What colors are most flattering when dressing a man

When it comes to an informal wedding, you should never interpret that it is a celebration like the one we can do with our friends in a bar. For no reason, you should wear a t-shirt unless the bride and groom indicate that it is a super informal wedding and, even so, the t-shirt should be eliminated as a possibility.

Before any t-shirt, even a branded one, surely you have some polo shirt or a short-sleeved shirt without a collar, as long as the weather is good, although, as a long shirt for any event, there is no comparison in terms of elegance.

Just as we should not go to a celebration of this type with a shirt, also we must discard the jeans. I repeat: it is not a meeting with your friends in a bar, it is a special event where the bride and groom give us some freedom when it comes to dressing.

An informal act, automatically eliminates the tie or bow tie from any act. If you don't like going bare-chested (you don't have to go overboard either), you can choose to wear a collared shirt with all the buttons fastened except for the tie. Another option is a mao type shirt, without a collar.

Navy blue tuxedo

SuitSupply

It goes without saying that attending a wedding of this type in a tuxedo is absolutely out of place since that type of suit, if it were the case, can only be used by the groom, no other guest.

This is not a tag event.a, where the tuxedo is mandatory, wearing a suit, or plain trousers with a jacket is more than enough.

Cowboys their use is restricted to leisure with friends and day to day. This type of clothing, like its derivatives (jackets or shirts) are not well seen, neither in informal weddings nor in those that are halfway between formal and informal.

Just as jeans are not an ideal garment for this type of event, neither are other types of garments with holes, rips, or tears. I repeat: this type of clothing is for day-to-day or leisure time, not for events of any kind, no matter how well you think it suits you or even if you want to give the event a different touch.

The only thing you will achieve if you go with this type of clothing is that everyone points to you and be the talk of the event. In addition, you will subtract, for the worse, the protagonism of the couple, which in the end can affect the bonds of friendship that you have established with them.
