Embrace the Elegance of Burgundy
Burgundy remains a perennial favorite for fall weddings. Consider a tailored three-piece suit, a burgundy tuxedo with distinctive lapels, or a tone-on-tone paisley dinner jacket for subtle depth. Keep the shirt crisp and the accessories minimal so the fabric and color lead.
Fall Allure with Velvets
Velvet is the epitome of cool-weather luxury—perfect for cocktail and evening ceremonies. Explore rich shades like burgundy and deep navy, then finish with a velvet or satin black bow tie and polished loafers. Shop our curated velvet tuxedo jackets to add texture without sacrificing formality.
Fall Color Suits
Three hues define the season for modern grooms and wedding parties:
Navy
Timeless with edge, navy pairs beautifully with burgundy, blush, or antique gold accents. Try a peaked-lapel suit or dinner jacket for added presence. Explore our wedding suits to build the look.
Green
Dark emerald reads luxurious and seasonal. Keep shirts and accessories restrained—white shirt, black tie, onyx cufflinks—so the color stays refined.
Brown
Mocha through chocolate complements autumn tones and woodsy venues. Choose a textured weave (flannel/serge) for dimension, and ground with oxblood or dark brown shoes.
Classic Tuxedo—or a Splash of Color
You can never go wrong with a classic black tuxedo for fall. Want personality without breaking code? Reach for tuxedos in forest green, burgundy, or charcoal. Consider tone-on-tone patterns or velvet lapels to add depth that photographs beautifully.
