GREEN ACCESSORIES
Green can be a tricky color to work with, though, as it can
sometimes be tough to find the exact shade a groom-to-be
has in mind. For that reason, green doesn’t always get picked
up, Elkus says, but many men turn to green accents as a col-
orful alternative, such as a green tie.
“It’s more of a sage as opposed to an olive,” Elkus
describes of the shade of green that men tend to go for.
There’s also the concern of what full-on green could
look like next to a wedding dress.
“When the bride starts thinking about an entire
sea of green, she tends to go elsewhere and look
for green accessories instead,” Elkus adds.
BLUE, GRAY AND TAN SUITS
While black has historically been the
top-selling solid color suit, navy blue
is now “far and away the best seller,”
according to Elkus. “The next group
of colors [after navy] come in at
about the same rate are charcoal gray,
medium gray and indigo blue, or a light gray
and tan.”
At a recent wedding show he attended, Elkus says the
overwhelming trends in the spotlight included combinations
of navy and cobalt blue, along with a mix of black and silver.
