Colored suits have long been a fall wedding feature for the groom. This season, colored suits are taking the trend a step further with rich, saturated jewel-tone hues. Teal, ink blue, burgundy, and emerald suits make a bold statement while complementing fall and winter wedding color palettes.
Bold Plaid & Checkered Suits

Plaid suits in bold, contrasting color palettes are in this season. If you’re not ready to make such a daring statement, look for plaids with fainter, thinner lines, or plaids in a neutral color palette.
Lush Fabrics & Textures

Classic fabrics like velvet and tweed are making a comeback in modern suit silhouettes. Solid-color velvet adds a sense of luxury while tweed recalls a classic, rustic style. Both fabrics add texture and visual interest without becoming distracting. Modern, slimmer cut suit styles keep these lush fabrics from becoming too heavy or "old". And 3-piece suits (traditional and timeless) are another way to create layers of texture.
Make It Yours

Whether you’re planning on going bold or sticking with a more classic style, be sure your suit and accessories reflect your personality and style. Accessories that draw on these trends, like a velvet bow tie, can add a modern twist to a classic suit. Conversely, balance bold, trendy suits with classic accessories in neutral tones.
