I an lost with what to wear to my wedding. It is a summertime lakehouse venue and I am thinking 100 different things.

Half of me wants to stand out that bit extra and get a dinner jacket/tux. Or else a three piece mismatched set, like matching waistcoat and pants with a different colour jacket.

The other half wants simplicity with a two piece and suspenders.

I like three pieces because they keep you looking together throughout a long day and night.

I am mostly against check patterns and am leaning toward greens like sage or emerald with cream but open to options. Happy with earth tones or natural colours.

    Quick question first, how would you describe your body type? And how do you like your suits cut? I think those affect what you want to be wearing when the jacket comes off, with great options for all types and preferences.

      I am 187cm, 100kg with a 34 leg. Bigger than I would like to be but not too bad. I have a strong build but am planning to lose bulk before the wedding.

    Do you have groomsmen? My instinct is that your attire should be adjacent but not the same as theirs. Just one notch higher in formality/complexity, with a different color accent.

    It doesn’t need to be the most comfortable, but it shouldn’t be uncomfortable. You should be able to dance in it.

      Yeah but I am seeing it very common where I am for weddings. A three piece suit but mismatch waistcoat or jacket. I prefer jacket because you look together with the jacket off then.

      And where do I land in terms of colour/style?

      I am worried about linen because it wrinkly.
