White Pants to a Wedding?

[raiderbuck]

Would you? My friend is getting married and I have a pair of (damn near) white chinos that I would like to wear. I hardly ever wear them. Would wearing them to an informal wedding be too much?

I'm on the fence about it.

Go for it. Why not? Pair with blazer.

Do not wear any kind of chinos to a wedding unless it's an informal wedding. If it's cocktail attire, my guess is that chinos would look too dressed down next to others in suits, or anyone wearing trousers.

I applaud your reading comprehension skills. Are you a lawyer by any chance?

It's a nice day
for a white wedding.

That only really applies to women.

Clearly, bright pink tuxedo shirts are the answer then.

No, of course not.

How informal is it?

Beach wedding?

White can be a bit OTT in the wrong environment...

Make sure you find out what others will be wearing. If everyone else is wearing suits, then you will end up looking out of place. You did mention it's an informal wedding, so throw on a blazer and (probably) a tie and it should be OK.

The wedding isn't formal. But I'd still wear a blazer and loafers.

See, this is why I'm on the fence haha. I know this holds true for women and dresses, but does it really matter for men's pants? EDIT...I should mention that it's outside on a golf course. with no tent. in August....why am I going to this wedding again?

Could work with a light blue jacket / blazer. That is a nice outfit I have in mind for myself.
