Hello
I have tried searching and reading a lot of links/thread before joining here
Yes, I have got a lot of info already but i want some more of specifics of my clothing colors.
Here is what i have planned for a ceremony wedding of a friend (no i am not a bestman or any very important person)
1) Suit- Light to Medium Grey with white pinstripes (small spaced)
I have enough of black & brown wear. Dont like blue much . Lately i heard a lot of versatility of Grey and got one AND i LOVE STRIPES (be it shirts, suit or even my wallpaper )
I preferred large spaced stripes but didnt get one in branded outlets. Didn't have time left to make a bespoke suit (may be next time)
2) Shirt-Solid White Cotten with F.Cuffs (nice intricate woven pattern)
I love french cuffs and barrels cuffs are getting in minority in my wardrobe with time.
Its a very nice fabric with normal (non fancy) pearl buttons.
3) C.Links- Golden colored with crystals or Simple solid patterned Chrome plated
I am open to change here and have a good collection.
4) Tie - Small rectangular block pattern of yellow & golden mustard
Its a nice tie and satin/combo IMO (sorry i am bad at detecting fabric nature sometimes). I am open to change here with Skyblue (satin IMO) one
5) PS- Solid Mustard Golden with yellow border
I am open to change here and have a good collection of PS .Mainly Satin and silk(rarely wear cotton; have one in my trouser pocket always anyway)
PS is more of a non-functional aesthetic accessory only for me except when its made of cotton
6) Shoes- Medium Tan (Brown)
I read a lot about grey suit and shoe color and i tell you even good sources online are full of contradictions , leave the online views of people (even so called senior ones). spent some 3 hours 1 day reading/searching about it.
Brown is generally all fine and goes well with dark grey
In this case it light to medium grey. Issue being i cant call the color either.Rarely good sources have advised brown with light grey
They are derby's. I dont like oxfords at all.(sorry oxford lovers) I tried them and to me they looked nice as grey suit with all the above is mellow enough and all accessories like tie /ps/C.links etc seem to be the focus
->Have a thread about that
7) Belt - Reddish-Cherry brown
Pictured in above thread itself. Looked fine to me though with shoes
8) Socks - Grey
same as Trousers. I prefer same continuity when shoes are taken off. Due to some reason i have to take off shoes often, personal reasons /ceremony/event related
I have pictures ready, of all of these, with someone of my size, wearing them all
But before posting wanna know the views of people who wear formal wear a lot. Dont want them to be biased after seeing images
Personally, i am not a newbie to suits but not a pro either.
I decide suit characters & accessory color and stuff in the following order of Importance/Match
First and Foremost "Suit" Then > Shirt > Shoes ( Socks & Belt) > Tie >PS > Cuff Links> Miscellaneous (Lapel Pin, Watch, Tie Knots, Tie pin/tacs, etc)
Yes, to me, the above looks fine to good (if not mirror cracking)
(please dont write that "you wear it if you like it" I know , i believe that statement but that doesnt solve the purpose of thread i.e. know views of others)
Thanks in advance
I know time of everyone is precious
