Morning all
FW and I originally decided on navy and burgundy, and I really liked the style below. Bridesmaids ended up getting 2 navy and 2 burgundy dresses.We went to mens' wearhouse and spent two hours trying to find something. I hated it all, and I'm starting to think it was just because their test sizes don't fit right. I'm slim and only about 5'7 and all the stuff they had was huge.
I decided on a dark grey with burgundy bow tie, and the groomsmen would wear dark grey with either a navy or burgundy tie. I still didn't like it; it felt like a monkey suit or valet get-up, but I wanted out of the store. Also, this is going to run each of us $230. Not happy with that, since we were lured in with the promise of rentals under $100, but whatever.
I had an "epiphany" a few weeks ago: Let's just go get khaki-colored dress pants, a white dress shirt, and navy or burgundy suspenders and tie/bow tie from JCP or kohls and everyone can keep their nice clothes.
I spent another two hours getting frustrated and upset that nothing was fitting or looked good. Again, I feel like I'm dressing for a funeral or waiter.I'm starting to think I need to just go into a store on my own, but my sense of color coordination is horrible. Also, I don't think this is really going to save us anything.
Any ideas? I'm really lost on what I can wear, that won't break the bank for me and my guys.
This was the original thought.
