Hi folks,
I'll be attending a friend's wedding here soon and I'm trying to remember how to dress properly after having been away from social events for so long. Is it ever appropriate to wear the vest from a 3 piece suit as an odd vest? I'm a bigger guy and I feel much more confident with a vest. The attire is "formal" but knowing the couple I suspect they mean "no denim." I think a 3-piece suit may be slightly over-dressed, though that is likely what I'll end up with if this doesn't work.
Would this combo work, or is it too much of the same color palette? Thinking of a flat white shirt with emerald grenadine tie and black oxfords (not pictured) to go with it. If the vest is out, does the rest work without it, or should I just go with the navy 3-piece suit the vest is from?
