Wedding Style Guide: What Color Suits to Wear to a Fall Wedding?
Posted by Dimitra Designs on Oct 30th 2024
Are you attending a fall wedding? You might be wondering how to find the perfect suit color that shows your unique personal style while still seamlessly fitting in with the season's theme.
One of the best color inspirations for this season is to take a cue from Mother Nature. As the leaves begin to turn, showcasing warm, earthy tones, these gorgeous hues will give you an excellent start for a sophisticated, season-appropriate suit.
Whether you’re a groom, groomsman, or an honored guest, choosing the right color is key to achieving a coordinated, elegant look for the big day.
Embracing the Season with Warmth: Earth Tones
A suit that echoes the season's warmth is always perfect for a fall wedding ensemble. Think rich shades like burgundy, deep green, or a gloriously deep navy blue. These colors echo and compliment a natural autumn backdrop while providing unique, classy options.
Burgundy
Burgundy is splashed artfully across nearly all autumn landscapes, making this deep reddish-purple hue a mirror to the season's changing leaves. Additionally, burgundy is a shade that complements a wide variety of skin tones and hair colors, making it an effortless choice that can elevate your look, especially if your skin is cool-toned.
Hunter Green
A few colors look universally stunning on everyone, and Hunter Green is one of them. Rich in color, it is reminiscent of the deep evergreen of the beautiful cypress pine, which keeps its head-turning shade all year round. It’s an ideal shade for any nature-themed wedding.
Navy Blue
Want a nearly endlessly versatile, timeless color that can be paired effortlessly with almost any fall color? A deep and mysterious Navy Blue will help inspire your fall wedding suit ideas. Navy blue is a shade that evokes tranquility and elegance all at once.
Steel Grey
Few colors can capture flawless neutrality with ageless style than handsome steel grey or shades of grey. From medium grey hues to the smokey depth of steel, this color is excellent for those who prefer the sleekness of neutral tones but also want to capture the essence of fall with touches of color through accessories. Grey provides a clean, well-dressed appearance that can be dressed up or down depending on any wedding’s formality.
Black
Do you prefer something more straightforward but something that says elegance, authority, versatility, and style all at once? A crisp, well-fitted black colored suit will no doubt be your favorite choice—black blends with any season and wedding theme, signifying power, confidence, and refinement.
Accessories: Make A Statement
While a suit encompasses your personality and presents your unique tastes and styles, adding accessories can make an already fabulously designed suit into a head-turning and polished silhouette.
Whether you wear a black, navy blue, hunter green, steel grey, or burgundy colored suit, the right accessories can help pull your entire look together to create an effortless, elegant style.
Add scintillating pops of color inspired by the season to compliment your fall wedding suit colors.
The Smartest Tie Colors
- Pair your hunter green or navy blue suit with a charming, warm champagne-colored silk tie for a subtle splash of autumnal hues, or go bolder with burnt pumpkin orange or mustard yellow.
- Mustard shades also work incredibly well if you want to elevate a burgundy, black, or steel grey suit. They capture the season and complement these classic colors. If you’re looking for a softer palette, utilizing lighter earth tones like beige or camel hints at autumn without leaning toward flamboyance.
Dapper Pocket Square Shades
You can tie the suit together by choosing a pocket square in complimentary mustard yellow and burnt orange. Alternatively, you can try something that perfectly captures the season and a bit of fun by selecting a pocket square with patterns such as fall leaves or spice hues and browns.
Fabulous Footwear and Belts
- Black is the most universally flattering footwear color that will match your choices. Polished black shoes are always a safe choice for a put-together, formal look that will pair seamlessly with your suit.
- Brown and even dark burgundy are alternative shades that work seamlessly with nearly every color suit.
- Tan might also be considered, especially if the wedding’s theme is fall, but the attire is more casual than formal.
There's good news if you prefer to wear a belt with your incredible suit! You can follow the same general autumn color advice for the footwear for your belt. Choose a warm, earthy brown leather or a matte black leather belt to tie everything from head to toe together.
A Little Dazzle: The Cufflinks
Carry the warm-tone theme over to your cufflinks by choosing a pair in deep gold, rust, or even deep red. You can even add a playful touch by choosing cufflinks in the shape of leaves, pumpkins, and gourds, or keep it simply classy with onyx stones in warm metals.
Find The Perfect Balance
Ultimately, the best color suit for a fall wedding will depend on the wedding’s level of formality, your style, and the wedding venue. Once you know the dress code for the wedding, you can begin to make on-trend choices that will make you feel confident, comfortable, and ready to celebrate in unquestionable style.
