Dresses to Match a Teal Suit

8 replies

My husband and I have a formal dinner and a day out coming up. He is wearing a teal suit to both. What colour dress would match best? Would be looking for a ball gown/evening dress and a lighter, summer dress? Thank you!

Teal would match teal.

I would think turquoise or a strongish pink.

Like this:

Saloni pink

Or this:

Saloni blue (with bits of teal?).

Or

Saloni print

It’s purely by chance they’re all the same designer - I just picked three summery things that a person might enjoy wearing. Though I’ve never attempted dressing to match a man’s suit. All are silk.

With a teal suit ..

deep teal - simple style evening
jewelled teal - simple style evening
Soft pink - pattern, plain or floral day dress
deep dark red - plain or pattern evening
dark navy - plain evening
black velvet - plain evening
cream - plain, pattern or floral day dress
blush - plain or floral day dress

If you want to properly match, I'd suggest wearing something very neutral like black or white, and having him repeat that with his shirt or tie or some other accessory.

ETA - I don't know why I quoted your OP - I hate it when people do that! Sorry.

Ooh, they're lovely, @ANagsHead! (They should be, that's nearly my whole budget for a month ...)

@GarlicStyle that tartan one! Gorgeous. I have no idea what or when but I need an event in my life where I can wear that!
