I was considering wearing this tomorrow, as I said in an earlier post ive never worn a bowtie and kinda want to. But I need opinions
If it looks just totally horrible, I was going with this. Ive worn this tie before
Thoughts?

D you have a cardigan? I feel like that'd look better with the bowtie than the sweatervest. Or maybe even just a regular sweater. It's not a horrible outfit but the sweater vest with the super baggy shirt sleeves isn't a good look.

Navy sport coat could look good. And sleeves don't have to be baggy no matter how much you weigh.

I have some other shirts, some patterned, but alot of my white shirts are oxford and theyre heavier than I was goin for.
Maybe ill go with the navy sportcoat.
You think khakis and loafers are straight?

I think everything is generally a bit baggy but it doesn't look horrible at all. I know it can be tougher to pull off slimmer stuff if you're a bigger guy. I'm not a huge fan of khaki pants with khaki loafers, but again it's not terrible. Maybe some brown leather would look better especially if you go with the navy sportscoat.
What sort of occasion is this for? Unless it's something very casual I'd go navy coat, bowtie, khakis and brown leather if possible.

True, lot of different outfits so you'll be fine on that end. I think the navy coat would also just go better with the bowtie color-wise.

My first problem with it is the driving shoes/loafers with khakis, especially since they're baggy. I know you said you're a bigger guy but you can find something that tapers more. In relation to that, a sweater vest isn't all bad, it can be done right but it makes your midsection/body look even bigger, partly because of how the shirt bells out near the waist. For some reason I don't like the bowtie with the button-down collar, I think you'd be better off with the tie personally.

At least you weren't the guy that showed up wearing a jersey.
Joke.
Why didn't you just take off the jean jacket?

Is this pre-tied? If so, it looks upside down. It looks off for some reason, like its sloping upwards.Originally Posted by manamazing55

If you want to wear the bowtie, ditch the vest. After the ceremony, loosen up a bit and roll your sleeves so you'll look less formal, more approachable/relaxed. Otherwise, ditch the vest and wear the sportcoat. Bottom half doesn't look bad for what you're going for. Just don't wear socks with those drivers.
Present a strong upper half and you'll give'em no reason to look down.
