My fiancee will have her wedding dress, of course, but what should I wear? I'm not a fan of the traditional American Tuxedo-look - I'm not going to a ball. Where I come from, it's the traditional morning suit/top hat, but the event will be after 5pm so technically that's out and we're back to black tie. A lounge suit is out - It's not a business meeting<br> A white suit is definitely out - I'm not a pimp<br> A friend suggested white tie, but I'd look like an orchestra conductor (or about to be knighted by Her Majesty, some chance).<br> A nice dinner jacket/single stripe trouser with a straight tie in a pale blue or grey silk (and matching waistcoat) is the best I've found so far, but I'm still not totally happy with it.<br> <br> Argh, I'm getting frustrated at my sartorial helplessness! tag:ask.metafilter.com,2007:site.58131 Mon, 05 Mar 2007 11:42:48 -0800 formal menswear morningsuit tuxedo wedding xenoworx
