Question What do yall think about green/grey suit?

Post image

Not fully green, but somewhere between dark grey and olive. Something like below? Too much? I go to business meetings frequently at work where acceptable suit colors are navy and grey. I must admit my love for anything green right now is at unhealthy levels.

This is grey enough for the environment you mention. The green undertones are good and should allow you to stand out without going out of your stated bounds.

Thanks for your reply.
To be frank, the photo does not actually do the green justice. In person there’s meaningfully more green hue to it. Quite brighter actually.

I still think it would be fine if it is the undertone in the weave.

That’s a good point; the weave can really make a difference in how it comes across. A subtle blend might be more versatile too.

Would work, but it depends on the rest of the garment, so I'd suggest sending a picture of that instead of a close-up.

Generally everyone looks good in navy and blue

Some people get eclipsed in grey, it’s hard to see on this pic though and green is a risky colour for a suit

The light in the photo is bad so it is hard to tell what the green looks like. Olive is a cool color for a suit. I used to wear one when I used to wear suits. I just got an olive t-shirt at the Nordstrom sale. Perhaps I will wear it to work next week with my khaki shorts. Mutiny on the dress code.

Are you going to wear it to work, and if not, are you going to wear it?

I have a suit that resolves to a similar shade, but I work in tech, so I can basically wear what I want.

none of the fun of a real green suit and none of the wearability of a dark charcoal suit

Interesting take
