Gentlemen, hang up the black tux and go for a sharp grey suit. It's kinder to the tropical heat, looks amazing in an outdoor setting and can be worn for both the boardroom and ballroom. Here are more reasons for you to go grey (and we don't mean the stuff you read in 50 Shades of Grey!)
Functionality
Not only do grey suits look great, they pretty much match any shirt colour or pattern. Also, owing to the fact that the suit isn't too light or dark, you'll have the option of going for either brown or black shoes.
British Vibe
Grey suits have always given off a rather prominent British vibe and while that may not exactly be your cup of tea, but we know that the ladies will dig it. Pair the grey suit with some sexy stubble on your face, and you'll be a happy, happy man.
Gratitude
Your groomsmen will also thank you for choosing the grey suit. Once they realise how incredibly versatile the colour is for everyday wear in they will be very, very grateful. And who knows, you may get an extra special bachelor's night out with them before the big day.
Variety
Don't settle for the standard light grey suit before your wedding, you have dozens of options: Cloud grey, battleship grey, ash grey, slate grey, charcoal grey … the options are endless! Don't settle on the first one you see, because with grey suits, there are bound to be at least two more you may fancy.
Timelessness
When you look back 10, 20 years in the future, you're going to want something that looks good then but at the same time something that holds many memories for you. Timelessness is one of the key words used to describe grey suits. A grey suit, if made of good quality, will last you many years and will look as good as when you first put in on.
