Green suit — Lords of Wool (2024)

We make the best green suits and tuxedos online.

While not the most common suit color, the green suit’s popularity has risen in recent years due to its rare color and ability to stand out in social events. It can be as simple as a dark forest or hunter green color in a traditional worsted wool suit. Or it can be more rustic in olive and moss green in tweeds or corduroy suits. In summer, you can find green linen suits blended with silk, wool or other materials for the warmer weather to give it a unique texture. For black-tie events, an emerald green dinner jacket can look exceptional. Or you can get a bottle green velvet dinner jacket tuxedo for a subtle but striking evening ensemble.

Dark forest green suit

For those who want green but without it looking “muddy”, a dark green suit in a hunter or forest green can be a fantastic way to stand out at an event. Depending on how dark the green suit, it can blend in naturally alongside dark navy and charcoal suits in the evening. We recommend this for a rustic wedding, perhaps outdoors, too.

Olive green suit

An olive green suit has many subjective tones, but they will all have their roots in a more rustic and military color. Olive drab color has long been used in military uniforms, with more formal dress adopting the color, too. It also can be often found in sporting clothing for hunting tweeds and comfy corduroy and moleskin fabrics. These were made to match the colors of the countryside and acted as a sort of camouflage while wearing hunting clothing. Today, you don’t need to be overly concerned with that, but keep in mind an olive green suit will be more casual and not really appropriate in more formal situations, like an interview or in court.

Emerald green suit

If you want a bold, red-carpet-ready look, an emerald green suit or tuxedo will be a stand-out garment. Given most black-tie outfits are indeed black, emerald green makes a statement in the room. This jewel tone green can be worn as a suit, just a dinner jacket with black trousers or as an entire 2-piece tuxedo with black satin facings. We think it’s a fun alternative that we’ve seen more interest over the recent years.

Lime mint green suit

Sometimes called a mint green suit, a lime green suit is best worn during the summer months, which matches the pastel palette to the warmer weather. A lime green mint suit also is often found in resort wear collections, as its colors evoke the notions of being on vacation in tropical paradises. Often found in linen, cotton or even some types of wool, we think keeping it simple is best and wearing it with a crisp linen shirt and casual footwear like loafers, sandals or even espadrilles.

Green plaid suit

Often found in tweed suits, a green plaid suit can incorporate a variety of checks and windowpanes in different sizes and layers. While many of these would be loud and bold, a simple windowpane plaid could be worn as a full suit or split into a sport coat with the trousers worn with a sweater or navy blazer. Look for tweeds and flannels in the winter and linen-wool-silk blends in the summer.

Green and black tuxedo

For those looking to stand out and go the non-traditional route, a green tuxedo jacket and black tuxedo formal trousers is a great way to start. It can be an emerald green or even a deep hunter green. Add a black satin lapel in either peak or shawl collar and you have a tuxedo that will be unlike anyone else at the next black tie event you find yourself attending.

Green velvet suit

Don’t expect green velvet to be loud, instead it’s rather subtle. Often called bottle green velvet, this dinner jacket (worn with black tuxedo formal trousers) is dark and much like its namesake filled with a dark liquid. The color comes thru in the light at certain angles. Perfect for holiday parties or just paired with black jeans and a simple white shirt or black turtleneck.

Neon green suit

Rock stars only! Be bright and bold with a neon green suit and you’ll be the center of attention in any room. Not for the sartorially shy, a neon green suit we recommend keeping on a contemporary slimmer cut with simple styling (no need to go overboard, you’re wearing neon).

Green double breasted suit

A double breasted suit is technically more casual than a single breasted suit, but it’s seen nowadays as more formal because of the peak lapels and its rarity. A green double breasted suit will be rarer still, but add a touch of elegance to beautiful drape. We think this looks best in a dark worsted wool.

Green linen suit

Perfect for summer, the green linen suit often comes in a blend of wool (to help with drape) and other fibers to help it feel softer and not wrinkle as much. Still, linen has a great texture to it that brings a slubby feel and irregular coloration. We recommend a slightly looser fit as these suits tend to not stretch as much and it lets the air circulate better in warm weather.
