Best Fabrics for Autumn Wedding Suits

Refreshing the closet for every changing season is a big task for men. From blazers to trousers, shirts to pocket square clothes, each one had to be validated against the fall weather and accordingly, new purchases ought to be made. 

Any suit fabric that’s heavy and thick and promotes warmth suits autumn. And this is different from what you wore in the summer a few weeks ago, like cotton and linen—lightweight, soft, and vented. 

Autumn-friendly Fabrics

Autumn, a transition from summer to winter, brings a cool breeze. And for every cold weather, the major suit fabric that best matches is ‘Wool’. Typically, fabrics made of 100% wool are most preferred. There are different types of wool based on the sources, like:

  • Mohair wool (From Angora goats)
  • Virgin wool (From Lamb’s first shearing)
  • Cashmere wool (From Kashmir goats)
  • Alpaca wool (From Alpaca sheep)

The blend, woven, knitted, or spun woolen fabrics appropriate for men’s suits in the fall include:

  • Wool flannel: The main characteristics of flannel fabrics are softness, textures, and the base material (originally, wool). Today, synthetic fibers and cotton are used for making flannel apparel instead of wool.   
  • Boiled wool: As the name implies, this wool is boiled after the knitting process. This boiling gives more insulation and makes it much softer. 
  • Worsted wool: These fabrics are made of high-quality short wool fibers that give high insulation against the slowly progressing cold weather.  
  • Carded wool (Tweed): This type of wool is passed through either a carding machine or hand before spinning. In general, hand-carded wool fibers give more warmth than worsted wool fibers. 
  • Wool fleece: In this fabric, fleece and wool are blended, knitted, and brushed to give a snug feeling to the wearer. 

Autumn Wedding Suits—Best Fabrics and Patterns

For autumn weddings, be it the groom, groomsmen, or the groom’s father, everyone prefers wool, flannel, silk, and velvet fabrics. It all depends on the venue and how grand the wedding celebration is. While silk and velvet are preferred for the most grand occasions, a normal wool or flannel is suited for a simple and casual occasion. The level of insulation is more or less the same with all these fabrics. However, you can add or remove layers.

When it comes to patterns on autumn fabrics, plaid, herringbone, and houndstooth are the show stealers. Here are some of the best recommendations for fall wedding suits:

  1. A windowpane checkered three-piece suit made of tweed fabric. The suit color is cloud gray and the necktie color is smoke gray for the contrast with the white dress shirt and the light gray suit.  
  2. An olive green plaid 100% wool three-piece suit with contrasting orange necktie and pocket square. 
  3. A two-piece suit made in ocean blue and with flannel fabric. The necktie is light in hues to subtly complement the ocean blue suit. 
  4. A tri-color suit in three pieces: the blazer and the trousers are in light gray silk. The waistcoat is also silk, but navy blue. The necktie and the pocket square are in chocolate brown.
  5. A burgundy herringbone tuxedo with black silky shawl lapels. The dress shirt is also black to match the lapels and the bow tie.
