well may is p. borderline for "summer" but regardless i think the correct answer is "a suit in a seasonally appropriate weight and material that matches the overall formality of the event."

in other words, do you know what your sister is expecting? what's the groom wearing? as someone who's going to be in the wedding pictures the ppl getting married sort of owe you at least high-level guidance.

i like j. crew pique polos.

hoos: charcoal suit + white shirt + a tie

yup. for a spring wedding, if it's ok with your sis, you might be able to do a lighter grey also.

cad otm. Maybe even prince of wales check or similar?

cosign on the jcrew pique polos.

ordered this tonight. i think it seems like a solid fall coat but i wish they weren't sold out of the light khaki.

hoos, whatever you do stay away from seersucker and linen. resist the temptation to gatsby it up.

i like that green a lot.

i have high hopes for it. the problem with online shopping is sizing. hopefully if it's too small i will have time to exchange it before it sells out... it's from "jackthreads.com" and their stuff sells out fast.

agree seersucker is not a good idea for anyone who's going to be in wedding photos but the only reason i'm not strongly advocating for linen is because the wedding is a bit too early for it. linen is awesome.

dont listen to these noobs hoos what you want is a fedora and a tuxedo shirt and some sort of pants and shoes

although actually barefoot could work

anyway i think imna buy these, theyre pretty spensive but 25% off today, feel like sort of a dork getting the jcrew vers, but theyre unfortunately way cooler than the originals

i own a couple jcrew polos fwiw and im not sold on the cut, i dont understand i never wear polos but i own many of them, i believe deep down someday i will find the polo for me

might get some knock off new balances too http://www.newgoodseller.net/new-balance-997-men-shoes-in-gray-and-blue-p-167099.html

those quoddys are rad

Wait, how do you know those are knock-offs? And shouldn't they be less than $74 in that case??

its a known knock off site, new ones run like $160 so its a good deal but not a ridic steal, apparently theyre pretty high quality tho, a lot of knock offs are just totally shitty w like soles that wear down after three uses or fed up workmanship and what have you

The world is so full of a number of things.

i know right

there ought be a guidebook or

loads of pairs of new balance are about £55 (sterling) - they may not be knock-offs. they just have tons of ltd editions and stuff, which do go up to v high prices.

yeah there are cheaper new balance just those one are kinda pricey

what winter jumpers are you all wearing? am looking for a fairly basic crew neck at the moment.

i like this as a bit more of a statement tho, kinda reminds me of something my dad might have worn in the 80s.

my sweaters are all really boring--gray, maroon, navy wool. i think i need something in light brown or oatmeal or one of those colors.

I've wound up with way too much of my work clothing from Banana Republic and need to introduce some other stuff. I keep picking up a shirt or slacks with 40% off plus some add'l 20% off coupon, so I wind up with pretty good dress shirts for $25 or so -- true non-irons for my lazy ass. But I would like to change it up a little. I've done Charles Tyrwhitt and BB before but sort of disappointed with how the shirts hold up.

if you're worried about boring then try less neutral colors? i mean oatmeal & lt brown aren't exactly thrilling additions to your color palette, be real

I love that burgundy statement jumper!

xp oh i didnt really mean boring in a pejorative way! mostly i'm good w/solid sweaters in complimentary colors.

what winter jumpers are you all wearing?

If you can find Vince sweaters priced well at Nordstrom Rack, Marshall's, etc., they're terrific. Pricey at full price, but I've gotten mine for $50-ish.

so my takeaway is that this is an elaborate scheme on behalf of Arden Reed to take Yalie dick pics

wouldn't be the first time that that has happened
