Five Suits To See You Through Any Autumn Event

Autumn is the season of cool air, changing leaves, and an event calendar that fills up fast — from weddings and races to work functions and date nights. And if you’re a bigger bloke, finding the right suit that fits well and looks sharp shouldn't be a challenge.

Here are five must-have autumn suits that will see you through every event on your calendar:

1. The Classic Navy Suit – For Every Occasion

A navy suit is your autumn all-rounder. Whether you’re heading to a semi-formal wedding or a business lunch, this suit brings versatility and timeless appeal.

Why it works:

Flatters every body shape
Pairs effortlessly with shirts in seasonal tones like burgundy, rust, and olive
Can be dressed up with a tie or down with a roll-neck knit

Style tip: Add a overcoat for a refined autumn look.

2. The Textured Charcoal Suit – Made for Cooler Days

Charcoal suits are a smart, slightly softer alternative to black. A textured weave — like herringbone or wool blend — adds depth and warmth, ideal for autumn.

Perfect for:

Corporate functions
Evening events
Outdoor weddings

Fit Focus: Our suits are designed with extra room in the shoulders, chest, and thighs, ensuring all-day comfort for big and tall men.

3. The Statement Check Suit – For Race Day & Bold Events

Autumn race days and dressy social events are the perfect excuse to make a statement. A check suit adds a modern edge while still feeling polished.

Why it stands out:

On-trend yet classic
Great with a simple white or black shirt to let the pattern shine
Available in tailored fits for larger builds

Pro tip: Pair with tan shoes and a neutral tie to balance the bold pattern.

4. The Earth-Toned Suit – Embrace the Season

Colours like deep green, rust, and tobacco are autumn essentials. A suit in one of these earth tones shows confidence and style awareness.

Ideal for:

Garden weddings
Creative or relaxed events
Date nights

At Johnny Bigg, our earth-tone suits come in inclusive sizes and thoughtful cuts that give you both comfort and structure.

5. The Black Dinner Suit – For Autumn Formal Affairs

When the invite says black tie, nothing beats a well-fitted tuxedo. Cooler evenings make autumn the perfect season for sharp black dinner suits.

Style notes:

Go classic with a white shirt and black bow tie
Choose satin lapels for an elevated finish
Don’t forget polished dress shoes

Our big and tall dinner suits are designed to deliver a sleek silhouette without compromising on fit.
