Ignore what you've been told about "the boring grey suit!" Here at After 5 and Weddings, we believe that grey is such a versatile color, and even slight variations in shades can make it suitable for completely different moods. Grey has truly come SUCH a long way over the past several years! For the modern man, fashion has evolved into bolder shades of grey that are made more interesting with cool fabrics, fun colors paired with the suit, and intricate textures.
Although there are over 50 shades of grey, we'll break the ultra-wearable shade into three main categories for simplicity’s sake: light, mid-grey, and dark grey.
Light Grey Suit
A light shade of grey is the most casual of the group, and it’s perfect for a summer wedding or other event! The lighter shade makes sure that you won’t look too casual for a fancier event but it still offers a more relaxed vibe. It’s effortless and really delivers in approachability!
Pair it with a dark shirt for an expensive look, or even go for a patterned shirt that offers some personality to it.
Mid-Grey Suit
Quite literally, the mid-grey suit walks the line between the more socially appropriate light grey suit and the business-minded dark grey suit! A mid-grey tone is so versatile that it can fit into all sorts of dress codes, environments, and color combinations. It's hard to beat the mid-grey suit for pairing with shirts, ties, and shoes that aren't traditional. Pair the mid-grey suit with a white shirt, a black tie, and a pair of dress shoes (black or brown, your call)

Dark Grey Suit
You can make a stronger statement in the dark grey suit. If you pair it with a blue shirt, as Daniel Craig did, you have an expensive fit that demands attention. If you like to change it up, then a dark grey suit is a great option. It's a good alternative to the navy and black suits you normally see today!
