The Best Green Wedding Suits in Every Shade

Feel like bringing a pop of color to your closet? A green wedding suit is a great route to go. The color has a number of variations that are staples throughout different seasons (tweed in the fall and winter, for example) and can be a good fit year-round if you style it the right way. For grooms, it's a great way to stand out at the altar, and for guests of all varieties, it can provide a unique spin on weddingwear and look right at home at an outdoor or garden ceremony.

Can You Wear a Green Suit to a Wedding?

Absolutely. If you're a groom you can generally wear whatever color suit or tuxedo you want (it's your wedding, after all). If you're a guest, green (barring a fluorescent hue) is usually an acceptable color for a suit. As always, I advise you to check in with the couple first to make sure it's not the same color the groom is wearing, as that can be a bit of a faux pas.

Tips for Choosing a Green Wedding Suit

• Know Your Season: Not every shade of green works for every season. If you're primarily going to be wearing your green suit in the autumn or winter, go with a darker, earthier tone or an emerald one for the winter. For spring and summer, go with softer tones and pastels.
• Check With The Wedding Party: If you're attending a wedding but aren't a part of the wedding party, you may want to ping someone ahead of the date to make sure a green suit will be okay. If it's the color the groom or groomsmen will be wearing you may want to just save this one for the next wedding you attend.
• Feel Out the Fabric: Just like not every shade of green works for every season, not every fabric does either. Save green tweeds and flannels for the colder months of the year, and go with cottons and linens for spring and summer.

What to Wear With a Green Wedding Suit

Broadly your safest bet for complementing a green suit is going to be brown shoes and a brown belt. You can coordinate the shade of brown to correspond to the shade of green, though these days I'd personally advise darker brown dress shoes and loafers for any and all wedding fits in which the color is applicable. The way you style colored accessories with your green suit is going to vary based on the tone of green you're wearing, but broadly you should lean into browns and reds. Those will always be a safe bet with a green suit.
