There's no time like autumn for a burgundy suit. It's one of the signature colors of the season, and one of the main reasons I'm inclined to call fall the best time of year for menswear. Burgundy just pops–there's no other way to put it. It's a powerful statement color that, despite being so unique, pretty much anyone can pull off. It's outside of the norm but not so much so that it's difficult to put together a fit around it. Burgundy suits help you stand out, whether you're a groom or a guest. If you feel like giving one of our preferred fall colors a shot, read on for some of our favorite burgundy suits for men and the best ways to style them.

What to Wear With a Maroon or Burgundy Suit

Burgundy and maroon might look like difficult colors to style or complement but they're far simpler than you may realize. With the right shoes and tie, anyone can pull a burgundy suit off like an absolute pro.

What Color Shoes Go With a Maroon or Burgundy Suit?

When it comes to shoes with burgundy suits, go with browns. The brown should match the shade of burgundy or maroon that you're wearing, so lighter tones will call for warmer, lighter brown shoes. Alternatively, if you're wearing a maroon or burgundy suit with a darker shade, go with darker brown shoes.

What Color Tie Goes With a Maroon or Burgundy Suit?

While picking out a tie to go with a burgundy suit might not be as simple as picking out shoes, it's still a pretty easy task. Generally a burgundy or maroon suit is going to look best with a black or brown tie if you want to keep it neutral. To venture into the world of color, teal is burgundy's natural counterpart and can work well in a tie. Gold is also a great call. You can even wear a tie that's a shade of burgundy or red as long as it doesn't match the shade of the suit.
