Men's Burgundy Dress Shirts

Frequently Asked Questions

What color dress shirt should I wear as a guest to a fall wedding?

Burgundy, deep green, navy and brown all suit a fall wedding. Burgundy is the easiest of these to wear because it is rich without being loud. Pair it with a charcoal or navy suit and a tie a shade darker than the shirt.

What suit and tie colors go with a burgundy dress shirt?

Burgundy pairs best with charcoal, navy, grey and black suits. Choose a tie that is darker or more neutral than the shirt, such as navy, charcoal, black or a subtle pattern. A tonal burgundy tie works for evening events.

Is a burgundy dress shirt a good choice for homecoming?

Yes. Burgundy is one of the most popular homecoming colors because it photographs well and works with black, navy and grey suits. Coordinate with your date through the tie or pocket square rather than the shirt.

Is burgundy the same as maroon?

Close, but not quite. Maroon is browner and slightly darker; burgundy has more purple-red in it. Most people use the names interchangeably, and both pair with the same suits and ties.
