HOF: What Are You Wearing Right Now - Part IV (starting May 2014)

[eviltimeban]

All I have thought of so far is a pair of light grey cotton dress pants, blue gingham shirt with the sleeves rolled up (high of 86, 4:30 wedding), and loafers.

That sounds nice to me - light blue gingham, open neck (with maybe an extra button open). If you wanted to go sockless you could, but that mightn't go down well with the cowboy wearing lot...

1. These pants are too tight, but I got tired of wearing my same gray pants over and over. Plus, I like the fabric on these.
2. Colors are not showing up well. Shirt is gray stripe. Tie is chocolate brown, belt and shoes are tobacco.
3. I hope this navy blazer replaces the poorly fitting one I posted earlier in the season. The shoulders still aren't perfect here, but I think they are much better.

Not as crazy today.

It's Friday, sunny and less humid, and I'm making a bright and light end to my week, although you locals don't favor yellow ties. Too bad for you, then.

This is how my people dress/ do things, also. I would simply buy a decent looking western shirt from Sheplers online and wear with jeans-- since no cowboy boots I imagine, can prob do with tan chukka boots.

So homeys...I have a wedding question....I know this isn't the normal forum for that, but figured I'd ask real quick..

This weekend I am attending the wedding of a cousin in the rolling hills of south central kentucky (no cousin jokes please). The location is a converted barn that now has events like this. It is located on a horse farm. I was told "casual" is the requested dress. Food is going to be BBQ and miller lite. I have only met the groom about a half a dozen times, and have never seen him without a Cubs or Tractor Supply hat. Other family members are saying to dress like a pro golfer, or otherwise khakis and a polo. There will probably be cowboy boots in the crowd. The groomsmen are wearing khaki dress pants and white shirts.

I just....can't....get...my...head...around....this. I have never been to a wedding where I didn't wear a suit. Any suggestions how to play this? All I have thought of so far is a pair of light grey cotton dress pants, blue gingham shirt with the sleeves rolled up (high of 86, 4:30 wedding), and loafers. Open to ideas. thanks

(by the way I don't have dress khakis, just very casual, lounge with chukkas version)

School requiring one of my boys to disguise in anything. He loves cowboys and therefore decided on the outfit. The cowboy wanted a ride to school this morning on a pony.

Evilb - I am not personally feeling the shirt with the rest of that ensemble.

You are so lucky to live in the UK, where your son can go to school dressed as a cowboy. Once upon a time, children in the USA could go to school dressed as cowboys, but now that would probably get the child expelled, and possibly taken away from the parents.

Hmm well its a tricky one, its not a shirt I wear very often due to the fact that its so bold and its hard to match things to it.

If anything I feel the tie is risky - the shirt / suit balance is OK and the tie / suit balance is OK, but overall... - I'm 70% happy with the look though, as I feel it is balanced and is coherent.

There's a better tie to wear with this shirt though, I just don't own it yet.

So, yeah, you already know the SC, but the tie is new as well as the PS and I look sexy with my new tie.

i dont think i would ever wear that shirt with a tie, nor a business suit. i never like large ginghams with anything that even leans towards formal. cuffs rolled with chinos would be how i would wear that shirt, or with gray dress pants and a very unconstructed patch pocket SC. just my 2 cents.
