Suit, no tie

corblimey

I've got a wedding next month, and was thinking of wearing a nice 3 piece with no tie. The last time I tried it, it was a 2 piece, and it just looked like I'd forgotten to bring a tie. Anyone got any tips for pulling this look off, or should I stick with the classic suit and tie?

Might be better suited here, moved from TGC.

Personally I'd say for the ceremony at least, stick with a tie, especially for a 3 piece.

You always have the option then of taking off the tie later at the reception if it's really getting too stuffy for you.

3 piece is too formal to wear without a tie. Two piece is fine, but will look best with a well cut suit and a well chosen shirt with a good collar.

Tbh, just wear a tie, at least for the ceremony. Unless its an informal wedding, but you're better off starting overdressed- it's easier to dress down if you've got it a bit wrong than up!

Doesn't matter if it's a two or three piece, it will look like you forgot your tie.

I would consider it a bit disrespectful also to not bother with a tie on the first place.

Wear a tie. Infact if I was to advise I'd say drop the waistcoat. They are a bit out of fashion nowadays I think (unless you are actually part of the wedding party). A nice suit and tie minus the waistcoat would look a lot nicer in my opinion.

Definitely wear a tie. Three piece looks silly without it IMO, see Brendan O'Connor for reference

just to go against the majority ...

I would go with bluefoam above;

If going no tie then essential thats its a really well cut suit and a comparable nicely fitted nice shirt. I think for men that are slim/very slim and do this then the no tie look can be really nice. Sometimes for really slim people a tie can look school boyish.

Went to a wedding with a guy that was way too thin (health issues) and got to say the no tie look really worked for him and brought out his "atractiveness"

For me - its no way disrespectfull to go to a wedding with no tie.
Much worse to go with a tie half on.

Edit - again if no tie then wear a proper fitted shirt not one of those baggy "yokes" that most men stick on under a suit.
