People won't notice. (Black dress on a woman is just so much more noticeable.)

Add a colorful tie. Maybe even fun, colorful dress socks.

Black dresses are common at weddings these days.

Pretty much. A bride friend recently announced her wedding guests should all wear black tie and black dresses, and most people were like, yeah, that's what I was planning anyway.

Black tie is not a black suit…

Are you worried some old biddies are going to gossip about your son? What is the concern here

I can tell that you're a classy broad. Any more fashion advice ?

Ok, question answered - you are the old biddie gossiping to other biddies

LOL ! Thank you for your humorous comeback. I like you.

Truthfully, I really thought that black suits were only for somber occasions.

Same to you

I've actually never heard that. I know black is the prevailing mourning color, but never heard it was inappropriate to wear black items elsewhere. I think he will be fine!

DP: The last 4 funerals I have attended have come with requests from the families that no one wear black, as the deceased wanted a colorful celebration of life. All the rules are going topsy turvy.

It is these days. Look up some black tie invites on The Knot, what to wear says black tux or black suit.

Not in the 21st century (or the late 20th)

Where is this? In dc, about half of the women are wearing black dresses at any given wedding!!!

What is wrong with you?

Okay. Thanks. Black suit, black shirt, black fedora hat, & white tie ?

Shoes should be black with white trim ?

Always thought that black was for funerals and funeral directors and dead people.

Same. Less versatile. However if your kid is fashion forward/has a point of view - pair it with something bright as others suggested. And tell him this is the only black suit he needs to own.

Only real question is picking out the shoulder holster to go with black shirt/white tie.
