When it comes to suits, there are so
many colours for the groom and his groomsmen to choose from. Unlike
brides who traditionally choose white dresses, grooms can choose from a
wide range of colours. They can also decide to mix the blazer with a
different colour of pants.
With most grooms now also having second outfits, we have highlighted some of our favourite suit colours below.

This became a clear favourite for grooms
and groomsmen in 2014. From the red carpet to the wedding day, white
was no longer a colour reserved exclusively for the bride. The common
trends have been tuxedos with white or black shawl lapels, generally
paired with matching white or black bow ties.

The classic black tuxedo will always be a
favourite. Asides it being easy to coordinate for the groomsmen
(especially when you don’t want your friends to invest in new suits),
the look is sophisticated yet not overwhelming for the eyes.

The classic black suit is generally
complemented with a matching black bow tie, a white bow tie or sometimes
with a coloured bow tie matching the bridesmaids’ dresses.

Grey might well be the ‘underdog’ when
it comes to choices for the groom’s suit, we don’t see that many grooms
in it. It however compliments most colours nicely as it is versatile and
can easily be combined anything from a black bow tie or even a bright
pink necktie!

There are so many different shades and
combinations to choose from. In recent times, the most common has been
the three-piece midnight blue suit. We have also seen grooms in light
and electric blue suits. The choice of what shade could be determined by
the colour theme of the wedding among other factors. Grooms can also
decide to pair their blue suits with grey waistcoats or matching blue
ones.

Now that we have covered off the more
standard colours, the following are a few colours you probably didn’t
think you could wear on your wedding!
Green

When we say green, we don’t mean light
or lemon green! With most colours, the particular shade will determine
whether it is ‘acceptable’ or not. Unless you are out to colour block
(which by the way is very 2013!), choose accessories that will tone down
the suit colour. Also ensure that the bridesmaids are not wearing a
conflicting colour.

This is another colour we haven’t seen
that many grooms wear. However, a few have been able to pull off the
look. As with the green suit, ensure that the bridesmaids dresses and
the wedding colours are not conflicting. Also choose accessories that
will complement the look.

Yes. Red!
This colour is definitely not for the
faint hearted. However, with the right fit and colour combination, this
is a great way for the groom and his men to stand out. It is however
important to ensure that this does not conflict with the colour of the
bridesmaids dresses.

This is a safer option if you decide not
to go for the one of the more popular choices. With the cream suit,
choosing brightly coloured accessories may be a good idea in order to
sharpen the entire look.
