Clothing advice for a lunch function

[Chouan]

Thanks Gents for all your help. A white shirt it will probably be with no braces. I'm going to do some research on pocket squares. I was thinking white (perhaps satin or silk to be glizy as the venue looks glitzy) in just a simple line like this:-

A stuffed in silk job will look best. Patterned or not won't matter.

Thanks Chouan and all previous posters.

I will probably be going for a navy suit (certainly not black or brown), no braces, no tie with either a white or probably a pale blue shirt and stuffed in pocket square.

Just out of interest, I assume the pocket square should not be the same colour as the shirt? would it look of to match the shoe colour

 

[Chouan]

I would suggest that it should be a different colour to the shirt, or be loudly patterned such that it looks different enough to not be mistaken for a match. The shoe colour shouldn't make any difference.

Cheers Chouan, I thought it should look different to the shirt, I was thinking it could perhaps match the shoes though??

 

[Chouan]

Can do, but it isn't important, in my opinion. Depends upon the shoes I suppose!

What is the nature of the function - networking would suggest something more relaxed. So, consider a lighter coloured suit and certainly no braces. If it is going to drift on into the evening then coats will all but certainly be taken off by 4pm.
