Interested in the opinion of the crowd: Thoughts on a midnight blue dinner jacket w/ black tuxedo pants?
Background: Getting a standard tuxedo rig for my wedding (black, grosgrain peak, 1 button, jetted pockets). I'm interested in a classic look and feel that this is most versatile (i.e. can be used for other black tie events regardless of season and/or wedding parties). Buuuuuut, if I wanted to add some life to it do you think it would be possible to do a midnight blue dinner jacket with silk shawls on top of the black tux pants? I know a white shawl DJ and black is pretty standard, but that would only really work during the summer. Also, I know people here would notice, but do you think silk shawl DJ lapel and and grosgrain pants trim is a venial black tie offense?
