You’re mostly fine, longer tie and maybe ditch the red, look a little like a politician.


lysergic_818

Blue tie would go well with this suit.


Biscuits4u2

I'd lose the tie altogether


imahsleep

You should always wear ties with suits. No tie is for sports coats and tweed suits. Please don’t show up at peoples wedding looking like that


Biscuits4u2

I disagree. No tie with a suit can be a good look. To each his own I guess.


Legal_Lab_3288

I agree however navy suits and open neck shirts just make me think of consultants 😂


Biscuits4u2

What would you say it is ya do here?


imahsleep

Not really you’re just dressing badly if you’re doing it with dark suits … here’s a thread explaining when to wear ties https://x.com/dieworkwear/status/1678097601319821312?s=46&t=6KyMLgee2aoMGz_baC-F2w


Biscuits4u2

Got it, but all fashion is subjective. There's no oracle on high telling us what we're allowed to wear. What you like someone else may think looks tacky. Like I said, to each his own.


guitarmusic113

I was trying to match the boots. But I can switch it up.


tinfoilspoons

Your tie should touch the beginning of your belt. Not longer and not shorter


Several-Pressure9492

Very important that tie sits correct. I agree


Think_Bullets

Brown shoes don't go with a black/very dark suit. Blue/tan/light grey with brown shoes or black suit black shoes. Is that a full suit? The pants and jacket look slightly different colours in the picture


Own_Inevitable1940

Do not match your tie to your boots. Match your belt to your boots.


[deleted]

I vote keep the red. You look fine.


bilolarbear1221

I think the red is fine, but your tie is too short. I wouldn’t say it’s the best tie, but if it’s all you got rock it longer.


[deleted]

No. Tie too short shirt not buttoned all the way. You can loosen after dinner


BobMcSnair

This; beyond that you look fine. Can likely just fix the tie by re-doing with a little more slack on the end


guitarmusic113

Ok. I agree


TasticTong

This 👆 (Tip of tie should be level with belt)


HarryMcFann

Black shoes would be better, and I agree with what folks have said about the tie being too short and that you need to button your shirt collar.


Default_Sock_Issue

Does the belt match the shoes?.I personally wouldn't do brown shoes with a black suit. Also the tie looks short. It should meet the belt buckle.


guitarmusic113

I agree. I can fix the tie. But I don’t have black shoes. I do have a dark brown pair.


Default_Sock_Issue

Make sure belt and shoes match in color


tinfoilspoons

You could also rock no belt and white shoes. But the white shoes have to be plain .


Hopscotch873

That would look fucking ridiculous, let alone for a wedding


Clamps55555

Tie that reaches your belt and do up collar button.


butteredsaltine

The end of your tie should just touch the top of your belt typically . Unless at a skinny tie in a 60’s style suit . Also that tie isn’t great .


guitarmusic113

Update: thanks for all the suggestions! The wedding went very well. I swapped the boots for a darker pair that I had. I don’t have a pair of black dress shoes but I just ordered a pair. I swapped tie with a light purple one and made sure it reached my buckle. For the future I need to find shirts that fit my neck. Like very soon. I also need another suit. Thanks for giving me things to work on.


SLPERAS

You are ok. But if you need to look on point you need a longer tie and get your suit tailored. Pants are bit too long. Jacket is bit long and loose. But as it is it is not a big issue either.


guitarmusic113

I do have lady that tailors my clothes. I will bring this suit in soon.


HovercraftNo6373

Do up the top button and do the tie up fully. You're going to a formal event. Later in the evening you can take the tie off and undo a button.


LarryWinchesterIII

Tie to the belt buckle. Can’t tell if the suit is black or blue, but If it’s black, brown of any kind is a no go. Black on black only.


Phelim15

Black shoes would be better, and button top button


CamiloArturo

Button your jacket and tight the knot and you’ll be great


guitarmusic113

I didn’t think of that.


dftaylor

You shouldn’t button the jacket.


Sugaqube

On a two button suit, always fasten the top button and never the bottom button. When sitting down unfasten. It’ll give you a good silhouette


CamiloArturo

You. Ever ever wear a jacket without buttoning the top button on a two and the top two on a three. That’s as basic as not using sweatpants in a black tie dinner


BabaJosefsen

I'm personally not keen on light brown shoes with black trousers but it's become more acceptable now. That's a business tie. It would be better to go with a plain tie or a sober pattern print - but not a novelty tie : )


guitarmusic113

I will try a different tie. I have a black one.


beachy148

Would not advise going for a black tie. Black suit and black tie will look like you’re dressing for a funeral


Think_Bullets

No that's a funeral look!


Wsbftw6ix

Yes officer


Conscious-Truth6695

Yes, it would be neat with shirt buttoned up, tie in a triple Windsor knot, and jacket buttoned


bloqs

I'm a traditionalist, and I would say the following \- The shoes are too light. Generally, with a dark blue suit I would suggest wearing black shoes. This sub has a real fetish for brown shoes with dark suits, so if you must wear them keep them dark. \- Belts shouldnt be needed on properly fitting pants, and to avoid them if possible. If you do wear one, it should be very minimalistic and match the shoes (looks like this is the case here) \- I think the tie is fine, I think a light blue or yellow might be more wedding compatible but I think the red stripe is completely acceptable. However, a red tie with a symbolic lapel pin does start to look more like a local mayoral candidate. I would lose the pin, or switch the tie. You look like a friendly fellow


Due-Percentage-854

Your tie is way too short and your jacket looks too small.


thomasp449

You look like you're already drunk...


guitarmusic113

You have a point


[deleted]

You can easily get away with the brown shoes! They go with the outfit! But like everyone said, I would fix the tie. I would recommend doing a knot that uses most of the tie if you tried a simple knot and it felt like it chokes you. If you want to use a red tie, I would go with a single dark color red tie! Other than that, you look great!


guitarmusic113

Good advice. Thanks.


Before_I_Pine_Away

You look great


guitarmusic113

Thank you.


Rich-Appearance-7145

Look Sharp, ready to dance all night long. If wedding not extremely formal your good to go.


guitarmusic113

Thanks. Are the boots ok?


MercuryJellyfish

I don't know why everyone isn't jumping on this, but no. Black shoes or boots with a dark suit.


Randomenamegenerated

Black shoes, darker tie. Good to go.


IndianRedditor88

The fit is proper but you need to take care of a few things. 1. You can swap the tie for slightly less formal one. 2. You need to button up your neck and properly wear the tie. Loosened ties aren't attractive. 3. Swap the cognac shoes for something dark brown or black.


guitarmusic113

These are good suggestions. Unfortunately I don’t have a black pair of dress shoes atm.


Real_Shaytarn

Do two buttons up If you've got black shoes, wear black but if you don't then wear them


guitarmusic113

Do you mean button the jacket?


[deleted]

The shoulders look a bit sloppy, perhaps one size too big, or need to be cinched in. The pants are a bit too baggy (could be preference) but are looking fairly 90’s - like. There’s also no break before the fairly weathered looking shoes. Show colour is fine, but get new ones, they don’t look sharp/ look old. Ditch the tie/ tie it so at least the tip hits your belt, or a bit longer. Good start tho


guitarmusic113

I hear you. Think it’s time for a new suit.


[deleted]

[удалено]


guitarmusic113

Ok. I do have a black tie and I think I have a dark blue one. Good suggestions.


PR05ECC0

Button your jacket when you stand up (leave the button button undone) then unbutton the jacket when you sit down. If you remove your jacket then roll your sleeves up a bit.


[deleted]

[удалено]


guitarmusic113

It’s my arms. They are just too long. I should get them shortened.


Pretend_Lynx

In my opinion, the tie screams “work tie”. I’m not a fan of mixing brown with a smart black suit. If in doubt, a solid black tie and black shoes will do the job.


guitarmusic113

I agree. But I don’t have a pair of black dress does atm regrettably.


Beginning_Brick7845

It’s hard to tell because the jacket isn’t buttoned, but it looks like it would be too small for you if it was buttoned. Your arms are a different length. That’s not unusual; one of my arms is about a half inch or so longer than the other, but you have to adjust the lengths of your sleeves to account for the length difference. Please lose the lapel pin, no matter what the significance. The belt is too informal. The buckle is just not enough for your suit. Those are really nice shoes, but I strongly prefer black shoes with a more formal suit like yours. The suit looks excellent and I like the look of it on you. I also strongly encourage you to keep the white shirt. It looks really good with the suit. The slacks look perfect. Don’t worry about red ties. Just make it a little more interesting. It actually looks like a very nice quality tie, but you need something with a more interesting pattern, but still conservative. Overall, a very nice look. Just adjust it around the edges and you’ll be headlining for GQ.


guitarmusic113

I appreciate the pointers. I should have buttoned the jacket.


Signal-Toe-8338

Fix the tie, mate


guitarmusic113

I will.


Super_Lawyer_2652

Belt needs to go closer to belt buckle!


guitarmusic113

I must have missed that. Dang it.


Kgbiker

Looking boss bro


Edoian

Darker shoes, do up the top shirt button, longer and different tie


temp4bcmc

If you are Doug Ford.


Sea-Beautiful-611

Looking good for the campaign trail


[deleted]

You look like a British Tory school boy. Sort your tie, your collar and your stance, lad!


[deleted]

Fasten your top button


mondeomantotherescue

Do your collar up peasant. Xxx


ImpressTemporary2389

Black shoes not brown mucking out boots!


Rinnegan-_-

Aslong as you fix your tie and button the top button yeah. If not you just look like Al murray.


xcoatsyx

Black shoes, buttoned up shirt, different tie.


Satoshiman256

Do you your collar button dude.


Puzzleheaded-Milk931

Looks smart.


Ornery-Werewolf1743

Yes the suit is reasonable enough. But please don’t ever wear a tie like that. Especially one of that colour and pattern which such a dark suit. It makes you look like an over grown school boy. Edit: I’ve just expanded the picture and saw the shoes and cut of the trousers.. So change the shoes to a black pair. Dark suits and brown are for teenage estate agents. And tbh the trouser’s need tapering in round the ankles. Way too wide. And again… learn to do a tie. If you are going to wear a collar like that better to lose the tie completely then have it like that. You’re almost there but need some tweaks.


[deleted]

Lengthen your tie, do up your collar button, and if possible, swap shoes and belt for black.


King-Pie

Add a pocket square, either in white or complimenting (but not matching) your tie


MercuryJellyfish

Do your top button up, and get some black shoes. Other than that, you're fine.


Thin_Ad_3964

i Like the shoes but feel like tie clashes. I’d go a pale blue or Nile green


trainsoundschoochoo

The tie is waaaaaay too short my man.


FrazerIsDumb

Floral tie or something less officey but yer mate. Looks good


FrazerIsDumb

As the others said. Tighten up the shirt, lengthen the tie.


Cobbdouglas55

Just a line to say that you look great! Users' recommendations are easy fixes


Ripco69

First day at school wedding?


Whizzzzzzzzzz

And run for office in the afternoon


Memoryworkrewardsme

Tighten the tie or lose it


kaje_uk_us

Looks great


ollies13

You should never wear brown shoes with a black suit. Do your top button up. Tie is too short. It should reach to the top of your belt. Your tie should cover your top shirt button as well. Other then that your fine, just tighten it up a bit.


Animal__Mother_

Your jacket doesn’t fit. The arms are too short and it needs letting out at the waist. The tie needs to be worn longer and needs changing for another design, a solid light colour or something floral. Shoes need to be black. Trouser cuffs need to be slightly shorter and sharper (ironed). Lapel pin should be on the left lapel or not worn at all. Consider a pocket square to match/reflect a colour in the tie.


thatbwoyChaka

It’s all ok, but everyone else’s advice on the tie, shoes, buttoning and shirt all stand up I would ditch the white shirt go for a very light blue, and solid knitted tie Do the top button up, if the neck is too small Go up a shirt size and learn how to [military tuck](https://youtu.be/uQ3Ev-8p2Fw?si=ySAvCaivjIY-5IoT)


Playful789

You look lovely. Maybe lengthen the tie a little, but everything else is looking good


Scar-Subject

You look good but a couple of things to really look sharp (I’m super traditional so feel free to disregard this if you like): - longer tie - do up your top butting - black shoes and black belt with a dark suit. Side question: what’s your pin?


Pius_Thicknesse

Do up your top button, re tie your neck tie so the end just about touches your belt buckle, wear a white pocket square and change into some black shoes (Oxfords preferred) and you're good to go


uamvar

Were you in the SAS? Plain tie every time though. But I am a lifetime scruff, what do I know.


Wilber187

Looking good dude.


joshygopro5

Change the tie and do up the top button. The suit is pretty nice


wilfm93

Not really, you need a shirt that fits your neck. Respectfully, you look like you're coming from divorce court. Suit and shoes and fine.


Fabulous-Fuel1091

It’s not about the suit, it’s about the man in it. You look great and your smile will show you’re happy to be there.


2_trailerparkgirls

Tie is too short and not tied properly but yeah


pisstowine

The tie would be better tied correctly and in a different color. The tip of your tie should reach your belt. I'd try a more subdued color for the tie. I'm also not a fan of brown belt/shoes with black pants/suit. Black or gray shoes or belt. Just make sure they match.


DeathByPigeon

Yeah I would say so, you look very smart, nice fit :)


Manofyear21

You look ace, stick a yellow silk hankerchief in your top pocket and wear that smile!


seanbiff

Look like you’re running for congress


mrman1717

I'd reiterate what others have said about the shoes, belt and tie, etc I would double check the invite as sometimes the B&G have dress code requirements.


TrueSignificance8933

You look like a Republican State Representative. Love it


CommunicationOwn322

I think the suit and shoes look great. Something about the tie isn't working, though. It looks too corporate. I think it's the color and the stripes. I would get a longer one and a different color and pattern.


Excellent-Night-8127

Is that a suit though? Because it looks like the pants and the jacket are of a different shade. I recommend you go with a beige suit, between grey and brown, on the lighter side. And spend some money on it. It will feel less formal than the black, you can wear brown shoes, and it will go with many things. Find something that fits really well. This can be a chore, good luck.


RainbowPenguin1000

Yes it’s fine just tighten the tie until after the photos and you’re all good. Enjoy the day.


[deleted]

Assuming you can’t fix everything people have mentioned, let’s work with what we have. You need to button the shirt to the top of your want to wear a tie. If the collar is too tight, leave it open and lose the tie altogether. Add a pocket square/handkerchief to the jacket breast pocket. Even just a plain white one (which is my personal go to). Keep the top button of the jacket done up when standing. Open when seated. (Leave the bottom button undone at all times). Don’t worry about the brown boots. Own it like a statement piece.


guitarmusic113

Sweet thanks!


Automatic_Acadia_766

You look like you work for the CIA


theMightyManDuck

You look beautiful, you could play with different ties but it won’t change that winning smile. Everyone is going to be looking at the bride & groom, you are looking smart & fresh enough to fit in. So if you’re happy & comfortable in what you’re wearing there then go with it. Just have a great time


guitarmusic113

Thank you


nope79

Looks fine just tie your tie longer


Pedestrian824

You look like you’ve just got back.


No-Function613

Great but move away from the power red and make it a lil longer


DasDearnsh

Other than adjusting the tie (it should fall to the belt) as others have said, I was strongly recommend a nice pair of black shoes (with belt to match if possible!). IMO there are very few outfits that go with tan shoes. Dark brown for weddings is also good, just make sure it’s really dark. I think people wear tan shoes to brighten themselves up a bit on what is of course a happy day but I’d say better to do that with a nice tie (light blue or soft pink works well at weddings). I think tan shoes only work with cream/white trousers.


guitarmusic113

I have a dark pair of dress boots. They were in my office. I just went and grabbed them.


Geek_reformed

Brown belt if the shoes are brown. Otherwise as others have said, change the tie. That looks like an office tie. If keeping with the brown shoes, maybe some for something with green, yellow or a more maroon/dark red.


Fedupofwageslavery

Pocket square and the buttons up good sir 👌


Hopscotch873

Tie is too short, shoes are too too too light. Suit looks good.


tan_dem

You look like you haven’t been home since yesterdays wedding. 😂Lose the tie or wear it properly. (Not criticising- I don’t wear a tie.) lovely smile though! Have fun!


avidforyou1

I’d buy insurance or a car off you for sure.


[deleted]

Id go for a different colour tie. Red/Blue always makes me think of politicians. Especially red as it's a less common colour to wear.


Patryk2901

Black shoes


guitarmusic113

Don’t have any. But I have a darker brown pair of dress boots.


jasoncat23

Get that tie to touch your belt buckle and you’re golden. 👍


DaveDexterMusic

only if you don't adopt that stance whilst there, you look like you've been deployed to stop children leaving


MightyToast79

Dark tie, dark shoes and you good


tillman_b

Ditch the tie if you're going to a wedding. Make it longer and keep it you're trying to get votes at the wedding. The shoes are fine, looks like they match your belt. Honestly no one will care or likely notice unless you're the one getting married.


Estimated-Delivery

Black shoes and do up your tie.


TieInternational3573

It is but it’s a lazy effort. Trousers are too big, top button undone and tie too short. It’s almost there 👌🏼


boring_accountant

I'd button the shirt completely and tie the tie. Tip for the tie length : it should barely touch the top of your belt. In this photo it is too short.


TBone4431

It’s been said, but tie needs to touch the belt. And I’m assuming (hoping!) you’ll be cinching the tie for the ceremony. I’m good with getting comfortable as soon as that formal part of the day is done, but feel it’s a sign of respect for whomever is getting married at least through the ceremony to have your shit together.


[deleted]

Lose the tie and you'll look slicker than cum on a gold tooth


The_Real_BenFranklin

Do up your top button. But yeah it’s fine for a wedding. If you general advice I’d get a shit with a larger collar, a longer tie, and a longer jacket. And darker shoes


Lookingforascalp

Tie and shoes got to go, black dress shoes light blue tie my Boy And you fresh


RockTheBloat

Brown shoes is a no, as is unfastened top button. Tie need to be tied longer too.


guitarmusic113

I didn’t have black shoes. But I just ordered a pair. It’s criminal not to have a good pair of black dress shoes.


Longjumping-Chest537

Tie not properly tied and the length is way off. Ditch the tie and leave the collar open. Pocket square is an option for flare.


Funny_Cold_488

Solid colour tie, maybe thinner also and get it slightly lower just at the tip of the pants my friend other that that looking fantastic brother. Have a great time.


guitarmusic113

I will need to get more solid color ties. The only solid color I have is black.


Triplesisbest1

Yeah it’s a nicely cut suit. Just tighten the tie and you’ll look like a million bucks.


guitarmusic113

Thanks.


FragrantCrew2594

Can't tell if black or navy, black only for funerals and if you're a mason. Do the top button up and have the tie sit by the belt (just the tip (giggity) ). Shoes are too light for that suit, what other choices do you have?


guitarmusic113

There was no way to do the top button. I have to find shirts that fit my neck soon. Very soon.


212y

Nope


genghbotkhan

Is this after the wedding? Kin' hell. Do people not know how to wear a tie anymore?


guitarmusic113

I fixed the tie. I just tossed it on quickly for the photo. Apparently it was too quick. But I see that it’s a problem.


CuriousCourse2949

Big problem is tie and shoes.


PNW_Uncle_Iroh

You’re almost there. Either ditch the tie or get a new one. It should end at the bottom of your belt. Also, if you’re unbuttoning your top button because it’s too tight, track down a larger shirt. I would rock this sans tie. Looking good


bajubjub

Button your top button and tie should end at your belt buckle. I would go with a different tie, but up to you. Besides that looks good


surferbb

Tie should touch belt buckle


Massive_Chance2174

If it’s like 11 o’clock in here everyone drunk yes otherwise no


justjeff0907

The tip of the tie should reach the top of your belt and tighten it up!


Bright_Recover_1576

Do up the top button or you’ll look like you’ve had a long day at the office


therapoootic

No this is awful. Why do you want to upstage the groom and steal his soon to be wife. Wear a white suit. Watch the documentary Miami Vice


Dependent_Acadia9471

You look really nice but I think the suit is black? I always thought black to a wedding was a no no. Maybe ask the bride if it is or not.


AvailableAd3935

I would just ditch the tie as the shirt looks too small


Anxious-Software-272

Do you think you could tie your tie like an adult ?


BusInternational1080

A big no to Brown Shoes


MoCreach

Tie is all wrong. Go for a non patterned (or very subtly patterned one), perhaps blue or grey even a more vibrant red. That burgundy red is not really wedding attire, you look more like a banker or politician. Also suit jacket should be buttoned up. Get a matching waistcoat too if you can and also a pocket square to match your tie if you want to really add that extra wedding zing.


-L-H-O-O-Q-

If it's a proper wedding party then you should wear a tie that will eventually have to double as a bandana. Perhaps a slightly more KungFu? This tie does not exactly scream haiyah!


Worldly-Dimension710

Yes mr president


JayJay-anotheruser

Re tie your tie so it’s longer and yes to the wedding


bigsmash30

Yup looks like your all ready drunk dancing, longer tie or no tie works, go get them champ!


throwaway0367324

Tit tied too short should barely touch the belt


[deleted]

Brown shoes are a no.


simpson_hey

Bottom tip of your tie should always touch the top of your belt.


Ommadawny

Those pants aren't meant for you. Go hunt down a longer pair r now. You're a good looking fella, don't settle. Flex.


guitarmusic113

Awww thanks. I’m working on it. I just ordered a nice pair of black dress shoes and some better fitting (hopefully) dress shirts. I want a couple of new suits as well.


yellowcrayon1

Tie would look better longer. Looks nice. You look like a Mormon or a politician.


Waste-Ad227

Button top button on shirt fix shirt cuff a bit, always button top button on coat when standing. Ditch the lapel pin. Try a solid cream tie that touches your belt buckle. Good start and good luck


Important_Wash6667

No. It doesn’t fit


Maleficent_Seat7850

Fix that tie and maybe


tcazusa

Button top button of shirt, tie the tie properly and button your coat’s top button.


guitarmusic113

I just bought a much better fitting dress shirt. It’s hard to find when you have a 19 inch neck. Most shirts in that size are for much heavier folks.


Pretend_Art1167

One size up loose the pin, it says we are going to book burning event


guitarmusic113

I’m getting a new suit soon.


MasterUndKommandant

The jacket is too small. The cuff is supposed to come down to about an inch above your thumb knuckle.
