Finding the Right Burgundy and Tan Menswear


 
 

Fall is fast approaching, and many brides and grooms haven't been able to find the perfect burgundy or tan ensemble for their wedding. We've had a TON of couples looking for one (or both!) of these options in the last couple weeks so we wanted to share our selection and wisdom with you in hopes that it may help.  

Burgundy aka Wine, Marsala, Aubergine

This popular color has a dozen different shades and names but most retailers aren't carrying many (if any) options in terms of burgundy jackets or pants.  The picture below shows the 3 main variations when looking at burgundy menswear.

By far the most popular of the burgundy styles is the burgundy with black satin lapels. You can see this on the photo on the right and left.  Both are considered tuxedos due to the satin.  Either option can be worn with black pants. The left image is a velvet burgundy jacket (no matching pants).  The tuxedo on the left is made by Ike Behar and is made of a super 120s wool-- it's very breathable and lightweight.  These are available with both matching pants and vest.  

If you don't want any black on the jacket or pants, you will want to opt for a burgundy suit (no satin) as shown in the center picture.  To completely eliminate black from the styling, pair with a neutral color tie and pocket square.  The burgundy suits are available for purchase or can be custom-made exactly for you!

In rental suits, the cool color option for tan menswear is the Tan Bartlett Tuxedo by Allure Men. This slim-fit tuxedo is perfect for casual and formal occasions.  Don't fret, there is no satin on this tuxedo, just beautiful piping and covered buttons!

Choosing the Different Cuts of Jackets

Fit of the Jacket     Over the years, tuxedo styles have changed. With those changes the way the jacket fits has also changed.

Father of Bride Tuxedo Rental | Suit Rental Phoenix Scottsdale Metro Area

Distinguishing The Father of The Bride With A Tuxedo Rental | Suit Rental   Dressing the escort or father of the bride is an important aspect to the wedding attire. After all, they will be the first person that your guests will see the bride with and should be dressed similarly to the wedding party. This topic my be a little biased for me. I am a father of 3 beautiful young ladies and I look forward to the day I am able to walk them down the aisle. I am always amazed when a bride has not given thought to what the person giving her away will wear. A lot of brides will have their fathers dressed in tuxedos or suits that are the same as the wedding party and use their accessories to really highlight them as a special person in the party. Neutral colors like black and grey are always a great choice because no matter who he might be taking pictures with his accessories will complement any colors in that photo. It also will work as a way to make him different than everyone ...
