Whether you’re the groom, best man or a guest, looking your best is essential at a wedding. While there’s a significant focus on what the bride and bridesmaids will be wearing, men’s wedding fashion is always in danger of being overlooked. Until now, that is. 

If you want to stand out from the crowd and wear something a little different at an upcoming wedding, a burgundy suit could be the perfect choice. Combining style with formality, it’s an easy-to-wear colour that will ensure you look great throughout the ceremony and at the reception. 

 

Find the Right Suit Style

If you’ve always assumed men’s fashion was rather limited when it comes to suits, think again. There are plenty of different styles to consider, so be sure to try a variety before you decide which one is right for a summer wedding. 

Classic and modern cuts will give a traditional feel, while slim or skinny cuts are perfect for a more contemporary look. You can incorporate a waistcoat into your outfit, if you want to achieve the traditional three-piece look for a formal event, like a wedding. 

Similarly, minor changes to the style can have a big impact. A larger lapel is associated with more formal occasions, for example, so a shawl lapel could elevate your suit to the next level and ensure it’s perfect for a wedding celebration. Alternatively, go all out and put a modern twist on tradition with a burgundy tux.

 

Choose the Right Material

No matter what colour your suit is, you’ll want to ensure it’s the right material. Wool is a popular option, but it might not be the best choice for a summer wedding. Cotton, silk and even linen is much lighter and will help you to stay cool throughout the day. Alternatively, a blend of materials will help you to create your best look, while ensuring the material remains comfortable and wearable throughout the day. 

 

Burgundy Colour Combinations

If you want to dazzle in a burgundy suit, it’s important to ensure you’ve got the right colour combinations in place. When you’re wearing a burgundy suit, both black and white will complement the tone of your outfit. With a white shirt and skinny black tie, for example, you can create a contemporary style that ensures you’ll stand out from the crowd.

However, if you want to be a little more daring, there are plenty of options to consider. Neutral shades, like grey, work well with burgundy, but so do other tones with a red-base, such as pinks. Of course, lighter hues can be great for a summer wedding. Alternatively, a light blue shirt paired with a burgundy suit can look sublime, while a black shirt can give your style an edgy feel. 

To look your best, you need to feel your best, so experiment with colours and cuts to find the perfect outfit. When you do, you can be confident that a burgundy suit will reflect a sophisticated image that takes your style to the next level.
