Wedding Attire

[BunnysBastatrds 2,447]

So last year I went to a beach wedding. Rocked the Miami Vice look wearing all white and sandals sporting a good tan with the right shades. This weekend the maid of honor for that wedding is getting married in the Quarter. They're having a Catholic Church ceremony followed by a second line to a bar a few blocks away. for an hour of drinks, followed by the reception being at the wax museum. Pretty Fawking cool. But it's going to be hot as it's for 5:00. Thinking of skipping the suit that I normally wear for weddings and sporting nice slacks, shirt, and tie. Wifey wants suit. Fawk that in this heat if were walking.

 

You skip the suit or is that considered bad etiquette?

I'm sure your behavior will be far more of a concern than the tank top and jorts.

[OldMaid 2,130]

Church = Suit

 

Sorry Bunny, suck it up.

I don't even own a suit anymore. The clothes don't make the man.

This. Fock formality/tradition.

Yeah, suit or sport coat for a church wedding. Do you want to agree with fashion advice from penny? Also IMO the tie is more of a pain in the heat than the jacket.

I would nix the tie and go slacks, dress shirt and sports coat.

Mercifully, no weddings in HI are formal. But why is my fashion advice any better or worse than the rest of the middle age slobs who post here?

[IGotWorms 4,058]

Sport coat at least

Haven't you admitted to not caring about fashion?

 

That's a good enough reason, right there.

Fair enough. But I think most guys, even if they "care", aren't very fashionable.

[DankNuggs 305]

Don't be the slob without a coat. You can take it off and carry it for the walk outside

[OldMaid 2,130]

When's the last time you visited L.A.? We've got some seriously fashionable males.

We focking think you suck, too.

I have a buddy who moved out there, big time metro, I'm sure he fits in well. I've been in southern Cali, want to visit LA sometime

Good. What a sh1thole

That's fine... Not everyone can hang here. It's definitely an acquired taste, and not for everyone.

Some of us understand fashion. Anyway, I think we've established that a jacket is a must for bunny. My personal advice would be to wear a tie for the wedding then lose it after the ceremony for the open collar evening look.

Guys who work at Fashionable Male tend to be d1cks.

You got some nice beaches. I'll give you that.

 

Actually I'd like it just fine if the population was at least 1/5 of what it is.

[MTSkiBum 1,620]

I did not wear my suit jacket to my wife's brothers wedding a few months ago. I was the only one there without the jacket.

 

I would do it again in a heart beat. Comfort > fashion.

I'm a lot of things white trash but I am fashionable. Don't know how or why it happend, but I always dress the part.

 

Never wear a tshirt in public other than to cut the grass. Always wear a belt. Own one pair of tennis shoes I wear for softball practice only. Own close to seventy button down shirts with collars ,that I rotate...Long/ Short sleeved. When I play golf, I look like a pro and play like a ho drinking forties.

 

Wifey just came out and said my ties suck. I barely wear them. The ones I wear are for business. In the far depths of my closet I have ten ties that I haven't looked at or worn in a decade or two. It's the place I stash oldies but goodies that she would give away but I know they will eventually come back in style if given the chance. Got five Jerry Garcia ties I spent a fortune on back before he died. Me: what about these? Wifey: they're back in style. Go fawk yourself you lucky bastard for keeping them!!!!! Me: told you tripping ties would make a comeback! Wifey: tie die your d!ck!

They like hallways or Hershey highways?

I also dislike LA. Too much pretense, too many people. Material wealth is celebrated to an extent not matched by any other major US city.

 

One of my male friends moved there and starting carrying a purse. I don't even carry a wallet, so you can probably guess what I think of LA fashion.

Well if that is how you identify yourself, your question is answered. Personally I'd rather wear a tasteful collared shift and slacks than wear a coat and tie and suffocate through the ceremony. If you plan on taking it off anyway, why not ditch the coat at least?

A wallet isn't fashion; it's a wallet. Just saying.

A man-bag is…to guys in LA.

Also, I bet a fashionable guy would think otherwise: http://www.gq.com.au/style/editors+pick/thin+wallets+for+men,24671

So you’ve found the perfect suit, you’ve taken it to the tailor for a bit of a nip and tuck, and now it fits like a glove. But you hardly want to go and ruin all your hard work and attention to detail by cramming a bulky wallet into your pocket, right? Right.

 

Although you still might want to hang onto your traditional wallet – packed with all the usual array of old receipts and loyalty cards – for everyday use, when you’re heading off for a night out, it’s worth investing in a slim wallet or cardholder, with room for just enough essentials to get you through the evening. A bit of cash, the odd credit card, maybe your business card or two, for a spot of networking.

A quality slim wallet or cardholder is a handy addition to your wardrobe, and since they're smaller than a regular wallet, they won't break the bank. Here are some of our favourites.

Most of the time we agree... but being a designer myself, I tend to appreciate design in other mediums as well.

[smashmouths@blf 33]

Wear a sport jacket with no tie That seems appropriate.

[drobeski 3,061]

You should tom Brady it up

[Mungwater 597]

It's before six, so you can get away from a suit. Slacks, button up, and a sports coat will be fine

[NorthernVike 2,087]

You live in Louisiana, wear a camouflage wife beater.

[TimmySmith 2,782]

It gets hot everywhere. Suit up and be a man. Of course anyone who thinks it's proper to go "Miami Vice" after 1987 is challenged.

[TD Ryan2 316]

Listen - part of being a man is being able to wear a nice suit and not look/act like mommy just dressed you in scratchy pants and a clip-on tie.

You wear a nice suit, you dance with your SO, and you dance with your mother if she's there.

 

Every wedding has that same focking doofus who can't wear a suit because he's too "blue collar" or "tough guy" to wear a focking suit and he also doesn't at least slow dance with his wife or mom. Grow a focking set of nuts already and stop being a man-child.

That's something Sux would do.

Like someone would invite him to a wedding

As opposed to Minnesota where the thermal-insulated camouflage wife-beater would be in vogue.
