Going for combinations and contrasts are always fun, and men can have it at its best with a three-piece outfit. It gives you the benefit of playing with the colours in myriad ways and mismatch the patterns as per your choice. For instance, either keep trousers and jackets in the same colour or keep the waistcoat in contrast.
Patterned shirt with plain waistcoat and trousers and vice-versa will also look good. You can sport the look for all the wedding ceremonies.
