I'm going to a wedding next month

[fistfulofmetal]

so my gf's friend is getting married and i've been invited as a +1

and like, i don't really have any nice clothes. i have professional clothes for job stuff but nothing for something like this

and i don't really know what i should go out and wear.

can someone recommend me some ideas?

[bork]

Buy a suit. 

~fin~

[Narolf]

Doesn't sound like you need to go too formal.

I'm a terrible adult. I don't even know where i'd go to get a suit

[demi]

Um... why not just ask your girlfriend? Lmao

You're a grown man. Buy a suit and tie. Go to the mall and hit up JC Penny's, it's not like you're going to the Met Gala. Try a suit on - don't buy anything until you try it on. Afterwards take it to a tailor.

[demi]

I dont think a suit is necessary. Just dress up nice, don't overdo it.

[Steve Youngblood]

Yeah, I'm not saying that it would be a bad move, but I don't necessarily think a suit is a requirement here. But ask your girlfriend. How dressed up is she going to be? That's a far more important barometer of how you should be dressed than asking people on the internet what the etiquette is for attire given no further context than "it's a wedding."

[Nibel]

Nahrolf no

[bork]

Any store that sells suits?

[king of the internet]

Just don't go.

[Nibel]

Steve is right though, the last weddings I have been to the people in actual suits were in the minority; today a bunch of people just wear good looking casual wear, and that's fine. Check how strict the family is with that stuff and if they are relaxed about that shit, then wear good pants, a good shirt and good shoes.

[studyguy]

Something like this:



Trust me I'm an expert at this shit

[bork]

That's pretty pimp right there.  DBZ silk shirt guarantees attention from the ladies.



*will not be positive attention.

[bork]

fistful, real talk- You need to have at least one suit.  You never know when you might need to dress up formally.

All attention is good attention if you spin it right my man.
Just hit those girls at the wedding with your indepth knowledge of power levels, underage teenage girl ninjas and anthromorphic boat girls.

Also get a suit.

yeah unless her friends are real formal (or you know the wedding is gonna be) you can pick up some nice leather shoes, some dress pants, and a button up, all from the mall.

ofc if you have the money then getting a suit isn't a bad idea

[Phoenix Dark]

Don't buy online until you know your size. Better off going to a store and trying stuff on than buying the wrong suit

You know about this already, but she told me to stop doing that on GAF. That was what she banned me for.

[CatsCatsCats]

Studio suits is an exception mein breh, they give you detailed instructions on how to take extensive measurements and then they custom make it. Have your gf come over with a measuring ribbon

[studyguy]

Just don't do this shit.


The shoes 

[nudemacusers]

wear a suit like a proper person. who cares if everyone else is schlepping around in work polos and quintuple pleat khakis.

if you don't have a suit get a dark blue one.

[fistfulofmetal]

Thanks for the info. I'll take it all into account when I make my decision

Can't go wrong with a suit, but make sure you know you what you'd girlfriend is wearing first.

You don't need a suit. Get a nice, solid color shirt, a tie and an expensive pair of dress slacks.

[Phoenix Dark]

Don't listen to plebes, wear a suit. It'll boost your confidence, make you look good/feel good, and impress her female friends.

[Beezy]

Get a suit. Take it to a tailor if it doesn't seem to fit right.

Hawaii shirts and jeans. Maybe find a nice belt.

this seems complicated and expensive

[Mr. Gundam]

Go to Macy's. They regularly have sales on nice affordable suits. Plus they offer tailoring services if you need something adjusted.

[lennedsay]

Go the white boy way of khakis and polo or maybe a long sleeved button up.

[studyguy]

Not at all, just buy a cheap suit.
Have a tailor make adjustments. The only things you really need to make sure is that it's the right length and that the shoulders fit.
Altering length or shoulders would prob cost more than the suit. All you really should need to adjust is the waist and the cuffs tbh.

[brawndolicious]

You need a suit since at worst, you'll look better than anyone that doesn't have one. I mean it's a wedding, it's about as formal of an event that anyone can go to.

And honestly, you can find decent used suits on Craigslist. I had one suit that was like $200 from JC Penny that i of course bought new. Then 6 months later I got two more on Craigslist for $60 bucks (Hugo Boss Black and some sort if Zegna suit). I'm no nudemacuser so I had to look them up but they seem like actually very decent brands and I got the suit for less than a quarter of its original value if I remember correctly.

Get a suit. Take it to a tailor if it doesn't seem to fit right.

Yes fitting a suit is totally worth it. Just make sure the shoulders fit fine as adjusting the shoulders would roughly double the cost of the fitting.

It is expensive, that's why it's bad advice.

At your age, you will use a suit so infrequently that you will never really get the value out of that suit. Wait until you're a little older and better off, then buy a nice suit that will last you a decade (or more)

For the price of a cheap suit (at your current income level), you can get really nice dress clothes instead. Dress clothes that will last you  a decade and will get way more use as you can mix and match it with other clothing.

[bork]

It doesn't have to be super-expensive and there's shops that will tailor it for you when you buy it.  I can't imagine not owning at least one suit.

[Beezy]

Nah. Go to a Uniqlo or H&M if you want an okay cheap suit. Or Macy's like Gundam said.

[Phoenix Dark]

also: get a nice haircut.

[Fifstar]

Black trousers (no jeans) and a fitting white shirt is enough for a wedding imo.

[demi]

This fool putting so much thought into this. Just dress up and pretend you know how to be social, fool.

[nudemacusers]

stop being a pussy and wear a suit goddamn

your woman ain't cryin about a dress and heels

fuck

[Phoenix Dark]

Make sure to wear headphones and dance alone.

[fistfulofmetal]

scheduling a major job interview at a somewhat high end place sometime in the next week or two... going with a suit

will probably buy one this weekend.

[studyguy]

Just go naked. It shows initiative.

What a confusing thread, thanks Creepy Stalker.

seriously, stop being a whiny taco. plus once you have a suit you can wear it to the rest of the adult functions you'll attend during your life.

Bork told me in private to stop dragging up my brand of creeping into unrelated threads. Third & last warning.
