Let’s Talk About the Men’s Burgundy Suit.
Ah, the men’s burgundy suit. Ryan Gosling, Chace Crawford, Jensen Ackles…more than likely, you’ve seen these icons sporting their stylish, regal burgundy suits. Sure, these movie stars look great in them, but there’s no reason why you can’t sign up for the burgundy club as well.
Not sure how to wear a burgundy suit, or what to pair it with? Look no further. Here’s the scoop on the burgundy fad.
If you’re used to greys, blacks and browns, a burgundy suit might seem quite far-out to you. But don’t worry! Even though it ventures out of the realm of neutrals and into the world of colour, burgundy is still quite a pleasant, dark-toned colour that’s easier on the eyes than, say…a bright yellow.
Rich colours are always a great pick. Chocolatey browns, navy blues, and of course, seductive burgundy. This regal colour works well with any skin tone, so adding this colour to your suit arsenal is simple enough. It just takes a little bit of finesse.
Finding the right accessories for your men’s burgundy suit.
You might feel a lot more nervous about matching accessories with your burgundy suit, and with good reason! After all, it’s much easier to match your shirt, tie and shoes to a black, grey or brown suit.
Burgundy Suits & Shirts
Pair your burgundy get-up with a crisp white or light salmon shirt to make a daring contrast. You can also opt for a darker-coloured shirt, like a black or dark brown. Brown ties pair excellently with lighter-coloured shirts, serving to tie the entire look together.
Fabrics
When it comes to the type of fabric you choose, you’re in luck. Most of the more common fabrics work rather well with burgundy, but we strongly believe that velvet deserves an honorary entrance into the burgundy hall of fame.
Burgundy Suits for men & your Shoes
You’d be surprised at how well burgundy plays when it comes to shoes. You can, of course, always take the safer route and choose a black, dark brown or burgundy, but tan coloured shoes can also fit a burgundy suit quite nicely.
Wearing your men’s burgundy suit out.
Your burgundy suit can be either dressed up or dressed down, depending on where you’re heading. Here are three occasions that could prove ideal for looking your burgundy best.
Weddings, proms and other formal events.
Burgundy’s royal hue is perfect for a more formal dress code. Effective but not overly loud, you’ll ensure that you draw just enough attention without outshining the groom himself.
Nights out with that special someone.
You can dress your burgundy suit down with a more casual shirt sans tie for nights like these. Going all out isn’t required, and in fact, you might find that less is more…and more appreciated.
The Workplace.
Burgundy Sports Coat
Want the perfect way to impress your boss and co-workers? Just the addition of a burgundy jacket to your typically neutral-coloured trousers is enough to turn a few heads your way.
Wrap Up.
Life is way too short to be confined in your style. Burgundy suits aren’t just for the Ryan Goslings and the Jensen Ackles of the world – they’re for anyone who loves them enough to give them a try. Will that be you?
