn't expect brands like Amiri, Thom Browne, or Tommy Hilfiger, which Kelce has worn previously, to be part of his wedding wardrobe.
Given Kelce's penchant for distinctive fashion, Marchitelli anticipates at least one outfit change during the event, potentially featuring metallic accents or sparkling details. "Metallic accents and sparkle? I can see it. Diamond or gem stone appliqués on his jacket lapels? Now that I can really see, and wouldn’t be mad at all," Marchitelli said. He added, "If there’s one guy who can pull it off, it’s Killa Trav."
