What colour suit for DH if I'm wearing navy dress?

Just that really. We're going to a wedding and he needs a new suit. Is it too matchy-matchy if he goes for navy as well?

Absolutely fine, I think - you'll look very smart!

It never occurred to me to coordinate with DP, it takes me long enough to coordinate myself!!

I honestly thought it was customary for a husband to co-ordinate with his wife - the last wedding we went to, I made him wear a pink tie to match my dress! Poor DH

Navy will be fine. Otherwise maybe a dark grey?

I would go with Grey or Navy

It may well be customary, I've no idea.

I hate the performance of trying to find a wedding outfit as it never "feels like me" IYSWIM,. I always feel like I'm playing dress up and can't walk in heels.

I'm sure you'll both look great.

I've never head of this so called custom!
Neither has DP.
I'm sure you will look nice what ever you decide.

It's not a thing to coordinate with your partner but I am really impressed by your DP doing such sweet thing for you.
When we were going through the wedding phase DH had 2 outfits, a dark grey lounge suit bought in the John Lewis sale and a morning coat bought second hand from Littmans and after many outings replaced by a new one for our wedding. This was in the days when he had no need for a suit for work.
Those investments really paid off for him ( us) . It's a bit harder for women but I don't believe in wearing something new at every outing. I tended to have a summer wedding outfit and a winter wedding outfit .

Dark Grey or petrol blue. If your outfit is a suit too I wouldn't have him in navy. Unless you've got vibrant different coloured accessories. Even then.
