Yes really.

DS going to a wedding abroad and they are all to wear white. It’s in Greece in August.

Any suggestions would be great

A classy jumpsuit? πŸ˜‰πŸ˜

CatsOnTheChair · 20/05/2023 11:41

For you or DS?

You: there was a thread recently complaining that SiL wore a white jumpsuit. Find that, and track down the item.

DS: as light a chinos as you can find and a white shirt or White suit depending on age.

I say go full out meringue, lace, chiffon, veil - the works! πŸ˜‰

Chocbuttonsandredwine · 20/05/2023 12:38

It’s for DS. He’s 16

A white linen suit

DuchessOfSausage · 20/05/2023 12:40

I was going to suggest the SIL's jumpsuit from another thread too.
Your DS coud get an elvis jumpsuit.

DuchessOfSausage · 20/05/2023 12:41

could not coud
Ah-huh-hah!

I'd say some pale chino-y type trousers and a white shirt - all white in menswear looks a bit weird I think! Like this: https://i.pinimg.com/originals/d2/1b/4f/d21b4f075c6ddca0871630e1b789bd0f.jpg

Or does it have to be head to toe white?

H&M mens have a very nice white linen shirt.

Something like this?

RachelGreensHair · 20/05/2023 14:56

Does it have to be all white, esp if he's never going to wear it again? A nice white shirt and light coloured trousers would do.

RachelGreensHair · 20/05/2023 14:57

Or he could go full Harry Styles.

They tend to be. Wry smart. So a white linen suit. Anything else will be too hot.
White shirt , white tie

StColumbofNavron · 20/05/2023 15:26

We went to a wedding like this in Turkey once. Everyone looked great. Mostly smart shorts of chino material or light coloured chinos and white linen shirts.

Suit

fellrunner85 · 20/05/2023 16:42

White or cream linen suit, T shirt or vest under it, a la Harry Styles. He'd look fabulous.

Chocbuttonsandredwine · 20/05/2023 16:43

Thinking creamish shorts and white linen shirt and driving shoes. It’s going to be hotter than the sun and he’s only a distant guest so I’m sure it’ll be fine.

Have suggested Harry Styles outfit..

marshmallowmatcha · 20/05/2023 16:46

If he's 16 I don't think shorts. What is his dad wearing? Can't his dad sort this out for him?

Chocbuttonsandredwine · 20/05/2023 17:02

His dad has the worst dress sense ever.

Sounds spot on. Many wear chino shorts now at destination weddings and can still look smart. Full suit would be crazy for Greece in the summer. At a push Chino trousers and short sleeved shirt

Highdaysandholidays1 · 20/05/2023 17:06

I'm just thinking now an all-white/pale/cream wedding in such a beautiful location would be fabulous!

There's a bridesmaid in the society (Princess someone or other) wedding in today's newspaper who didn't get the 'don't wear a long white floaty dress' memo, although her pashmina is pale pink. She does not look like The Bride!

LaDamaDeElche · 20/05/2023 17:12

I'd go with shorts. It's going to be hotter than the fires of hell in Greece in August. You can get sone nice tailored ones. I've been to lots of Spanish weddings and loads of the Spanish guys wear shorts if it's a summer wedding, so this could be normal in Greece too.
