Bordeaux, merlot and burgundy
A red suit is a statement, but in the right shades it is surprisingly elegant. Muted reds such as bordeaux, merlot and burgundy look deep and refined rather than loud. They suit evening occasions, weddings and anywhere you want to stand out without overdoing it.
In its autumn/winter 2026 collection, Holland & Sherry shows red as a mid-red herringbone two-piece worn under a navy overcoat, and as merlot trousers with a tan gun club check jacket.
These looks come from the current Holland & Sherry collection. All the cloths are here in our showroom, and we make every look to your measurements.
We make your red suit or combination to your measurements. Together we choose the shade of red that suits you and the details that make it look understated or striking.
Herringbone on fine wool gives red depth and texture, while gabardine makes merlot look rich and calm. Velvet and flannel also suit shades of red in autumn and winter.
White and pale pink shirts, dark ties and black or dark brown shoes keep the look elegant. An overcoat in navy or charcoal provides the calm counterpoint.
