Clothing challenge – Trousers to accompany a blue blazer at a wedding?

My sister’s wedding to be precise and I’m giving her away. It’s only semi formal so can’t be doing with a suit.

Wedding in 25 hours and I’m going to the shops now – my least favourite thing in the world. I’m hoping to find some (useful) responses when I park up.

ta v much.

Slacks. Dark Grey in colour.

Beige, surely?

Haha! Tan Chinos of course. You’ll look THE. BIZ. 😀

No! I’ve got it… RED. Has to be

RED trousers with a blue jacket. Anyfoolnose.

White. What could go wrong?

Oh, and skip the socks.

Classic combo – always grey flannels with navy blazer.

H&M do canvas jeans for not a lot of money in grey or black. depending on the on the shade of the jacket you could get a shirt to either match the shade of the jacket or the trousers to tone down the look.

Do you have the jacket with you? Ask the shop assistants

Just ask any Mum in the street.
Mothers have been dressing boys at weddings for a long time.

I’ve gone 46 years and never really know what slacks were.

They are the opposite of tights. Obviously 👍

Pink. Navy jacket, pink troos, brown shoes. There is a geezer on here who know’s his way around all this stuff but can’t remember his username. Will go digging.

Don’t forget the captain’s hat to go with the blazer. Truly a classic look…

cravat over tie aswell- see above

Salmon.

Don’t forget the turn-ups….

Pink for a statement or dark grey for bland. Just don’t go too baggy. To be honest if you are in lots of photos, go bland. French Connection do a nice range of tight cotton trousers. Some decent brown shoes too. No tie? Buy a decent shirt with a good pattern that has some blue in it.

Just make sure it all fits, and doesn’t hang off you.

Mmmmm Cravat. Niiiiice

^ following on from that pic., surprised there’s not been a shot of Tim Nice but Dim in standard Fulham kit of blazer, rugger shirt & jeans. Gosh!

Mustard cords. Obviously.

Just go for the full Michael Portfolio look

Trousers at a wedding? In general yes, unless you know the bride/mil/groom/ really, really well

As to what kind of trousers, we need more info:. Will you be going in flats or clips?

Sort of sorted.

Firstly, I think I’ve changed generation since I last went to a bricks and mortar clothes shop. Secondly, shopping high streets on a week day – there’re a funny old mix of the old, the feckless and yummy mummies aren’t they.

First shop suggested both white and light pink trousers – get in the sea.

Ended up with yet another pair beige trousers – like a posh (Hugo Boss no less) chino with a bit of texture. Going to see if I can get away with wearing some oxblood red DM shoes with it without getting too many scornful looks from Mrs C. A white shirt posh enough to take cuff links so I can wear a pair of my old mans who sadly didn’t make it to seeing my little sister happily married. It’s going to be an odd old day giving her away when it should really have been him.

Next – the speech.

edit – and the informal attire – it’s at a ****ing petting zoo! A posh one I admit but I look a right wazzok in a suit at the best of times.

Cricket bags, shurely ??

TBH I’d have thought a suit (sans tie) was less formal than a blazer? Haven’t owned a blazer since the one my mum bought for me to wear to school.

Smugglers + Mirror shades

Medallion if you want to make a statement.

I’m hoping it looks op now the op has unstitched the badge 😉
Suit no tie sounds much better as casual for me though but given its a petting zoo why not some tweed and cap plus sheep farmers crook, hipsterbstyle but useful if one of the lambs does a runner
