What is the Saturated Suiting trend?

Saturated Suiting: Gone are the days of the monochromatic black and white tux or the greyscale corporate pantsuit. Since today's man is more confident about his wardrobe choices and more willing to experiment with fashions that most likely would have been deemed "unmanly" several years ago, designers are going beyond tradition and infusing vibrant colors into classic menswear. Pantsuits, tuxedos and other dapper pieces are being saturated in color, from deep purple and fuchsia to sunny yellow and turquoise -- no hue is off limits.
