I must be colour blind or missing a parrot but I can't see a grey suit n black/purple shirt there?

You're colour blind.

The suit can stay.
All the rest goes.
White shirt, light blue tie, black belt and shoes.

Job jobbed!

Imagine the happy couple looking back at their wedding photos in twenty years' time. The fashionable today will look laughable and the calmly classically dressed will look at worst passable and at best spot on.

Shirt is M&S ffs its middle of the road normal. How bad can it be?!

Is M&S your tailor? Surely you aren't referring to the supermarket?

I've done sts that were a more appealing colour

Sorry but I think the shirt is shocking, and would look worse with a purple tie. My personal choice would be a nice crisp white shirt with a tie to add colour.

Last wedding I went to I wore a similar coloured suit, a white shirt and a dark blue tie which matched the blue of my girlfriend's outfit. It worked well. That said if you're wearing a white shirt with a light coloured suit there is a danger of looking a bit washed out, it depends on your complexion. I'm quite tanned (or swarthy depending on how polite) so there was some contrast, if you were really pale skinned it could all look a bit bland.

Shirts fine but that suit................

[acd80]

That shirt is awful.

Please don't tell me you're wearing slip on shoes as well?

Well, it looks High Street, and peak lapels on a single-breasted coat may be viewed as rather caddish, but that shirt is fine?

Do you people work in IT or something?

Gotta laugh at some of the replies in this thread.

That suit does look like one my old English teacher would wear.

[The GMan]

That suit and shirt will make you look like the bloke that runs the waltzer waiting to go to court.

This +1

I was always told the man should compliment the woman so whatever colour she is wearing you wear a plain suit, white shirt with a tie to match her.

Back to that suit/combo. Nothing particuarly wrong with it. Nothing particuarly right with it. If I had to wear it I'd go sans tie.

Light is a bit off but you get the gist.

Not my taste and they don't really match, you might carry the shirt off with a dark suit

if you add a tie with that I suspect it will look like you picked 3 items of clothing at random, rather than just two

You are clearly a man of impeccable taste.
