Im going to be toastmaster at my friends wedding and I though i might wear this:



Is it too much? I think i looks nice, but suspect it might be a bit too businessy for a wedding.

Cheers,

Mgz

I WAS going to wear a plain suit, but realized too late what cycling does to one´s thighs. So the thing that can´t be changed is the suit. The wedding will probably be quite informal, but I´d still like to look sharp.

I hope that you would not wear that suit for business - not at all right.

For your present purpose it is also wrong - if you were a minor guest then OK but as "Toast Master" and assuming that you are not required to wear the correct apparel for such job then get yourself a plain charcoal or dark blue suit. The shirt and tie will do.

I can´t wear suits to work so no. I was thinking mainly of the striped shirt.

suit and shirt is ok with me, but the tie is not what I would wear.

Yeah, three buttons. Here´s a slightly better picture. The color is more accurate in this one.

It's not "too much", but I just don't think the combination looks particularly good...

One of my concerns was that everything is blue or white, but since everything is patterned I thought that it would calm everything down a bit. What would you change?
