-- What to wear to a wedding when you're not in it?
Yeah so, I'm going to a wedding of a buddy of mine on Sept. 12th. I'm wanting to look really nice, as weddings are an amazing medium for networking/meeting people (most notably, girls) but, I'm thinking grey button up w/ navy pin-stripes and a bold navy tie accompanied by some fine solid dark, dark navy flat front, semi-formal pants w/ my power shoes, which were purchased at Norstroms, split-toe, calfskin, black.
Or, do you all think i need to buy a sports-coat, too? My ex-wife handled all of the 'proper etiquette' bullshit when I was married, so, I'm a little lost as to the do's n do nots. TIA -SR |
Suck it up Wildcat!
Show your pride and the ladies will be dripping off of you. http://img2.allposters.com/images/TE...SM1479B-AT.jpg |
Don't wear anything that matches the wedding party's attire.
A darker khaki, flat front pant and a cerulean button-up (no pattern, please). Some sporty suede boots work well with this combo. No tie unless you are a very close friend or family member. The point is, you want the ladies to know you are there because you know people, but that you don't know them well enough where the lady will feel guilty if she enjoys an erotic rendezvous with you. |
Wear the bride's underwear on your head.

Tuxedo Tshurt/Jared allen
|
Something crotchless. But don't be vulgar, cover up with a pair of chaps until the dance music starts.
|
Dark suit and tie if the wedding is in the evening. Wear a sports jacket or suit w/ no tie if it is in the afternoon.

A suit.
I either wear a green suit, navy suit or black/charcoal pinstripe suit. |

A bold stripe shirt calls for solid colored or discreetly patterned suits and ties.
OK SR? Right? Got it. |
Go to banana republic and buy whatever is on the mannequin.
|
'proper etiquette' is overrated....
|
wear a suit. less is not appropriate for weddings. there may be others there who are underdressed, but that does not mean you should be.

Demon's rules for weddings. giftcard from target. Slacks and polo oversized for confort, Iphone for bordom, bring hard liquor if there is pussy there, if not bounce after 2 dropping off gifts. If i feel they just invited me for gifts or because it was nice of them, null and void. Time to spend time with my TV and game system because it was expensive and i don't watch or play enough. final step watch for facebook for pending "so and so is single again :(" which is bound to happen. Then move in to date, if baby pictures go up, delete said bride and groom from facebook.
|
Be prepared for the wedding guest with a better business card than yours.
Just sayin'. |
|
ok, so, the grey n navy suggestion was too much for an AM wedding? PLS BE CLEAR!@

One word - Argyle.

oh i will, i've found this olive-oil leave-in conditioner, it makes my bangs curl just right, next i use a Redken gel for the side and back. My skin looks great thanks to my blackhead dissolver and my 'quick lunchtime' face-peel, both by joey specialties. i'll probably bleach my teeth, and do a 20 minute tan, i have a tanning bed at the house, you should look into it, GREAT RATES.
|
You are so gay.
|
i think we've found the problem.
|
What time of day is it and where is the reception?
|
make sure you have access to your dick o you can masterbate while looking around at the wedding. I try to take a cell phone picture and take it to the bathroom sometimes because just stairing at them sweaty and beating off under your cargo's can be a turnoff

SR, I think your original idea sounds fine. I say no coat, mostly just because I wouldn't. But if you are still unsure, here is a guaranteed winner:

ah ha, ok, i'm going w/ that.
|
Yeah, just don't try to outclass the Groom or best man...you should be good.
Serious Question. Do you watch football? Most guys that I know that are metro don't really like football. |

Just wasn't sure. Don't take this the wrong way, but I don't think I've ever seen you talk about football on here.

Dress as a pimp with high-heeled shoes, feathery hat and gold teef. Then when they get to the part where they ask if anyone knows why these two should not be married you stand up and scream "Bitch better have my money. Not PART of my money, not SOME of my money, bitch better have ALL my money!!"
Then quietly sit back down. |

for a summer wedding the one can't miss thing you can wear is a khaki or light colored pants and jacket. banana republic has this very setup. i think i got mine for about three bills. great thing is it's very versatile. you can wear the whole thing or just the jacket and jeans. tie or no tie. if you wear the pants and jacket (they are both very light and comfy in the summer) wear a pastel colored shirt no tie. i'd also go black belt and shoes. goes with light colors better in my opinion. for the shirt color you can't go wrong with peach, light pink, a light lime green, lavender, a baby blue, or a shirt with those colors in stripes. those colors might not be up your alley but they will be up women's. it'll show you have confidence in your self and some fashion sense or at least you'll look like it for a night. this isn't nearly as difficult to do as you made tapping your neighbors friend out to be. go to banana and walk up to one of the girls working there. they're all usually pretty damn cute with a pretty good fashion sense. tell her where your going, the setting, and time and she'll set you up. hell have a couple of them help. it will be fun and trust their recommendations even if it puts you outside your comfort zone. after listening to your trials and tribulations re. women being out of your comfort zone will probably be a good thing. the girls helping you love to do make overs for the fashion impaired. just think of it like this. . . .they are dressing you up to look the way they'd like a guy they want to f**k to look. that should give you a little confidence. i was even lucky enough to hookup with a banana chick. they get thirty percent off everything so if you play your cards right there will be good times all around. sr find a way to stow your inner pussy and life will come to you much easier my friend.

Start with a Valentino suit.
And Ryan, you've to wear clothes in proportion to your physique. There are definite dos and dont's, good buddy of wearing a bold striped shirt. A bold stripe shirt calls for solid colored or discreetly patterned suits and ties. But the key is in getting ready. In the morning if your face is a little puffy, put on an ice pack while doing stomach crunches. After removing the ice pack, use a deep pore cleanser lotion. In the shower, use a water activated gel cleanser, then a honey almond body scrub, and on the face an exfoliating gel scrub. Then apply an herb-mint facial mask which you should leave on for 10 minutes while you prepare the rest of my routine. Always use an after shave lotion with little or no alcohol, because alcohol dries your face out and makes you look older. Then moisturizer, then an anti-aging eye balm followed by a final moisturizing protective lotion. |

Seriously, I'm heading to my 2nd wedding this Summer in 2 weeks - 2 Nieces getting married in one Summer.
I don't wear suits any more for work - haven't in over 10+ yrs. I had to go out and buy a suit for these weddings. Got a really sharp black Hart, Schaffner & Marx (light gray) pinstripe suit. Bought 3 different shirts & ties to go with it. I do believe I'm set for another 10+ yrs! :D Good luck & have fun! |
Go to Nordstrom's and buy a Hugo Boss suit, preferrably a shade of brown (brown is the "new" black). Purchase a strong colored shirt (deep blue, lime green, etc.) and a "hip" tie with suitable colors.
Be sure to wear brown shoes. Black shoes and a brownish suit don't match. |
Does it matter? He will meet a chick and then not close the deal... so who cares, really?

oh and Brock, my neighbor brought me a white chocolate cup-cake, last night, but then she left to go see her boyfriend in Charleston. But that's okay, she and I are just friends, it was nice though having a hot girl bring a cupcake to my door, I wanted her neck in my mouth.

Ryan, I've got something I think you might like if you are set on a suit.
Wear a plaid shirt under your jacket. I'm not kidding. I know you may be thinking "Delano, thought provoking, but plaid isn't an option until fall." Well, remember, the wedding is September 12 and I think plaid works at that time. Grab a nice Hamilton shirt with colors in the blue family. Band of Outsiders makes some ties that would fit well with the Hamilton shirt. Take Dane's great advice and get a Hugo Boss suit. (Grey, preferably) |
