How to dress a Bridesman

I have a Bridal party of 6. Five are women and one is my best guy friend. I've decided to go with the colour Gem for dresses and all of my ladies have dresses! But I'm really stuck on what to do with my Bridesman. I don't want him to match the Groomsmen too much. Ideally I would find a gem dress shirt for me but I'm at a loss to find one because the colour is so specific. What did you do? Should I have him go with Neutrals and gem accessories? Go with my groom and get matching Groomsmen attire? Custom make a gem shirt?? HELP LOL

    Another option is a teal suit or sports coat/dinner jacket.

    Hahaha I totally forgot to specify! Gem is a dark teal. So a beautiful blue-green. I like the boutonniere idea a lot! A nice light coloured shirt for summer and some teal accessories could also look nice maybe?

    What is "gem?" I always find these made up colour names funny.

    If you're going the shirt route, I don't think you need to completely match your bridesmaid dresses. Trying to find an affordable yet comfortable shirt in the exact shade of those made up colours would be a nightmare lol. Just find a shirt that coordinates with it. Common shirt colours include white, grey, navy, light blue, pink, purple, and brown but many retailers also sell seasonal colours like green, red etc (just don't get anything that would look like it belongs in an 80s club lol).

    Also, if your groomsmen are coordinating with your bridesmaids, nothing wrong with him dressing similar to a groomsmen. You can always switch some small details to identify him as the bridesman like having a boutonniere to match your bridesmaid corsages instead of a pocket square for the rest of the gents.
