Suit pair with gold tie dilemma
Hi there! I’m attending a friends wedding around a week from now as one of the groomsmen and we are all wearing a gold tie.
Specifically, it’s this one:

I was recently gifted my first and only pair of a linen suit and matching trousers:

The issues I’m facing are:
1) I’m not sure if this color would match well with the suit
2) The groom is wearing a white tux and I feel like it’s a bit taboo to wear something close to his color
Any advice/recommendations from yall? I have a dark brown skin tone (can post pics if needed)

Groom’s suit for reference
It's hard to tell about the colors of the tie and suit without seeing them IRL, together. It seems like it might work with a light blue shirt, but I dunno.
What are the other groomsmen wearing?
Dark grey, blue, navy so far
For the suit
I'm not sure you really need to worry about some gigantic faux pas given that the groomsmen are wearing $10 ties. (I don't mean that as a criticism of the couple's choices...just that maybe you don't need to be overly worried about offending them)
LOL honestly fair point
yeah, those are going to be safer, more conservative colors. But getting a new suit in a week is not easy, and it will cost you.
Precisely… I was wondering if there’s any sort of shirt that would go well with the stone color suit my family got me and the gold tie
I'd try light blue
Got it, will try on tmrw and post back with the combo 🤙🏽 thanks for the advice sir
yw. good luck.
Is there not a dress code as a groomsman?
It sounds like the dress code is "wear this gold tie"
With a suit
^^ yep it’s a gold tie, doesn’t necessarily have to be the one in the link tho
He just gave that option to be budget friendly — it can be any gold tie or variation of it as long as it’s mostly gold in color
oh, then you should be able to find something that works with your suit. maybe a little darker gold.
Tie + suit, will post light blue soon
Do yall think it’s worth it for a darker gold tie with a lighter shirt?
Try the same tie with a light blue shirt. I think most people here will vote against the black shirt.
Just sent the pants for tailoring and didn’t have anyone to take this pic
Would this count as light blue?
@braindrops would any of these work?
This one is great
It’ll look especially good with the blue and white stripe shirt
Found this one, I think it’s really nice and love the design
Do you have any shirt color combos for this? And I’ll get a simple pocket tie
Or perhaps it’s not gold enough :/
It’s very nice. Ultimately, I can’t answer if it’s gold enough. I’d recommend sending it to your contact with the wedding for approval
Yeah def reach out to them before you change anything
Or buy anything
Def this one over the original one, but make sure they are good with that
Ideally you should find something that you could wear again, so it's not a waste of money for just one event, imo
got it thanks yall i appreciate it 🙂
