Thanks foxy, I think.


Anyway my point I think was that even people who say formal don't know what they mean. At least you have an indication you can comfortably wear a suit to the wedding. And a suit means a tie. A wedding is a joyous celebration of love. Or something. Anyway it's not a funeral or a business meeting so a white shirt, sombre tie and sombre shoes isn't needed. Actually some upper middle class weddings are more like business contracts but we'll ignore that here. So a nice dressy non white shirt, say pale blue, pink or ecru, spread collar and a bright happy tie. No, no, no. Not a fun tie like PoP. But a more showy tie.

Good occasion to wear cufflinks and double cuffs. Pocket hankie. Easy.

I agree with my multi. Weddings are probably the best excuse most of you will have to wear a flashy tie. Like one of these...

^ Shut that drawer, PoP, quickly now. Evil spirits reside within.

Sale on a few Carmina pairs by Unipair Guy mentioned on Carmina thread here: http://www.styleforum.net/t/241469/...-sizing-photos-and-more/9600_100#post_7436846

I don't know much about Carminas but $280 + 50 shipped to AUS (after a quick PM) seems reasonable but not that huge a selection. You guys would know better. I've also heard unipair mentioned on this thread so it must be a reliable vendor.

I bought some Carmina shell cordovan boots from Unipair a while back, and the service was top-notch. Great communication, speedy delivery, the boots were very, very well packed, and the package included a small gift (a notebook).

Their normal prices are a bit higher than other Carmina vendors (and if Sth Korea is anything like Japan, that's probably because of import duties on shoes), but when they have a sale, their prices are very competitive and the service is second-to-none.

If you know your size and last in Carmina and you find what they have up for sale attractive - I can't see the harm.



Also gents, I've scored a new gig, so expect to see more suit selfies like these, minus the dirty mirrors, hangovers, and maybe even some nice posing.

@lachyzee has been asking me about the cellulare (and a few others too) so I got around to taking a photo this morning. It's a great fabric.

Worn with brown linen/silk Caruso coat, mid wash denim and brown suede chukkas.

Thanks for tips on wedding attire

I have a plain blue poplin shirt with French cuffs and spread collar, maybe that should be the go?: http://tiny.cc/a2vsnx

I have a white pocket square, should I do a puff fold or flat fold ?

I also have a dressy silver silk tie, but I'm thinking this isn't going to go well with a blue shirt and navy suit,? Unless I wear a white shirt instead.

Next question is shoes, I have a pair of black wholecut oxfords or black captoe oxfords..or brown boots, what do you all think?

Sorry for the noob questions..this is complicated not knowing what to wear..!

That second button undone always makes me nervous!

I love all those old names for fabric etc like "cellulare" or "fresco"
