What color goes with an olive green suit?
Can you mix and match olive green suit separates?
Can an olive suit be worn casually?
Hello All,
I am attending a wedding next month (early) and decided to buy a suit as renting does not seem worth it (will have use a few months after also). I have found an Olive suit that I like very much (see pictures) and I am thinking of getting this one.
The salesman informed me that they are the best sellers and a good choice for weddings as it is something different. As he said, "You will see all navy & grey suits, and about 3 olive ones". NOTE: Yes he is a salesman and is trying to sell. However, easily could have been honest given my sizes were available in grey and navy and also the same price. He is getting the sale either way.
The real reason for this post is I am a plus one for my girlfriend's cousin's wedding. I have never met any of her family and on this day, it will all be at once and somewhat overwhelming. I am aware this day is ALL about the bride and groom but I believe I am correct in saying some attention may be on me as I am the "new guy". (obviously only from her immediate family)
Would any of you lean towards a more "blend in with the crowd" suit given the circumstances or would you go for the one you like the most though it may stand out.? Also......in general, is Olive bad for a wedding?
Thanks in advance for any advice.

Styling tips for an olive-green suit
Need help styling/color coordinating a suit!
I fell in love with a dark olive green suit and wore it to a wedding. I chose to stay traditional (white dress shirt, black tie, black shoes) and it turned out great! I usually go for blue and navy in my day-to-day, so styling colors with green is not my strong suit.
I need some ideas to change the suit up for a graduation being held in August, regarding color suggestions for shirts, ties and pocket squares (other than black and white) that would go well. The event isn’t so formal so I wouldn’t mind switching the trousers for a different color.
Here are some ideas I had in mind but I’d appreciate any recommendations😃
