I gotta be in a wedding in 2 weeks. Apparently I have to get suit. Never bought or worn a suit before as a 33 year old. Should I get a navy suit from bonobos? The problem is idky suit size.Additionally if any of you /fa/ females want to be my wedding date or know of someone that would please let me know. lastmelon
>>18771645Just go to jos a bank and get a cheap suit or rent one from mens warehouse. Also you don't have to wear a suit to a wedding unless you're in the family
>>18771763I'm a groomsman. I don't have any of that so I got to go to dillards. Navy or Burgundy for a suit right?
>The problem is idky suit sizetwo weeks isn't enough time to get real suit measurements.off-the-rack suits will be sold by jacket size, so get a soft tape and figure that out.ideally you would get it tailored for a better fit, but at this point you might need to pay extra for rushed service.they might want all the groomsmen to match, double-check with whomestever invited you what they have in mind for color coordination or if you're cool to just get whatever.
>>18771645dark navy is fine and you'll get more use out of it than a black suit.2 weeks out is really tight. your options are to get one off the rack and get it tailored asap, or go to Suitsupply. they have tailors in-house so they're pretty good in terms of getting a fitted suit ready in a pinch
>>18771787>>18771788I thought navy is the most versatile I was told never to get a black suit since they were for funerals. Like I said I'm going to Dillard's as they have some suits but I was not told to wear any sort of color. I guess it's not that formal.Where do I find a date? Tinder? I posted my discord on soc so that may work but I don't want to be the only guy there without a date. Pic is all I got so far
>>18771793just go on backpages and hire an escort.
>>18771645Update: I went to Dillard's and got a deep navy suit they did some alterations. I look corny AF but it will only be for one day. $850 for a whole suit and I don't think it was name brand. Off to get a date
>>18772078Another update I can't purchase a date because I spent it all on a dumb suit.
>>18772109Just go aloneWhy lie to people, you're a bachelor, embrace it
>>18771645>pull a baddieWhat the fuck are you trying to do? That doesn't make sense to anyone.
>>18772221>>18772226Isn't getting a wedding date something people do regularly? I have seen dating profiles that say they are looking for a +1 for an upcoming wedding. I have tried the same but I'm not getting good results. I even grew a moustache.
>>18772232No? What kind of weird social media bullshit did you fall for keklmao
>>18772232yeah those people are likely attractive women who want a simp so they aren't embarrassed going alone or to be able to tell the unc in attendance she already has a bf. women will use and discard a +1, and are unlikely to even treat it like a date.an attractive man publishing he wants a +1 for a wedding is someone who is deeply closeted. not gay at all, straight as an arrow. ask him if he's gay and he'll correct you saying no he's not gay. he's deeply closeted.if you're in decent shape your job as a wedding guest is to meet and charm a single lady who is also there alone. weddings are notoriously good opportunities for beginning something with someone. even if she puts out that night, expect it to have meant something to her and an expectation put on you.>>18771763>Also you don't have to wear a suit to a wedding unless you're in the familyIs this true? I'm RSVP'd to a wedding and reception later this year but hate suits and have a super comfy sweater I want to wear with dress shirt and tie underneath. It'll be cold enough weather for it to be appropriate.
>>18772236So you don't take random women out to weddings? Then why do they advertise that? >>18772243I'm not gay or anything either but I was told to bring a date by my family. Butmy family knows that I've always struggled with women. Figured I could just ask a femanon to join since the woman on dating apps will disappear.I am in decent shape and looks.but I'm not native to Asheville or anywhere near there as I think the bride is from there. If there is a single woman in attendance I don't think I would make a move or anything because my family is there.
>>18772280>If there is a single woman in attendance I don't think I would make a move or anything because my family is there.Ignore them. If it happens you'll just disappear from the party to a hotel room. And don't make any moves, just talk to whoever seems most interested in you. This ofc all supposes that you have a car and a job.
>>18772282I think you are mistaken, I'm not interested in courting any woman at this wedding unless it's someone I bring and truly I just want them there as an accessory so I'm not alone. I'm not from the area and I will only be there for 4 days with my family. I only know the groom.
>>18772232"Baddie" means "attractive woman"? That's what I'm now concluding due to your context of 'getting a wedding date'. Fuck, I hate the future of slang.
>>18771645How do I grow a moustache like Selleck? Do I need to cut it into a shape or something?
>>18772351yea you have to cut it into this shape and it'll grow back fuller, helps if you have those strong german genes. even some of their women can grow it
>>18772341"bad bitch" has meant the same thing since the '80s, baddie is just shorter
>>18771645If you are a regular guest:Beige khakis, white dress shirt (no pocket, french placket), medium/light jeans colored blazer. Medium brown leather shoes and belt. Get a tie that has some reference to the blazer color, and don't be afraid of a little floral or paisley motif. You'll be both very safe and very dapper at the same time, and most of the pieces are useful in daily life so you're not wasting money on a single use item.Dont forget to shave/trim facial hair and get a haircut. Pic related for the blazer color and general vibe.If you have an active role:Step 1: ask the bride/bridesmaid for color guidance.Step 2: Go to the local mens formal wear tailor and tell them what you told us (you need a suit for a wedding in 2 weeks), notifying them of the color guidance and trust their professional judgment.
>>18773976Oh and the exposed ankles are very very optional in my opinion. I prefer to have the hem of the khakis fall straight onto the shoe when standing, so your socks are visible only when you sit down and only a little. Socks should either be statement pieces (connect to tie and blazer) or a smooth transition from the khakis to the shoes.And skip the watch imho. You are celebrating, not catching a train. Dont be looking at the time.
