I what you consider your best wedding appropriate combo. Unless you'll be in wedding party photos (you won't) you don't need to know how well your suit goes with her outfit. Frankly, it's a bit gay (or beta) to think about it.

I'd wear a slimfit dark navy suit, a white shirt and whatever tie you like. brown shoes perhaps.

and honestly, it may well still be cool in overland park but lose the slim ties -unless you're a member of The Killers, they look stupid.

If you're going to do the solid black tie, then it should be a cotton tie. Maybe throw a tie bar on if u want to stand out a little.

Although I love rocking my light pink shirt with my grey suit and black tie, the pink shirt might not work that well with jade... probably going to stick with the white shirt.

... and if you decide to wear a navy suit, the cool kids are wearing brown shoes/belt with em

Wrong, other than the Killers part.

I guess it depends how slim you're talking, tho. 2" is pretty in right now.

Yeah, I'm not talking pencil-thin. Just skinnier than average, because I don't want to look like I'm borrowing one from the old man's collection. And they are still in style in OP, and KC for that matter. Also, I'm 25, so its not like I'm the 38 year old trying to fit in with the younger crowd: ["So, you guys heard of that new Kings of Leon band?"]

I pull it off just fine.

In regards to the "gay/beta" angle, if you had read my post fully, this issue hasn't arisen because I'm trying to impress her. I fart on her, for ****s sake. I am, however, concerned with making her feel as best she can on an important day; the day where her whole trust circle judges her based on me. The same way I wouldn't want her showing up to meet my family whilst wearing a neon tube top, I'd prefer not to look like an asshat in fugly clothing. Hence my post. I'd like to consider all angles before settling.

Also, Spatch, I agree... the lighter brown shoe/belt combo looks great with a richly colored blue suit.

HMc 04-24-2011 04:00 AM

turning up in an asshat wearing fugly clothing does not equal wearing your best outfit without being paranoid about matching her jade dress, and I never suggested it was.

I have to wonder, with CP perhaps not being a bastion of advice on sartorial elegance, whether you didn't just post so we'll all informed as to how stylin you are.

If you've got it all figured out...

Hey Metrosexuals.....I need to know a place in the Kansas City area I can get BRIGHT white casual slacks and a BRIGHT white casual blazer or suit jacket. I do not have time to order off of the internet. I've looked and looked and nobody has 'em. Goin' to Vegas Tuesday for a week and need to look like the biggest toolshed as possible.

Also what do you guys think about these watches. They are just ones made by Guess, but I thought they were pretty cool for the price, around a hundo

Garbage. You're buying a $4 watch with a $96 logo. It's like buying a Kenneth Cole or Nike watch. Not exactly known for their timepieces, are they?

True, don't like the brand. I just thought they looked nice. Any ideas of good $100-$150 watches? I like the stainless steal silver look. Generally I like watches that have a big face on them.

bwillie - I'm not wild about the watch, sure it looks fine, but they're pretty damned common.

If you're in that range, you say; go for the worst of the best - with ESQ - they're the same company as Movado, only their lesser tiered answer.

Additionally - you may check out American Apparel off of the Plaza. Just watch for 'skinny fit' - try EVERYTHING on there. Do you all have an HM there? that'd be another possibility.

Don't forget the Banana Republic, they'll have some cool clothes from time-to-time.

If you were here in Atlanta, i'd have more suggestions, but you all don't have the stores I had in mind.

The tags are great.

If you want a good value, try these (no personal experience with these watches, but I assume they're good quality).

www.chronoshark.com has some good watches for around $100 occasionally. If you can wait a couple of weeks they will normally have something on there, a Movado or something similar for around $100.

MOhillbilly 04-29-2011 09:14 AM

this thing looks crazy cheap. might even be too gaudy. It's like $200 min anywhere else I've seen online.
