Trade the pants for black ones, black pocket square and black bowtie. Then it wouldn't look quite so out there. I dig that jacket though.
Dressing better

H&M is your only option at that price, at least if you want it to fit right OTR.
Target carries suits as well, not bad if you can find one that fits.
That sounds horrible. Black pants with a white/cream blazer jacket with a matching vest?
I can't even imagine how bad that would look.

Those Universals look nice.Originally Posted by donjuan513
Adidas Universals for casual wear, Sambas I wear with my Soccer jerseys.Originally Posted by DOWNTOWN43
i know this thread is all fancy-smancy and whatnot now... but i was wondering if anybody had some recommendations for nice, casual sneakers that can be worn with jeans and a t-shirt?
by "sneakers" i don't mean like half-cents and foams, i'm talking more about stuff like this:
I just wear Sambas on days that I dont feel like wearing Nikes. I used to just wear em for indoor soccer, but lately I've been bustin em out for work orany time I wear a black based shirt.

I forgot to mention the vest. either go with a black vest or no vest and a white jacket not cream... better?

I don't think mis-matching the pants and jacket would look good, especially with this color.
Especially since it will an evening, formal event, mismatching will make you look liek you are either a high-end restaurant waiter or going to work in theoffice.
Whatever he does, he should wear the same color and material pants and jacket. The vest could be a different color but I suggest it match the suit too.

I'm not talking about mismatching the tux. I wouldn't do that with an everyday suit much less. I'm just talking about abandoning the initial allcream look and going with the two toned look. I never thought it as waiter wear, as long as you know how carry yourself correctly and have the rightconfidence.

Oh, when you said trade in the pants for a black pair, you didn't mention to change up the blazer jacket as well so I thought you were suggesting to wear amismatched suit.

No need to be sorry, this is NT.
You need to be as clear as possible and yes I admit it, even to me.

To those that wear slacks/trousers, do you always have them pressed with a crease? I haven't bothered to look for pictures, but I figure that flat frontpants would look alright without the crease down the front of the leg. After sitting down most of the day, the crease usually looks messed up anyway so I wasconsidering not doing it anymore.

Flat front pants aren't supposed to have the crease.
If it had the crease, they would be pleated pants.

I don't think that wearing black pants with a cream jacket will by default make one look like a waiter, If it's done right it can look great. it'sa though task tho.
Perfect example,

What?!?! That's crazy talk. Flat front dress pants should always have a crease. Always. If you're talking chinos or pants of that ilk, then a creaseisn't necessary.
