Are you okay with a white feather in the fedora hat ? TIA. |
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! |
So I really didn't know. I was only married once and that shotgun made me so nervous I cannot remember what I wore. |
NP. lol. You nailed it, PP. OP, of course a black suit is fine. |
Navy or Charcoal would be better. If he is a guest at a summer wedding, linen and seersucker are appropriate as well. |
What is wrong with you that you have to be such a jerk? In many cultures, it is not appropriate to wear black to a wedding. It's a perfectly reasonable question. Not everyone is just like you, PP. |
You obviously don’t live in NY. Black dresses at weddings are de rigueur here. My mind is boggling at the idea of them being inappropriate. |
It is totally appropriate to wear a black suit to a wedding. The rule against black is for women, not mean. Men are supposed to wear dark suits. Unless it's a casual beach wedding. |
What am I not getting? Don't all dudes wear black suits to weddings? |
Not in the 21st century (or the late 20th) |
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… |
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. |
