Is This Silver Suit Out Of Style?

[SuperRick]

Silverhawk, very nice.

Okay, so hypothetically if I keep this suit, what color shirt should I wear with it? I have a bunch of shirts, all except black which seems like the best color to wear with it. It would be to church, and with a tie.

I'm wondering o nwhat occasions can you wear a silver suit like that?

 

[SuperRick]

I can always wear it on Father's Day. I'm a dad of four and on Father's Day I can get away with doing whatever the heck I want.

The colors are pretty close (to me), he's got black buttons on his though. Maybe I should switch out the buttons...

If you keep it, just pair it with a light blue or white shirt, but don't go black (see http://www.styleforum.net/t/252146/black-shirt-tie or any of the other threads about black dress shirts)...

Thanks for the tip, Jawboneofa! I don't want to look gangster, that's for sure. I have a nice white shirt I can wear with it, but my blue is kind of medium blue, not really light blue.

What about turquoise or pink?

Guys!  Nighthawk stole my suit!

With the colour combination one could considers a good outfit?

I wore something similar back in my pimpin' days...

There should be a contrast in color when you wear a dark suit so you don't look washed out, pair it with a light colored shirt/or tie.

That makes sense to me, "SilverHawk" doesn't look very good in the silver shirt and silver tie with the silver suit.

Okay, I got the suit today and it's definitly going back. Too much John Travolta/Saturday Night Fever for me.

I'm exchanging it for a black shiny sharkskin. I liked the quality of the suit, it's just the color was terrible on me.

In your original post, you noted that you are white.

Could you elaborate?

Try a suit from H&M or even *gasp* Express, you can get them in the $150-200 range, they are very modern cut and some even have that certain "sheen" to 'em. If your going for that attention-grabbing look-at-me look I think they would suffice.

I'm a light skinned (warm skin tone actually) caucasian. I know skin tone matters when it comes to colors, that's why I mentioned it.
