is a khaki suit for the groom too simple?

Lifestyle Wedding, Fashion & Beauty

hey guppies, my walima outfit will probably be tea pink and gold and I wanted some ideas for what the groom should wear. Will a khaki suit look too casual for an evening event? It looks great at white wedding/ outdoorsy/day affairs. I just don’t know if it will look good in a desi event. What other options do I have that would make the groom’s suit coordinate with me but not look out of place.
A sherwani is not an option, since he’s wearing one on the wedding.

I can’t seem to attach pictures so I’m adding some links. Please share your opinions!

Personal opinion - this color is a complete no-no for a walima function. Why not black or navy blue?

Re: is a khaki suit for the groom too simple?

what color is a no-no? pink or khaki?

Re: is a khaki suit for the groom too simple?

if it is a night function - then this light color doesnt go well ....

:frowning: im really sorry but i dont like it! i know the black suit is been there done that but it does look pretty good! or why not try a navy suit instead as Pink and navy go amazing together? :slight_smile: or a few of the below?

I've seen a navy 3 piece suit worn by a friend for his valima, looked really nice on :)

Will try to dig out a pic when I get home later on

Also, when you say khaki I keepi thinking of the khaki green colour which would just look weird. Do you mean like a light brown or beige colour. It'd look nice and summery with the pink I guess

yes i mean beige, not army green! I agree that that would look plain weird.
My other option was a light grey suit like the ones sohni649 posted.

i think it would look great! but a khaki suit in terms of the color, not the material, because that would be too casual.
this option is perfect- http://www.groomsoldseparately.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/tiffany-blue-and-tan.jpg
love the crisp white shirt with maybe a pale pink/gold patterened tie.

i don’t think grey would work but i second everyone’s thought on navy blue. i think that could look great too.

why cant grey work? pink and grey look so pretty together and there are so many shades of grey to choose from!! :wub:

Re: is a khaki suit for the groom too simple?

i feel like grey would have worked better with the pink if the colors in my clothes and the general decor leaned more towards silver rather than gold.

Re: is a khaki suit for the groom too simple?

same! haha im going to keep it as an option for the walima i think :p

also, what is ur man's complextion like? u dont want to put him in something that might make him look drab!!

Re: is a khaki suit for the groom too simple?

Khaki/beige and other light colored suits are a complete no-no when it comes to formal evening events (especially when the guy himself is the groom!!!!!).

Black, grey, or navy blue are the best options.

He happens to look good in all the colors discussed above :P - makes the choosing part even more tough! I guess I'll scratch out the khaki suit option.
I think I'll change my theme to pink and silver, including my outfit too. I'll be wearing gold for all the other events anyway, so that would be a refreshing change.

^^ I like that idea!! :smiley: :wub:

My brother wore a grey suit on his walima with a pink tie, while my sister in law was in baby pink and the grey/pink combo went well together.

Khaki

Was pink one of the options?:disgust: :smack:

Re: is a khaki suit for the groom too simple?

I meant did you mean pink as a walima color is a no-no or a khaki suit. Obviously, a pink suit was NOT an option.
