Fun Stuff > CHATTER
Let's have a fashion advice thread.
Patatat:
Thanks for the advice I haven't been to a wedding in a long time (I tend to go to more funerals, then weddings).
So wedding-dress etiquette is not something that I am well aware of. I have no idea what an op-shop is, do you mean thrift store?
David_Dovey:
Yeah I guess so.

i am wearing this watch atm but it is just 'on loan' from work (its a staff watch that is meant to be worn only at work but i accidentally wore it home) I actually love it though and am thinking of buying it.... thoughts???
Jace:
That watch is very classy. I actually want to get a nice watch myself to wear when I dress up. Its so unclassy to take out your cell phone when someone asks you the time.
Anyways, I bought a two shirts and a hoodie from oddica and I'm going to take $175 out of my next paycheck (in 3ish days) to go get some new clothes so I can actually look nice. I'm in Glendale, Arizona, what are the good shops to find a couple nice pairs of jeans and some good t-shirts.
Up until now I've only ever shopped at concerts for shirts and at wal mart for pants and shorts (shorts that I'm not wearing unless going swimming).

Think understated, particularly in terms of the main parts of your outfit. Wear a white or light blue shirt, and grey or otherwise light coloured pants, and make a statement with your tie, be it through colour or pattern.
Also, have you tried going to op-shops for a suit? It's really not that hard to find something nice for an absolute bargain.
Also, white ties tend to be worn by the groom/groomsmen, so they're definitely a no-go. It's like a girl wearing a white dress to someone else's wedding.

Good advice, but I would add that depending on when the wedding is and how formal it is, it might be better to go with black or dark, dark grey pants instead of a lighter grey. Light grey looks good, but for certain weddings, it wouldn't be quite right. At least that's the norm here, if it's a somewhat formal wedding. But then again, to a somewhat formal wedding, a suit would be recommended. Borrowing one from a friend or finding something in a thrift store could work.
Plus, I think black pants, white shirt and a (narrow) black tie looks way better than black pants, black shirt and white tie, mostly because the latter reminds me of The Hives and this douchebag I know of, who would top off the outfit with fugly black and white shoes.
