Men's Teal Suit

Teal suits for men can be a striking and contemporary choice for a wedding, especially if you're looking to stand out from the more traditional black suit or navy blue suit options. Given its vibrant and unique hue, a men's teal suit is especially fitting for daytime, spring, or summer weddings or those held at modern or tropical venues. The cool color also ties in with the colder months, and can bring some brightness to your fall and winter events.

However, it's essential to gauge the formality of the event. A teal men's suit can easily be styled elegantly with the right accessories, but traditional colors might still be more appropriate for ultra-formal or black-tie events.

Pairing a teal suit for men with the right shirt color creates a balanced ensemble. White is a universally flattering choice, offering a crisp and clean look against the rich teal backdrop.

Light pastel shades, especially light blues or soft pinks, can complement the vibrancy of the teal suit jacket and teal dress pants without overpowering them. A deep navy or black shirt can provide a bold contrast for a more daring combination, making the teal stand out even more.

Consider the event's setting and desired ambiance when choosing your shirt color.

A teal men's suit should fit close to the body without feeling or appearing tight, for a clean, current look. Generally, the jacket's shoulders should fit somewhat snugly without any overhang. The chest of your teal suit jacket should fit comfortably, allowing for ease of movement without appearing baggy or too tight. When buttoned, there shouldn't be pulling or gaping.

The suit sleeve length should end around the top of your wrist, allowing about a quarter-inch to half-inch of the shirt cuff to show.

Your teal dress pants should sit at your waist and offer a streamlined appearance down the leg with enough room to move around. Once you have your correct size, the hem of the pant can look great just grazing the top of the shoes, depending on your preferred break. To ensure you have the right fit, turn to our how-to hub, and to find the size for you, use our Fit Finder. You don't need any measurements with the Fit Finder and instead simply answer a few questions about yourself and the typical clothes you wear, and you get a recommended fit suggestion.

Both brown and black dress shoes can be paired with a teal suit, but the choice often depends on your personal preference. For a moodier and contemporary look, teal harmonizes beautifully with black shoes, like Oxfords and loafers.

Or, to create a playful contrast, reach for a pair of dark brown shoes to create a sense of warmth in the ensemble. However, black shoes might be more appropriate if you need to achieve a more formal appearance for the occasion.

Choosing your shoe color also helps you pick the perfect finishing pieces to tie the look together. Accessories, such as your belt, should match the color and tone of your dress shoes. From there, you can find pieces like ties or pocket squares in complementary shades to finalize your men's teal suit look.
