A grey suit with matching waistcoat. Pink shirt, dark red tie
Bonus points will be earned for selecting a tie that matches the bridesmaids' dresses; more points will be earned if pointing this out leads to a sexual enounter of the first, second or third kind.

Alternatively, outdress everyone including the groom by hiring a morning suit for the wedding, and a dinner suit for the dinner. Black tie, of course.

Pink shirt and dark red tie?
That sounds fucking horrible.
( Esme Weatherwax I swear on my tash it's daycent hash, Wed 3 Jun 2009, 16:35, archived)

Maroon, then.
A subtle pink, not a stupid garish pink.

Hmm, I suspect that would look like nice on Noit, him being quite sallow, but he'd never wear pink.

( Esme Weatherwax I swear on my tash it's daycent hash, Wed 3 Jun 2009, 16:38, archived)

Only the toughest men in the world wear pink.
So you're probably right.
(rnuk http://flickr.com/rnuk, Wed 3 Jun 2009, 16:38, archived)

umm
toughest men in the world gays and the welsh

you are right about the grey suit though.

must be 3 piece. crisp white shirt and red tie.

this is the outfit

it's how I think

Why does it bother you so much?

It was just a question, calm down.

I am calm
mine was just a question too

with the white shirt and red tie
he'll look like a politician.
( Captain Wow currently being a cunt in Infamous, Wed 3 Jun 2009, 16:44, archived)

I disagree
with a light to medium grey suit and waistcoat a white shirt and red tie looks good.
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Wed 3 Jun 2009, 16:47, archived)

It's just making me think of David Cameron.
Also, not too light a grey on the suit, otherwise he'll need to shove up the sleeves, get a Dirty Den cut and start driving a mark 1 astra.

I'd call that a medium grey, yeah
alright, that's very nice. Lovely waiscoat, I do love a 3 piece.
( Captain Wow currently being a cunt in Infamous, Wed 3 Jun 2009, 16:54, archived)

I kind of forgot how dark my suit was
3 piece is the business
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Wed 3 Jun 2009, 16:57, archived)

That is very nice.

( Esme Weatherwax I swear on my tash it's daycent hash, Wed 3 Jun 2009, 16:57, archived)

thanks
it's nice to go to a couple of weddings and find that your suit is the nicest one there.

very comfortable for balcony sitting and croissant eating also

The bride will be wearing enough white.
Get in pink, or if you're scared, light blue.
(rnuk http://flickr.com/rnuk, Wed 3 Jun 2009, 16:44, archived)

light blue is almost as gay or welsh as pink

( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Wed 3 Jun 2009, 16:45, archived)

light blue is 79.6% gayer than pink.
At least if you're wearing pink, it says "I'm confident enough to pull this off."

Light blue is clearly the pussiest of all of the colors.

I'm not up on the shirt/tie combo, but I like your thinking on this.

( Jam Master Geordie Hero of B3ta., Wed 3 Jun 2009, 16:36, archived)

The key is to stand out, JMG.
In the current climate of mass hirings of suits by a single tailor for one party, he who wears pink to everyone else's white will be a king amongst men.

(Linguistication everything is prosable., Wed 3 Jun 2009, 16:45, archived)

Oooh no, never pink shirts.
Still the grey suit, but I'd make it a green/darker green shirt and tie combo.
( Captain Wow currently being a cunt in Infamous, Wed 3 Jun 2009, 16:38, archived)

Green?
Are you on crack or something?
(rnuk http://flickr.com/rnuk, Wed 3 Jun 2009, 16:38, archived)

Green is nice, pink is SHIT.

What the fuck has that got to do with green being nicer than pink?

( Esme Weatherwax I swear on my tash it's daycent hash, Wed 3 Jun 2009, 16:44, archived)

Nothing.
I just felt like getting in an irrational insult.
(rnuk http://flickr.com/rnuk, Wed 3 Jun 2009, 16:44, archived)

Fair enough.

If you want to wear a pink shirt
just be a man about it, stop going at it half-arsed and just wear a pretty princess frock.

Pillocks.
( Captain Wow currently being a cunt in Infamous, Wed 3 Jun 2009, 16:43, archived)

I like maybe one shade of pink, that's it.
Green is looovely. Not as nice as black or red, though.
( Esme Weatherwax I swear on my tash it's daycent hash, Wed 3 Jun 2009, 16:44, archived)

Green's my favourite colour, by far.
Green and black together, oh yes. I own far too many green or green and black things.
( Captain Wow currently being a cunt in Infamous, Wed 3 Jun 2009, 16:45, archived)

Mine is red.
Even my glass are red. Well, my old ones are. But I am wearing those, seeing as I've broken and lost my two new pairs.
( Esme Weatherwax I swear on my tash it's daycent hash, Wed 3 Jun 2009, 16:46, archived)

I've got new, retro tortoiseshell glasses
they're almost horn-rimmed. Oooh they're lovely.

My old glasses were red. Well, a dark red.

Glasses are brilliant. I'm never getting laser treatment.
( Captain Wow currently being a cunt in Infamous, Wed 3 Jun 2009, 16:48, archived)

Yeah, I'd miss wearing glasses too much.
I want new glasses, but i am poor.
( Esme Weatherwax I swear on my tash it's daycent hash, Wed 3 Jun 2009, 16:48, archived)

I am now I've bought these
but free reactions at specsavers made me decide to finally buy some new ones. I've needed a new prescription for a while so I don't feel too bad.
( Captain Wow currently being a cunt in Infamous, Wed 3 Jun 2009, 16:51, archived)

Do reactions work properly?
They used to be crap, I haven't heard anything about them lately.
( Esme Weatherwax I swear on my tash it's daycent hash, Wed 3 Jun 2009, 16:53, archived)

They do, aye.
Not that I have anything to compare them to.
( Captain Wow currently being a cunt in Infamous, Wed 3 Jun 2009, 16:54, archived)

Cool, might start saving, so.

( Esme Weatherwax I swear on my tash it's daycent hash, Wed 3 Jun 2009, 16:58, archived)

I would, while they're free.

( Captain Wow currently being a cunt in Infamous, Wed 3 Jun 2009, 17:00, archived)

Although if you don't get reactions,
the frames are half price!

I went for this option with my new glasses instead.
(MooCow_Byter, Wed 3 Jun 2009, 17:09, archived)

Yeah, I did that last time and then NEVER wore my second pair
so I thought fuck it.
( Captain Wow currently being a cunt in Infamous, Wed 3 Jun 2009, 17:10, archived)

I'm with runky on this.
A green shirt would look ridiculous. Not sure I'd go with the red tie, but that's a matter of taste.

I don't know where women got this reputation for knowing how to dress, but it's clearly bollocks.
(MooCow_Byter, Wed 3 Jun 2009, 16:49, archived)

In my mind
pink is for little girls and cheap strippers. I hate it.
( Captain Wow currently being a cunt in Infamous, Wed 3 Jun 2009, 16:50, archived)

I don't know how to dress
this is why I look like I got dressed in the dark.
( Blue Star was working part time at the 5 and Dime, Wed 3 Jun 2009, 16:50, archived)

A darker pink tie would be better than a red tie, I think. Or yes, maroon.

( valoukh newsgash.wordpress.com, Wed 3 Jun 2009, 16:45, archived)

Hire?
What are you, some kind of poor person? Every man of taste must surely already own varied and appropriate dress for both morning and evening wear.
(MooCow_Byter, Wed 3 Jun 2009, 16:38, archived)

The advantage of hiring a morning suit
is that it after you've spilt your third bloody mary down it, the dry-cleaning bill rests with the shop and not you.
