From architectural fits to androgynous energy, S&S does it best

The Met Gala gave tailoring its moment. Sarah & Sandeep made it timeless—with Indian craftsmanship and aisle-ready precision

Tailored fits and structured silhouettes have dominated global fashion this year on runways, red carpets, and everything in between. Clean lines, architectural cuts, and reimagined suiting are having more than a moment; they’re rewriting the dress code. Geometric layering. Pastel palettes. Gender-fluid fits. We’re loving it all. From Rihanna’s sculpted grey set to Zendaya’s clean-cut three-piece, this year’s Met Gala reminded us what great tailoring can do—make a look feel grounded and sharp. And closer home, Sarah & Sandeep are taking that same idea to an interesting route: the wedding aisle. Not just adapting tailoring to Indian wear, but rebuilding it from the inside out. The result? Outfits that hold their shape without feeling stiff, and speak volumes without saying much. It’s less about following a trend, more about knowing exactly what works, and cutting everything else out.

Less twirl, more tuxedo:

We love a lehenga moment. And a sari will always have its place. But every once in a while, it’s worth switching things up, and nothing does it quite like a well-cut tuxedo. Sarah & Sandeep’s take? Fitted waists, sculptural shoulders, maybe a sleeve that goes a little off-script. Their Contemporary Black Tie collection brings the drama of opera to a minimalist’s wardrobe—clean, crisp, and quietly bold. We asked them what kind of bride or groom they’re designing for this season. “A new-age minimalist — confident, design-conscious, and deeply individualistic. Someone who values precision tailoring as much as tradition” say Sarah and Sandeep. And that’s exactly what shows up in their silhouettes. No fuss. Just the art of geometry, done with a whole lot of personality.

Suit yourself

From Keith Powers to Lewis Hamilton, this year’s Met served some seriously strong suit-and-tie moments, and that’s exactly the kind of energy Sarah & Sandeep have been perfecting for seasons. Their recent Sartorial Power Series lives up to the name, dialling into sharp tailoring with just the right amount of edge. “2025 will be the year of quiet luxury, meaning clean lines, subtle detailing, and meaningful craftsmanship. We’re loving structured layering. Loud logos and over-embellished pieces are a miss for us,” they say. And it shows. Every piece from the drop leans into restraint without losing presence. It’s elevated, and delivers total old money energy.

Sartorial Wedding '25 (and more)

What happens when sharp tailoring meets soft colour? Sartorial Wedding ’26 has the answer. Building on the structural finesse of last year’s standout drop, this new chapter introduces sleeker cuts, lighter movement, and a pastel palette that feels anything but expected. “We’re introducing a fresh pastel palette, tones that are soft yet distinct,” say Sarah & Sandeep. Paired with the brand’s signature geometry and dual-tone detailing, the result is a wardrobe that’s equal parts ease and edge. If Wedding ’25 was about rewriting the rules, Wedding ’26 is about refining them with silhouettes that stay sharp, but somehow better.

Split up the set

Triunity isn’t just a drop, it’s truly a mindset. S&S take the idea of an Indian three-piece and flip it on its head: think precision tailoring, geometric silk kurtas, and jackets so good you’ll want to break the set and wear them everywhere. It’s occasionwear that plays well beyond the main event. “Break up the sets—wear a Triunity sherwani jacket with trousers for formal dinners or re-style a structured suit as separates,” they say. And honestly? That’s the smartest thing you can do for your wardrobe. These pieces are built to be versatile—day to night, shaadi to soirée.

Not only does this drop flip the script on bridalwear with sculpted silhouettes and tailored tux moments, it also takes menswear to a whole new (and much sleeker) level. Basically, if you’re after pieces with structure but want to skip the usual “uncle’s reception suit” energy, Sarah & Sandeep is your answer. And the best part? You’ll find all this and a few curveball silhouettes you didn’t know you needed, right here at The Wedding Collective.
