Burgundy suits, yea or nay?

Yeah, one day, maybe. It would get worn so rarely though...

I have a wine/burgundy sportcoat I wear rarely. A wine suit I would wear even less -- probably not at all.

Easy. Nay. There's no way or nowhere I'm going to wear a burgundy suit. But I guess it depends on the nature of someone's work. For creative people/environment this can work.

Definitely for those outside of the legal/financial circle, as I implied earlier. However, given how broad the category 'artistic/creative' has gotten in these digital decades, I'm surprised at the timorousness of the commenters here. Loosen up, guys, a little color never hurt anyone. Consider the Churchwell Brothers and do thou likewise.

I think if you're going for a "fun" blazer, I like that better than a lot of the patterned checks/Madras types of jacket out there.

The pants are less useful (i.e. no suit) but could see pairing them with a very dark gray jacket for evening as an interesting change of pace.

I tend to think of burgundy blazers as best reserved for hotel staff, car rental teams and the like.

A burgundy suit? Best worn with a broad brimmed hat when you have "turned out" a string of girls on the street...and you're back in 1975, Leroy.

^^This colour is more like wine.

I know what you mean, less Burgundy and more Bordeaux.

Navy or dark burbundy is much of a muchness to me.

Velvet smoking or GTFO.
