How should one dress for a wedding?

[bigbobs]

Do not follow what Bigbobs, , cause that right there is no home training and a seriously lack of coordinating skills ( do not be a John Witherspoon look alike), nobody wears bright orange shirt and ties, unless they were going thru the Kohls Xmas sales bins. Because in your 20's you can get away with it, but when you dress like that as a habit, and get older, you look like a fool.   

And you're assuming I'm in past my 20's because.... 

I recently turned 28, Camel Jockey is in his early 20's.  Sorry I'm not 35+ and have to resort to boring black suits and plain ties to each occasion like you

Sorry, dude, but I'm a tie fanatic.  Nordstroms, Jos A. Bank, Hugo Boss, and Kenneth Cole tend to have the better quality ties.  But, stripes and patterns are the way to go. One can use the tie and shirt to spice up the suit. Whether it be a spread collared or rounded collar shirt. The shirt CJ has is fine. One could go lavender or even white. The tie can have bright colors, but use other colors to tone it down. One doesn't have to have basic black for a suit, but can go dark drown or grey, or even pinstriped. It is recommended to go black.

 At 28 you should know by now how to dress for ceremonial events. Generation X and  Y  (us) tend to be slackers when it comes to this stuff, either we weren't taught, or we don't care. Either way it's sad.

I just telling him, this is what is recommended, and, not to put himself out there. But as the saying goes, "It's better to be over dressed, than to be under dressed

Here's my question while wearing a suit do you guys wear belt or suspenders? I do both but I do love the look of a nice set of suspenders...

Suspenders for me only if I am wearing a vest. I used to wear suspenders every now and then, because it kept a continuity of shape. But if you have your jacket off a lot, "old man" comments will be made

It's funny cause the younger guys make jokes or should I say made jokes, but the older women always complimented. As did they younger ones. I love suspenders with a nice suit. Escpecially when going out for something nice.

I think in general women really like the suspender look (me included).  The other guys probably made jokes about the suspenders because they were jealous you looked so nice and the ladies were macking on you.

looks like your are dressed more for a funeral than a wedding!

I'm hoping this is simply an etiquette problem and that most of you are just being rude?


CJ does not look like he's dressed for a funeral or for a wedding, because he is wearing a business suit.

It is totally inappropriate to wear a business suit to anyplace other than the office, unless you have a nice black one which you can accessorise.


The bloke who posted at the beginning with the velour jackets and silk shirts at least has a sense of style.

CJ?  buy a nice new black fitted suit and shiny black shoes for yourself for Christmas and forget about everyone else and especially about "just putting in an appearance".  Get into the event, get dressed up nice, play with your accessories (match your tie with your socks or something?), feel great and have a truly special time !
