Advice for a man going to a wedding..

W123-80's

Hello all,

Just looking for some suggestions from you guys.
I'm a 33 year old man.

I have a wedding saturday.

I have a perfectly good, if a little boring, suit in the wardrobe ready to be worn.

On the other hand I also have a jacket I picked up in TK max around a year ago that I have never got the opportunity to wear. Its FCUK and it is beige with a sorf of a pin stripe.
I considering giving it a debut run, if I can arrange a decent outfit around it. It might make a nice change from my boring suit.

I couldn't find an exact image of it, but the attached link is an idea of what I have. It's one button, single breasted & fitted.

I am hoping to wear it with a tie and don't really want to wear jeans. I am keen to avoid ending up looking too preppy (if thats the right word??).. i.e navy pants, white shirt, beige blazer..

Anyway, any suggestions greatly appreciated. I'm not afraid of a splash of colour.

Also, if you think it's a bad idea to wear this to a wedding feel free to let me know. I'm looking for all opinions.

Cheers.

I like it, Do not wear jeans please! Go for a shirt similar to the one in the pic maybe an a dark trouser + a good pair of shoes. Just wear what you like that's what I say!

Wear a suit to a wedding, jacket and slacks is fine for going out to dinner but a little casual for a wedding.

it's a wedding, so it's somebody else's 'big day' - best to wear the suit as that will be probably be closer to what the wedding party will be wearing, and is understood as a greater expression of respect than to follow your personal preferences for less formal clobber.
I reckon it would be easier to look well in the suit (shoes, tie, little extras) than trying out another look
hope that's some help. If you are going with someone best to let them know in advance what you've decided on

Cheers guys,

I messed around with a couple of options this evening.
I've decided to go with the suit, safer bet.!

Will keep the jacket on ice for a party or some other more casual function.

Cheers.!

I think that jacket is fab. Navy pants, navy tie... Really nice.

A blazer like that, casual shirt and smart trousers like chinos etc look great.
