Two Summer Weddings

[doublemazaa]

I have two weddings this summer, one in late July, the other in late August. One is outside afternoon wedding in Colorado in the mountains, reception at a historic hotel in town. The other is in upstate NY, in a barn.

I have a navy suit, but that's too formal. I could just sport slacks, dress shirt and tie, but I'd rather find something a bit more interesting.

Any advice on what I should be looking into?

Thanks!

I'd be thinking about an odd jacket and trou, in cotton or linen.

Perhaps some great medium brown shell cordovan shoes - derbies of some sort or even a single monk. Sturdy shoes seem appropriate for outdoors and barns and shell is both sturdy and elegant.

I have AE Strand in Walnut, I was thinking that would be a fine choice.

Yep - that will do just fine for both weddings. Good color and not too formal.

DAMN you just talked yourself out of a new pair of shoes!

Now to settle in on the rest.

Invest in a linen or beige suit

Can anyone suggest some online retails who have good selection of casual jackets in smaller sizes (36s).

Thanks!

Spoo has an Isaia on the block that is pretty great - although perhaps a bit flashy for a wedding.

A GREAT BUY
