Someone help dress me!

[C50]

Oh my, you look so handsome! @C50

Thank you, thank you!

 

[Jules]

Perfect choices by your advisors at Kohl’s. Agreed, you look handsome. In the long run too, the blue shirt is more practical than white. I hope you enjoyed the wedding.

Late to this post but just wanted to add my thumbs up for your final choice @C50. Very debonair! I feel a need to remind you that the casting call is active for Daniel Craig's replacement as Bond. James Bond. 007.

As you were

I think you look great too and the wedding photos with you in them will be cherished.

 

[caroln]

Wow! You look great! Sorry for the late reply.

Here I am on my way out to the wedding. I took my suit jacket to Kohls and the ladies told me my suit is a charcoal color, not navy blue. My bad. Anyway they set me up with the sky blue shirt and darker tie. Thanks for all the help!

Not bad at all, rather sober, but as someone said, you don't want to detract attention away from the happy couple. Perhaps it was a good idea after all not to go in a 1920's zoot suit.

Yer an exception
a horse of a different color, hc

You should be a fixture at every wedding or formal fete

I have been known to wear a posh frock!

What a flatterer, but don't stop. Thanks Beezer.

What a flatterer, but don't stop. Thanks Beezer.

I'm not joking. It takes a certain kind of chutzpa to pull off the way you present. Good on you!

You look great! The blue shirt brings out warm skin tones.

Your comment came to mind about an hour ago. "Stand up," said my good lady, "stand up," I repeated. "You heard," she replied. I duly stood up. The tape measure came out and went around my middle, then around my hips and then around my buttocks. After that it got very interesting, first she measured my inside leg then from the middle of my back, right down under my buttocks to a point just behind my nuts.

Looks like there's a new pair of trousers in the offing. We agreed on an eighteen inch hem and she will turn the cuff up by an inch and a half. Those measurements sound intrusive, but the trousers that she will make will fit perfectly, they always do. It will take a while but watch this space.

Take Pinky's advice.

It's ok, but I love the bow ties.

C50's wedding thread was a reminiscent earlier today.



We enjoyed Sunday lunch at a rather splendid watering hole. Friends joined us, it was most convivial. One member of our company was most observant in recognising my bow tie. "You've got a shirt in that fabric," she said. The lady was correct, whenever my wife has made a floral shirt for me, she saves the off cuts and makes bow ties, neck ties and pocket squares.

I like a paisley tie but if the guy next to you is in a tux better to be understated with a plain dark tie. Or not.

was about to throw in my 2c worth on OP options when I realised question was asked 3 years ago

 

[smiley]

always reminds me of one of my ex's comments " your not going to wear that tonight surely"? - I mostly ignored her - she wasn't doing much better herself imo!

 

[George1959]

Boy, how glad I am that I don't need to go to weddings, funerals (is there any difference at all?) or other formal events anymore.

 

[January]

I enjoy going to weddings.

Even most formal ones in Australia are not suit and tie requirements, and funerals certainly are not.

I have a Three Stooges tie I can loan you.

Also, don't rule out spats.

Spats are a short cloth gaiter covering the instep and ankle.

The two tone correspondence style grew out of spats:

I assume the spats were invented to prevent the shoes getting wet and muddy?

 

[Dave03]

I have always thought spats looked cool.
