Beige Rock 7001 Wool Blend Suit

Beige is the suit for a warm-weather wedding, a daytime ceremony or a patio dinner. It is also the colour to pick when the groomsmen are in navy and the groom would like to be easy to find in the photos. It reads as a light, warm neutral, which is why it gets along with so many shirts.

It is 70% wool and 30% polyester, which makes it mostly wool. A pale suit shows creases and marks more than navy does, so steam it before the day and hang it up the minute you get home.

Wear it with a white or pale blue shirt and brown shoes. A navy or rust tie suits it, and so does no tie at all with the collar open for a summer ceremony.

Fit notes: This is a two-piece stock suit: jacket and trousers sold together, in regular lengths. Try it on with the shirt you will actually wear on the day, and if you land between sizes, we will tell you which way to go. Alterations are done in store in Edmonton.

Rock model 7001 also comes in cognac, if beige feels too pale for the room.
