Pick your burgundy look
Matching burgundy to your date
Burgundy pairs well with black, gold, champagne, blush and white dresses. If your date wears burgundy too, pick a suit a shade darker or lighter than the dress so the two of you don't blend together in photos.
A white shirt with a black or gold bow tie keeps it classic; a blush or champagne tie softens it for spring. Black shoes work with every style here, and brown shoes suit the sharkskin and textured suits for an outdoor event.
Questions
- Are these all the same shade? Close, but not identical: velvet looks deeper and sharkskin has a slight sheen. Each product page shows its burgundy version in the photos.
- What size should I order? Pick your jacket by chest measurement with our size guide. Pants come 6 inches smaller than the jacket and unhemmed, so a tailor can set the length.
- When should I order for prom? About 3 weeks before. Orders ship in 1–3 business days, and shipping is free.
Burgundy in every season
Burgundy feels warm, so it suits fall homecoming and winter formals, and it still looks fresh at a spring prom with lighter accessories. Velvet burgundy is the dressiest choice for evening; the sharkskin and slim suits are easier to wear again for graduation, a wedding or a holiday party.
Going with friends? Burgundy and black mix well in a group: some of you in burgundy, the rest in black with burgundy ties.
Still deciding? See black, navy or red prom suits, or browse all prom tuxedos and suits.
