One of the leading colourways for AW24, green is building momentum in men's fashion - and it's making its way to men's suits. Why bother sticking to the classic colours when you can push the boat out and make a statement in a variety of green shades to complement any occasion?
If you're unsure where to start, read our guide to men's green suits and which shade you should be choosing depending on the event and season.
Versatility, for starters. You might be surprised at just how many occasions a green suit can be worn, thanks to their ability to be dressed up or down depending on the event. Their earthy tones - from moss, olive to sage - create a more relaxed alternative to a traditional suit in typical shades of black, grey or blue.
It's especially simple to style a men's green suit as separate pieces, which can work for a whole manner of occasions. Whether you're in need of an off-duty weekend outfit, or something a little more smart-casual, you can pair your green trousers with a variety of complementing, earth-toned pieces.
Plus, the colour green is rooted in symbolism. While it does conjure notions of money and jealousy, green also symbolises nature and new beginnings: think of your new green suit as a way to confidently channel optimism and uniqueness through your clothing.
Emerald green: Perfect for the festive season, emerald green is a partywear staple thanks to its jewel tone. A lavish, modern-day tuxedo in vibrant green is your answer to feeling bejewelled this season and beyond.
Olive green: A versatile all-rounder that suits any time of year, olive green suits are best worn to more casual and semi-formal occasions. Easily adaptable to the workplace and business trips too, an olive green suit can complement any environment.
Forest green: A shade best kept for autumn and winter, forest green suits are a sophisticated choice that exude warmth and depth. Perfect for cooler months, this colour pairs well with earthy tones like browns and tans, as well as crisp whites and soft greys for contrast.
Mint or sage green: There's a green suit for every season, of course. Mint or sage green suits were made to be worn during the sunnier months of spring and summer. Choose from these shades in linen or cotton blends when heading to a formal occasion during the day, like your friend's wedding.
Formal occasions: In need of a suit that will last all day and see you through the wee hours? You can't go wrong with a green suit, such as a contemporary tuxedo in a luxurious wool blend that pairs perfectly with a crisp white shirt or a trustworthy roll-neck jumper.
The office and business events: Inject some colour into your corporate environment and stand out from your colleagues with a suit in shades of moss or sage green. Of course, you can keep it professional with a complementing tie and your smartest brogues.
Casual events: Off for drinks with friends, or perhaps in need of a smart-casual outfit for a date night? Opt for a men's green blazer with laidback chinos for the best in relaxed, contemporary dressing.
A green suit is a failsafe choice for any man's wardrobe, offering up a great alternative to traditional colours no matter the occasion.
