I like this a lot, but I'm not sure how practical wearing a suit jacket over a cardigan over a turtleneck is. In fact, my body temperature is rising just thinking about it.

Or is that a vest and not a cardigan?

Either way, I'm not sure how practical any of those looks are in an office setting.

Glad I'm not the only one who gets warm super easy. I think it can work if the weather calls for it but knowing this dude is wearing a turtleneck, vest and jacket on a shoot likely in the Spring or Summer in the NYC heat just makes me sweat.

White dress shirt. You have options. Do you know the color of the wedding party or your date.

Personally would go with a diagonal striped tie.

 

[burymeag]

its not formal and its a wedding where there is no color or anything lol. basically you can wear what you want.

its people from my church getting married and anytime that happens people wear black suits with random ties or whatever lol

Here a few that I personally liked, considering it's a white shirt you can pretty much go with any tie.

Navy/White Polka Dots (other colors available too)

Gray/White Linen Diagonal Stripe

Turquoise/White Micro Dot Tie

Gray/Turquoise Diagonal Stripe

Gray/Pink Diagonal Stripe

 

[soleasian]

Shepherd's check or houndstooth tie

Thanks guys! but another question... do you have to wear a white dress shirt to a wedding? any other color?

i was wondering about the dress shirt the dude is wearing in the pic with that gray tie.... thoughts?

Have any of you guys ever returned something to a store but actually didn't buy it from there? Basically bought some dockers(Dockersdotcom) a while back and want to see if Macy's will give me store credit or something if I return them there. ( tags are still on)

No. Macy's wouldn't take it back anyway because you don't have their sticker that they put on the item(s) after the transaction has been tendered.

No you don't, white shirts just tend to be the easiest shirts to pair a suit and tie with since it's pretty much a blank canvas. I'm a big fan of micro check shirts especially blue or purple.

Why don't you just try it and tell us what happens?

What's the worse that can happen? You get embarrassed because they find out you didn't buy it from them?

Your tie should touch the tip of your belt. Also that shirt tie combo needs a blue blazer to break it up. Personally I would have ditched the tie. And went with a blazer.

Yeah I know. Its 105 and feels like 120 w/ 95% Humidity in Texas right now. I didn't wanna put this on. I toured the Toyota plant where they make the Tundra and didnt want my tie getting caught in anything. Almost happen earlier in the day when I toured the Hennessy shop.


Thanks for looking out though.

For those that think rolled chinos and high waters are a new trend, the British working class has been doing this for decades and still killing the look.

This is my last week at Lockheed so I won't be able to make the planned purchases this fall . All good though, I'm more excited about graduating and starting a real job soon after.
I've made so many connections this summer in Maryland and Denver, hopefully they will help out once the job hunt starts up

 

[joepac12]

Either make the tie longer to do what the other guy suggested. Blazer and no tie.

 

[blaz3n]

Anyone lucky enough to buy the white label mercer pants that released yesterday? (Today in stores)

Long term goals, bro.

That's music to my ear.
