I agree with going with a suit. That way, it distinguishes him from the groomsmen & ushers. And, instead of him wearing a boutinerre that matches them, maybe a color in the wedding theme, but perhaps a different type of flower, or color separate from them.
Your wedding is your day, your way. I think it's wonderful that you chose someone close to you and not going with just "any" female to put in a dress.
Kudos to you and if anyone has a problem with that, send them to me! Congrats & Good Luck!

A suit or tux that compliments but is still different from what the groomsmen are wearing. If possible, encorporate the wedding colors into his tie or something.
OR if the groom has a female friend or sister, put her on the bride's side with the other women in the bridesmaids dress and put the male "bridesmaid" on the groom's side in the same suiting as the other men.

If you are in formalwear, he would wear a tux- but skip the colored bow tie. Have his tux jacket black and the grooms white.
If not formal, a dark suit and plain shirt, preferably white with a complimentary colored tie.
Perhaps his buttoniere should be of a different color than the ushers or fathers, or even the same as a key flower in your bouquet but it really doesn't matter as long as you don't do the dorky 80's thing and make him color-coordinate his suit/tux like he's a bridesmaid.

It depends on the time of day at which the ceremony will be held. I think he should be wearing the same outfit the best man is wearing, the only difference is the side of the aisle where he will be standing up or sitting, no need to make him wear a color coded outfit as if he was a bridesmaid or maybe just add a hint of the bridesmaids color to what he is wearing in a handkerchief for example, or a flower on his lapel.

Wow, Bostonsox and Nanny need to wake up...All kinds of women have best friends that are men, and have them stand up at their wedding, and vice versa. It has nothing to do with anyone's sexuality, and is actually fairly common.
You might refer to him as a bridesman (much like the male attendants for the groom are called groomsmen). I would have him wear the same thing that the other male attendants are wearing. If they all have tuxes, he would, too.

ok - he is a bridal attendant, not a male bridesmaid. He should wear the same thing as the groomsmen (or groom's attendants). I don't understand why you would only have a choice of a "male bridesmaid" though ---- you don't need to have the same number of attendants on the bride's and groom's side.
Good luck.

BRAVO to you for doing your own thing! And shame shame to those who are poopoo-ing the idea.
If I were having a male "bridesmaid" I would ask him to wear a flower that would normally go in the bouquet of the bridesmaids and a matching bold tie. If there are other bridesmeaids carrying traditional bouquets, have him wear a single large flower. For instance, if everyone is carrying red roses, a single red rose would be beautiful, with matching tie.
Everyone will look wonderful! Congratulations!

My spouse does, i do not. it really is really wide-spread yet customs variety. i do not placed on any earrings and as others have stated many adult men do not prefer to placed on earrings rather if operating with guns, equipment, automobiles, and so on. a hoop is large in case you want to placed on one yet rather for adult men it isn't mandatory and capacity not something about the capacity of the marriage. some females and some adult men will attempt to %. up married adult men or females even more effective than unmarried ones, for quite some causes, and someone desirous to 'cheat' might want to consistently take it off, so it really is a few distance from being an major signal of constancy or a fashion of 'imposing' it! extra heavily it really is an argument of differing customs, and does not recommend more effective or lesser love or a stronger or weaker marriage.

A suit or tux depending on how formal the wedding was. The color fo the suit/tux would match the rest of the men. Then he would have different colored tie and vest to set him apart from the groomsmen and the groom.

If the groomsmen are wearing tuxes then he should too. However, he should not have the same colour accents he should have whatever your bridesmaids have as his bow-tie and cumber-bun.
If the groomsmen are wearing suits then he should too but he should have a different shirt and tie, same as above, to compliment your colours.
