First off, let me say I've been browsing and find this to be a wonderful website. This is my first post. I've searched and found no answer to my question, so please forgive me if this has already been addressed.
Let me also point out that I'm mostly colorblind, so matching/coordinating is a total pain for me.
With that said, I have a nice fitting very dark gray double breasted 2-piece suit. It has very subtle stripes that are peach and teal (so I've been told... I can't pick out those colors lol). I like the look of a 3-piece suit, but I know it'd be pretty much impossible to "match" a vest to this suit. I think most would agree if I attempted to get a dark gray vest to match it'd never look right.
With the suit I've described, is that something I could get some other color of vest to wear with it from time to time or should I stick with it being a 2-piece? If I can get a vest, do I match it to the stripe colors? Should I wear a matching tie with it, or is that too "tuxedo" looking?
I guess I see three options here (four if I count just not getting a vest):
-Match the vest to the suit stripes and wear whatever tie I'd normally wear.
-Match a vest/tie combo.
-Go with a more neutral vest (like a solid black or whatever) and wear whatever tie I'd normally wear with that suit.
I have some friends that normally help me match/coordinate things when I go shoppping, but they don't have a clue about 3-piece suits with an odd vest. So any imput is welcome.
Thanks!
