Burgundy Prom Suits, Tuxedos

Your Complete Guide to Burgundy Prom Suits & Tuxedos

What This Collection Is

Burgundy prom suits and tuxedos are for the student who wants a bold, elevated look that still reads classy. This collection highlights rich wine tones, deep reds, and modern burgundy shades across slim-fit suits, satin-lapel tuxedos, and statement jackets. These pieces stand out in photos, complement a wide range of prom dress colors, and offer a sharp alternative to traditional black or blue.

Why This Collection Matters

Prom isn’t just another school dance—it’s the night where your look should match the moment. Burgundy is one of the top trending prom colors because it strikes the perfect balance between confident and sophisticated. Perfect Tux curates this collection with modern fits, higher-quality construction, and more variety than you’ll ever find at a rental shop. From velvet options to satin-trimmed tuxedos, you get choices that help you look unique without overdoing it.

How to Choose the Right Burgundy Prom Look

Fit: Slim, Modern, or Classic

Most prom shoppers go slim or modern fit for that clean profile in photos. If you want extra room in the chest or shoulders, a classic fit still works—as long as it’s tailored properly. Compare silhouettes with options from our slim fit suits and modern fit tuxedos collections.

Shades of Burgundy

Not all burgundy tones are the same. Deep wine gives a luxury feel, bright burgundy pops under prom lights, and darker oxblood shades make the look more mature. If you want to experiment with color mixes, explore blends in our burgundy tuxedos, suits, & blazers collection.

Fabric & Finish

Prom calls for texture and character. Satin lapels, luxe wool blends, and velvet finishes all work well. If you want something more daring, patterned and paisley options—similar to those in our paisley & floral tuxedos—add depth without overwhelming the look.

Accessories That Make the Color Pop

Burgundy pairs perfectly with black, gold, silver, and even rose gold details. A clean bow tie, polished shoes, and a crisp white shirt keep the focus on the suit. Check out bow ties, tuxedo shoes, and pocket squares to complete the outfit.

Styling Tips

Let the color lead. If you're wearing a full burgundy tuxedo, keep everything else simple—black pants, white shirt, black bow tie. For a slightly more fashion-forward look, try a patterned or textured jacket layered with solid black tuxedo pants. If you want something more unique, consider pairing burgundy with subtle gold or champagne tones—collections like champagne tuxedos, suits, & blazers offer great complementary shades.

Shoes matter too. Black patent loafers or polished dress shoes always hit right. For a trendier approach, check out unique footwear options like those in our men’s black prom loafers or men’s prom outfits collections.

Event-Specific Guidance

Prom (Primary Use)

This collection is made for prom night—whether you’re aiming for classic, bold, or something in between. Burgundy photographs exceptionally well against prom backdrops and pairs effortlessly with the most popular dress colors: black, gold, silver, champagne, navy, and white.

Homecoming & School Formals

If you want a look you can rewear, a burgundy suit (rather than a tuxedo) gives you more flexibility. Explore alternative event options with our homecoming suits & tuxedos collection.

Weddings (If Reused)

If you end up wearing this look again for a wedding, stick to darker burgundy tones for a more mature presence. Consider pairing it with accessories from our wedding suits or groomsmen suits collections.

Formal Parties & Special Events

Burgundy tuxedos fit right in at holiday events, banquets, and upscale parties. When you want a more event-neutral version, explore similar shades in our red tuxedos, suits, & blazers or lavender tuxedos, suits, & blazers collections for variety.
