This is for our wedding.

He has got this great shirt but not sure what to put with it.

Thinking along the lines of 3/4 lengths and mules but neither of us very confident in putting stuff together......

Any thoughts or ideas appreciated. Ta.

Three quarter lengths and mules? On a man?? AM I to assume this is no church wedding?

It is a registry office wedding followed by a picnic. The intention is informal!

What are you wearing?
Just to give me an idea of how informal we are talking

Took a little more than a minute!!

So I'm wearing that with flat jewelled toe-post sandals.

too casual?

They're not 3/4 length though

smallishsheep · 13/05/2010 19:07

When is your wedding?
Are you sure you're not being a little....optimistic about the weather?

Oh thank you.

I think he probably needs something a little more 'rugged' and yes, ideally 3/4 length or even long shorts.

I think it's best to at least enter into a wedding with optimism

It's mid June.

I'm ignoring the fact that it's now mid May and I'm still wearing my winter coat!

combat style?

mouseling · 13/05/2010 19:17

I think he would be much more comfortable with combats.

Do you think they can be acceptable wedding-wear?

And do they work with the shirt?

Just going to go and sort the kids out with a bath, back later.

scurryfunge · 13/05/2010 19:19

Yep, would go with the shirt.

Your wedding, you can both wear what you like and what you feel most comfortable in

Thank you scurryfunge, you are very diplomatic!

You don't think the trousers should be blue / grey with that shirt?

OP posts:
scurryfunge · 13/05/2010 20:08

Maybe, from the photo, is the shirt more blue? I think I was looking more at the style rather than the colour. Grey would be good. I couldn't be bothered with all the fancy stuff at our wedding...although my DH hired an outfit,I bought myself a cream dress I liked off the high street.

Yes the shirt is blue.

We've been together a long time and have three children.

We want to feel good on the day but also comfortable and are not in a position to be extravagant.

Sounds great....if I got married again (ahem) I think I would do a beach wedding, somewhere hot

Original poster
mouseling · 13/05/2010 20:57

On the beach would have been our preferred option, just not in a position to do it and not likely to be in the foreseeable future!

Nevermind...maybe Clacton next year!
