Burgundy Tuxedo Jackets

Your Complete Guide to Burgundy Tuxedo Jackets

What This Collection Is

The “Burgundy Tuxedo Jackets” collection features rich, deep-red-toned jackets crafted for formalwear with personality. These jackets are tailored for tuxedo-style wear—typically one-button or two-button, satin or silk-lapel finishes, and a fit that elevates standard formalwear. They can be paired with matching trousers or contrasted with black tuxedo pants for a striking yet refined look.

Why This Collection Matters

Burgundy tuxedo jackets allow you to go beyond the classic black without being overly flashy. At :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}, we curate them because they resonate when you want to make an impression—be it a wedding, gala, or upscale evening event. Unlike department-store options (which often use thinner fabrics and inconsistent fits), our jackets are built with formalwear in mind: better fabrics, sharper tailoring, and a selection that stands out in person at our Santa Clarita showroom or nationwide online.

How to Choose the Right Burgundy Tuxedo Jacket

Fit: Slim, Modern, Classic

The right fit is the base of your look. If you prefer sleek and streamlined, go slim-fit—just be sure you can move comfortably. A modern fit offers slightly more room without sacrificing shape. For broader shoulders or taller frames, a classic fit offers structure and comfort. Ensure the jacket length covers your belt line and the sleeves show about a quarter-inch of shirt cuff.

Color & Texture Nuances

“Burgundy” spans a spectrum: wine, oxblood, crimson. Pick a tone that complements your skin tone and event lighting. Matte wool gives a more traditional feel; satin or velvet lapels add a luxe element. If you lean textured, look for subtle patterns or weaves that catch the light in a controlled way.

Fabric & Seasonality

For indoor evening events, medium-weight worsted wool or wool-blend works well year-round. For warmer seasons or warmer venues, a tropical-weight wool or wool-synthetic blend keeps you cooler. If the jacket has velvet or satin detailing, make sure the jacket’s body fabric isn’t overly heavy so you stay comfortable.

Body Type Considerations

If you have a broader upper body, choose a jacket with defined shoulders and consider minimizing lapel width so the overall look stays balanced. For leaner frames, a narrow lapel layered over a slim-fit body can elongate the silhouette. Always try on movement—sit, lift your arms—to ensure the jacket doesn’t pull or balloon.

Matching Accessories

Burgundy pairs exceptionally well with black trousers (for a classic combo) or deep navy/charcoal (for a more modern take). For shirts, crisp white always wins. Ties or bow ties can match the lapel color or contrast in black satin. Don’t forget a pocket square—white linen keeps it clean, while a subtle pattern with burgundy accents adds personality. For shoes, black patent or polished black leather is your safest bet.

Styling Tips

Want to make the burgundy jacket shine? Keep everything else streamlined. A white tuxedo shirt, black satin bow tie, and black tuxedo pants ensure the jacket remains the focal point. If you’re linking up with your party, check our groomsmen suits or groomsmen tuxedos to coordinate without matching too closely. For a fully bold choice, pair with matching burgundy trousers from our burgundy suits line—but keep finishes harmonious. Our in-house experts can help you see how the lapel texture plays in light when you visit the showroom.

When the event is less formal yet still elevated, you might swap the bow tie for a narrow dark-colored tie and drop the satin lapel for a wool one. That edge gives you flexibility and broadens the utility of the jacket beyond black-tie settings.

Event-Specific Guidance

Weddings (Groom / Groomsmen / Father-of-the-Groom)

If you’re the groom with a burgundy jacket, you’re making a statement—own it. Choose equally polished accessories and consider your groomsmen either matching or complementing with charcoal or black from our black suits or grey suits collections. For father-of-the-groom or other family, opt for the burgundy jacket with a tie that picks up the wedding palette.

Proms

Prom is the moment to elevate. A burgundy tuxedo jacket paired with black pants and tonal accessories—like black or dark gold—projects confidence. Visit our red carpet suits & tuxedos collection for inspiration.

Galas & Formal Evening Events

An elevated jacket like these fits perfectly at galas. Stick with clean, formal details: a black tuxedo shirt, black satin tie, and patent shoes. If the dress code allows, a slight sheen on the jacket lapel adds a luxe edge.

Holiday Parties / Social Events

For upscale social evenings, the burgundy jacket gives you seasonal versatility. Unlike traditional festive colors, burgundy works year-round and pairs effortlessly with dark neutrals. Check our holiday party outfits for layering ideas and accessory cues.
