| My colors are chocolate and sage with champagne accents. My fiancé did not want a brown tux, so we went with black and the groomsmen are wearing espresso vests with the black tux, the dads are wearing a sage vest with the black tuxes and the ushers are wearing a toffee vest with the black tux. All of the above have a paisley tie that matches the vest. My fiancé is wearing a black tux with a diamond white vest and tie since that is the color of my dress. My suggestion is not to try to mix too many colors in one. I was able to use all my colors and differentiate the guys from each other so they don't all look the same. If you find the right place black and brown really do look sharp together. The brown suits they have now are really nice, the problem it making sure they match the girls dresses. Anyway this post is forever long, but really i would take a swatch of each of the colors in the girls' dress with you to see which would work better black or brown. And the biggest thing I know you probably don't want to hear this but, your fiancé probably wants to look good for you as much as you want to look good so make sure he likes what is picked out.

This is obviously just my opinion, but I would never put black and brown together. They don't match.

| Black is a neutral, so you could go for the black suits and have them accent with chocolate and blue ties/pocket squares. Or you could do cream colored suits, maybe just for the groom?

| I have chocolate as one of my colors as well & it is the color the girls will be wearing. I did find at a bridal fair that most tux shops are adding an Expresso brown color to their tux list. I REALLY wanted to go with the Expresso color for the guys but Men's Wearhouse only had black tuxes & since money was an issue for us, we chose to stay with them. I would definitely look into the Expresso color....it's not a milky chocolate color but more of a dark chocolate color & it looks fabulous!

If your wedding is informal then your groomsmen could wear Navy blue jackets and Khaki trousers. White shirts with Chocolate and light blue striped ties. And of course Chocolate brown oxfords and matching socks.
If your wedding is formal then get the guys to wear black formal suits and black ties, or bow ties if you prefer. Don't try to match the groomsmen to the bridesmaids. A brown tuxedo would be ugly and so '80s.
Just my humble opinion.

| Do you want traditional tuxes or a formal suit? If you want a tux, my suggestion would be maybe a light blue shirt with a nice chocolate brown tie maybe with a light blue design on it. If you are opting for a formal suit, what about a chocolate brown suit with a blue pinstripe? I don't know if you could find one, but it sounds pretty hot!
