Creating a Tailored Autumn Wardrobe
As the leaves begin to change and Spring/Summer is behind us, Brisbane’s mild autumn approaches, it’s the ideal time to rethink your wardrobe, especially when it comes to suiting and tailored clothing. For the modern gentleman, there is no better investment than a custom made suit, tailored to perfection with attention to fabric, fit, colour and style.
At Weyridges, Brisbane’s premier tailored clothing destination, we believe that a well tailored suit not only enhances your appearance but also your confidence. This autumn, we’re here to guide you through curating the perfect wardrobe with a focus on fabrics, fit and seasonal colours. Whether you’re dressing for the office, a special event or just want to update your everyday look, Weyridges has you covered.
Autumn Fabrics: Texture and Comfort
Autumn in Brisbane offers a cooler climate, making it the perfect time to incorporate richer, warmer fabrics into your suits. At Weyridges, we recommend exploring the following fabrics for your autumn suits:
- Wool: A timeless fabric from a Tuxedo to hunting jacket, wool is both breathable and insulating. Wool suits are perfect for autumn because they can keep you warm without overheating.
- Tweed: This textured fabric has a more rustic feel and is ideal for casual or weekend wear. Tweed adds a touch of tradition and works well in earthy tones for autumn.
- Flannel: Slightly heavier than regular wool, flannel adds a soft, brushed finish, giving your suit a more relaxed and cozy appearance, perfect for the autumn season.
- Corduroy: For a more adventurous touch, corduroy provides an added texture that can bring depth to your suit. It’s a great option for blazers or trousers during autumn.
- Cashmere Blends: For those looking for ultimate luxury, a wool-cashmere blend overcoat offers unmatched softness and elegance, for those cooler evenings out.
Fit Matters: Tailored Autumn Suit Essentials
Autumn calls for layered dressing and that means your suit should accommodate layers without looking bulky. Here are some essential fit tips from Weyridges to ensure you look on point this autumn:
- Jacket Fit: The jacket should contour to your body without feeling too tight. Make sure there’s enough room to wear a sweater or waistcoat underneath without pulling the buttons.
- Sleeve Length: With layers, you want to make sure your sleeves are slightly shorter to allow a peek of the shirt or sweater cuff underneath.
- Pant Length: Opt for a clean break at the hem, especially if you plan to wear boots or thicker-soled shoes.
- Waistcoats: A tailored waistcoat is a fantastic autumn addition. Ensure it fits snugly, without gaping, when layered over a shirt and under a jacket.
Colours for Autumn: Earthy Tones and Bold tailored Statements
Autumn is a season of rich, earthy tones, and your suiting palette should reflect this. At Weyridges, we recommend incorporating the following colours into your wardrobe:
- Burgundy and Wine: A deep burgundy suit can make a bold statement without being overpowering. These colours also pair well with black and navy accents.
- Deep Browns: Brown suits in shades of chocolate or espresso bring warmth and versatility to your wardrobe. They’re perfect for both formal and casual settings.
- Navy: Always a classic, navy suits are seasonless but can be styled with autumn accessories, such as knitted ties and pocket squares in warmer tones.
- Charcoal Grey: For a more understated look, charcoal grey suits are perfect for autumn. They can be dressed up or down and pair well with darker accessories.
- Olive Green: A subtle yet stylish choice, olive green suits are a great way to break away from the typical navy and grey while still looking sharp. A popular choice for wedding suits across Brisbane to Tweed Coast.
Top 5 Tailored Items for an Autumn Wardrobe
- The Wool Suit: A mid weight wool suit in navy or charcoal grey is versatile, perfect for cooler days while remaining breathable.
- The Tweed Blazer: Pair a tweed blazer with chinos or tailored pant for a smart casual look. Tweed’s texture adds depth and is a nod to classic British tailoring.
- The Flannel Trousers: Flannel trousers offer comfort and sophistication. Pair them with a button up shirt and a cashmere sweater for a polished yet relaxed look.
- The Waistcoat: Whether worn with a full suit or layered under a blazer, a waistcoat provides a refined, layered look.
