Dapper in blue

Ha v e y o u n o – ticed that blue, not black, is now the choice colour for men’s wedding suit? Blue has suddenly become the new black for fashionable men. It’s also a favourite colour for groomsmen.

Aside weddings, Blue suits are also suitable for any special event. Blue suit helps to give a man a heavy dose of dapper and deliciousness. Knowing what to wear with a blue suit can be a difficult and sometimes boring task. When going for the blue suit, there are a couple of things to bear in mind.

Shade of blue

Once you’ve mastered your suit style, it’s important to understand the shade of blue that suits you. Yes, different shades look good on some and not on others. Just try on a few blue to get the shade that suits you best.

Tie or Bowtie?

Whether you opt for a tie or bow tie, make sure you coordinate your wedding colours smartly. You can keep it classic in a bow tie if going for a special event. Also add a nice touch by going for deep colour contrasting ties. A solid blue, red or gray tie will never steer you wrong. Your tie is your statement piece, so don’t be afraid to get a little crazy with it.

Shirts and tie contrast

Something as simple as a blue suit and a white Oxford shirt can set you apart from the crowd. Epic white shirt just enhances the blue within you. Stick with a crisp white shirt, or a lighter shade of pink or blue. These colours create a little contrast, allowing your blue suit to pop.

Shoes

We’ve noticed a popular choice is brown instead of the usual black. To break out of the mold a little, choose a pair of dark brown suede double monks. Black and brown shoes are both acceptable. Lace-ups or loafers are fine.

Accessories

Going for a bright colour and/or a bright pattern socks is so contemporary and fun. They peek out when you’re dancing. You can add a beige pocket square for a perfect finish.
