Hi everyone! I'm going to a formal wedding party, and I have a gray pinstriped suit. I want a bold look (ie. not the boring "white shirt + blue necktie + gray suit" kind of combination). I'm considering a French blue (royal blue) shirt. Will it go together well??

What other shirt colours you think would go well with gray pinstriped suit to make a stand-out look??
Neckties or booties suggestions will also be appreciated

Thanks for helping!

What color grey?

I'd avoid a bold look for a wedding party - unless you're the one who's getting married, you should stand out as little as possible.

Also....pin striped suits are really more appropriate for business, but if that's all
you have it's fine.
