As for the shirt, a white one always does the trick, but the patterned one we featured above also works. Now, to pull off the Unsuit for your wedding idea, you’ll need to keep the look dressy or, as you suggested, you’ll look underdressed. To do that, keep the top and bottom in the same color family.

What shoes to wear with shorts? Three style ideas to rock your shorts
The elbow patch color being blue doesn’t make a difference. We didn’t just recommend white shirts to try to stifle your creativity. We actually really do believe it’s your best option. You’ve got enough going on with elbow patches and blue shoes. Don’t go overboard and add another color of shirt. There are literally millions of combinations you could come up with if you start with only one garment, like a jacket.
I hope the chart is easy to understand. On the left we have the pant color and the right, the shoe color. If you can wear a given color of shoe with a color of pants the color is present. Upon arriving in the French capital, the first thing I noticed was what appeared to be a city-wide ban on color. It seemed like nine out of ten Parisians were clad in head-to-toe black. But upon closer inspection, I realized there was color in the mix—navy!
Vary colors
That said, here’s our advice on all shirt and tie combinations. Our general rule of thumb is to make sure the tie is darker than the shirt. Your second option would break this rule, so we’d suggest sticking with option 1.
All of the vest options you mentioned should work. The only situation in which we’d rule one out is if you planned to wear brown shoes. As you can see here, brown shoes with a gray suit can be a really sharp look, we wouldn’t recommend combining a black vest with brown shoes.
Blue Blazer and White Pants
It is very important that you pair the black suit jacket with the right color of pants. Not all shades of gray work well with black especially in formal outfits. The jacket can also be done casually with jeans, but we like chinos for this look. Look for chinos that bring out an accent color in the jacket. If you like gray pants with your gray jacket, that’s fine, just make sure there is enough contrast in the shade. If the jacket is charcoal gray make sure the pants are light enough to create some contrast.
Wear it with too light of a color, like a pink shirt, and the contrast is jarring. The problem is, black doesn’t really harmonize with any colors. Black Tie has a specific set of guidelines and the outfit you described would not count. If the event is black tie you should wear either a full matching tuxedo or a combination of dinner jacket and formal pants like something you’d see here. Here at Black Lapel we have a thing we call Two-Thirds Tuesday when we wear 2/3 of a three piece suit (i.e. the jacket and vest from a three piece suit with non-matching pants). It’s a tricky move, though, when the pants and vest don’t match the jacket.
But also, you can check out this unsuit for further inspiration. A charcoal gray jacket and trousers is an excellent choice for just starting out! Just because Navy is so common for a first suit doesn’t mean it’s for everyone.
This otherwise black and white palette lets the burgundy be the star of the show. The more unorthodox the color, the simpler the styling, so keep it simple with this suit and you’re home free. This will look awkward but not for the reason you might think, Ryan. Charcoal gray and black is a weak combination because it lacks contrast. It’ll look like you’re wearing black pants and a jacket that wanted to be black but just couldn’t quite get there. To fix this problem something’s got to get lighter.
