That’s always an interesting challenge! You’ll want to avoid trying to match blacks as there’s a better chance of being hit by lightening. There are just too many shades of black.
You’re lucky though. Black is the universal donor of suits and you have a few options for a wedding.
I’d try a pair of flat charcoal or gray dress pants.
Here are some possible combinations:
Very slick: Charcoal pants / Charcoal pinstripe shirt / Thin black tie / Black blazer / Black belt / Black shoes
Very slick – option 2: Gray pants / Gray checkered shirt / Thin black tie / Black blazer / Black belt / Black shoes
Colorful: Charcoal pants / Matte purple shirt / Purple patterned tie / Black blazer / Black belt / Black shoes
Colorful – option 2: Charcoal pants / Deep blue shirt / Light blue patterned tie / Black blazer / Black belt / Black shoes
Bottom line: Go with charcoal or dark gray pants and you’ve got no worries. Skinny black tie would be the killer touch.
