Tom Marchitelli, a distinguished suit designer renowned for his work with elite NFL athletes, has shared his insights into what Travis Kelce might wear on his wedding day. Kelce, who is gearing up to marry the celebrated pop star Taylor Swift, is expected to showcase a look that subtly nods to Swift’s record-breaking Eras Tour.

In an interview, Marchitelli indicated that Kelce, 36, is likely to pay tribute to Swift’s acclaimed tour during their wedding ceremony. He speculated that Kelce could wear a bespoke tuxedo reminiscent of a striking outfit he donned in June 2024 while joining Swift on stage at Wembley Stadium. “White tie is the highest form of dressing for a man, and it looked pretty awesome on him,” Marchitelli remarked, referring to the ensemble featuring long coattails, a top hat, and a stylish combination of a white vest and bow tie.
Marchitelli elaborated on the various options for Kelce’s wedding ensemble, suggesting that it could include distinctive patterns or textures, as well as sparkling accessories like diamond lapel pins. “He could also introduce elements like a chain wallet or a vest chain,” he noted. The designer believes there is ample room for creativity while still keeping a nod towards classic formal attire.
Having worked closely with Kelce since they connected via social media in 2016, Marchitelli has become well-acquainted with the tight end’s fashion choices. Over five years, he has crafted numerous outfits for Kelce, including tailored suits for each road game during the NFL seasons. Marchitelli described Kelce as one of the most influential figures in athletic fashion, even before his rise to fame as a Super Bowl champion.
“Travis is very versatile in his style across different events,” Marchitelli commented. “He possesses a unique blend of charisma and confidence that allows him to wear anything effortlessly.” He noted that Kelce’s fashion sense has evolved considerably, making him a standout in the world of sports style.
While Marchitelli believes that Kelce’s ceremonial look will reflect a sophisticated classicism—with a slated prediction of bespoke Louis Vuitton—he also anticipates the presence of edgy elements throughout the evening. He predicts that Kelce could showcase a minimum of three different outfits during the wedding festivities, including variations for the ceremony, reception, and potentially for an afterparty or concert segment.
“This is a wedding of significant magnitude,” said Marchitelli, who eagerly anticipates fashion houses in Paris and Italy vying for the chance to dress Kelce for his big day. He expressed a touch of envy, acknowledging that while he wished to be part of those choices, he understands the desire to provide Swift with her fairytale moment.
Marchitelli added that the most formal outfit Kelce wears will be the one captured during their vows. “That is the image that will stand the test of time,” he stated. As the wedding day approaches, there is no doubt that fans and fashion aficionados alike are keenly awaiting the couple’s choices, which are sure to create a significant social media buzz.
Ultimately, as Kelce prepares for this monumental day, the fashion choices will not only reflect his personal style but also embody a celebration of love between him and Swift. Marchitelli’s predictions provide a tantalising glimpse into the potential sartorial splendours that await on what promises to be a spectacular occasion.
