Hi -- I need a little help.
I have to go to an afternoon wedding on Martha's Vineyard Sept. 28. (5 days from now!) Ceremony is outdoors, reception indoors. Sunny weather. 70 degrees.
I was going to wear a khaki Banana Republic suit, but it seems it no longer fits in the waist, and its very wide legs are no longer in style. My only other suit is a slim cut, dark brown that's more for business.
Since this is on the Vineyard (dress code: "Jacket w/ or w/out a tie"), I thought a blazer and pants would be a good middle ground. It also saves me from buying a new suit, and I don't think I have the time to have a tailor work magic on the Khaki suit or a new one that would require alterations.
So.. what color blazer should I buy? What pants would go with it? (I desperately want to avoid the Thurston Howell look if possible.)
Is it possible to use the Khaki jacket from the suit as a blazer?
I think I prefer a light grey blazer, or maybe a chambray blue one I saw in Banana Republic.
I only have grey shoes (Aston Grey) to wear.
Thanks for any guidance!
