Autumn Wedding Suit Guide: The Best Colours and Fabrics for March Grooms

Autumn is one of our favourite times of year: the weather stays relatively warm but there’s that hint of a chill in the air that makes wearing a suit all the more enjoyable. And it’s for this very reason that the Autumn months also make for an ideal time to say ‘I do’. 

This week, we’re putting pen to paper on how to create the perfect wedding suit at this time of year, focusing on everything from the best wedding suit colours for Autumn to what fabrics will best suit your big day. 

Without further ado, let’s dive in!

The best colours for Autumn wedding suits in Australia

When it comes to picking out a suit for the big day, having a sense of what colours you’re most drawn to is an easy way of helping to whittle down options and tightening the brief for your fitter. However, we know all too well that it’s not easy knowing where to start. 

To address this, we recommend thinking about those garments in your wardrobe that are true MVPs, the ones you turn to time and time again because of how they make you look and feel. The chances are that these will be made up of the colours that are most flattering for you and your skin tone. 

Of course, this is an Autumn wedding suit guide, and it’d be remiss of us not to throw some less common options into the mix for your consideration. At this time of year, there’s no going past warm neutral shades - think cream, tan, or even chocolate brown. Offset with a crisp white shirt and smart shoes, this can make the perfect suit for a garden wedding or something slightly more relaxed.

Wedding suit fabrics for Autumn grooms 

With a colour picked, it’s now time to shift attention to fabrics. In Australia, we’re lucky that our ‘Autumn’ doesn’t generally feel all that chilly, and for that reason you’re safe with most fabrics, spanning all the way from lighter linens through to wool. 

If you’re unsure about which way to lean, your best bet is to have a chat with one of our expert fitters who can help steer you in the right direction. As a failsafe, our recommendation generally skews to wool as this is a highly versatile fabric that will hold you in good stead regardless of whether the weather is high twenties or low teens.

To create your own autumn wedding fashion for a groom-to-be, we encourage you to swing by your local showroom or give us a bell today.
