How to Wear a Burgundy Suit: The Paul Lorenzo Slim Fit 2-Piece

Burgundy is one of the best ways to step out of navy and black without going too far. It is deep, warm and rich, and it looks great under evening lights. The Paul Lorenzo Burgundy Slim Fit 2-Piece Suit puts that color in a clean, modern cut. Here is how to wear it.

Why Burgundy?

Burgundy reads as confident and polished. It works for fall and winter weddings, prom and homecoming, holiday parties and nights out. It pairs easily with white, black, light pink and light blue shirts.

The Cut: Modern Slim Fit

The jacket has a tapered waist, a two-button, single-breasted front, a notch lapel and double rear vents. It is fully lined with outer and inner pockets. The matching pants are slim fit with a flat front, a mid-rise waist and a zipper fly. They are lined to the knee and come full length, ready for your tailor to hem.

Sizing Made Simple: Drop 6

This suit is a drop 6: the pants waist is 6 inches smaller than the jacket size. Every size lists both numbers, like 40R/34W (40 Regular jacket, 34 waist pants).

Sizes run 36R to 62R in Regular, 38S to 46S in Short and 42L to 56L in Long. Short fits men about 5'4" to 5'7", Regular about 5'8" to 6'0", and Long about 6'1" and taller. Pick your jacket size by measuring around the fullest part of your chest.

How to Style a Burgundy Suit

For a Fall or Winter Wedding

Wear a crisp white shirt with a navy, black or gold tie. Dark brown or oxblood shoes keep it rich and seasonal.

For Prom or Homecoming

Go bold with a black shirt and black tie, or a white shirt and a black bow tie. Black dress shoes finish the look.

For the Holidays

Try a light pink or white shirt with a dark green or plaid tie.

For a Night Out

Wear the jacket over a black turtleneck with black Chelsea boots.
