Always enjoyed wearing formal military mess dress. Just really pops compared to the other civilians in the tuxes... or waiters in cream jackets.

A solid black suit is completely appropriate for a black tie optional wedding. It is not a faux pas in any way.
If you look at it as investing in "fun", which it is, I don't see the issue. Ron Mehico pays $300+++ every other weekend all expenses included to sport formal wear and smoke cigars, b/c that's something he enjoys -- what's the difference?
Not a bad idea. I've already been looking. Might swing over to MW and see what they have.
I don't remember. I just assumed it was a trap and didn't say anything.
Taking fashion advice from the guy who looked like a waiter at his own wedding.

...and I don't make my boys look like ******** in the process. Which I'm much more worried about than wearing a tux but we'll see. Headed over there now, I'll keep y'all posted. The couple is really really laid back and won't give a f*ck either way.
Go deal with your bat infestation.
Regardless of whether or not a black suit is appropriate for black tie (it's not), the bigger issue is why any of these people think their weddings are important enough to call for black tie.

We've pretty much covered all of the gag reflex jokes now, fellas. Let's move on before drxman chimes in.
Anth played hard, and is now en route to buy a fancy tuxedo.
Score one for SAE.

OPTIONAL just provides a little leeway and does not apply to grown men with some sense IMO. Teenagers, college kids, senior citizens, roughnecks... sure.
Grown man? Throw a tux on. Someone's spending a good bit of coin on a nice night for you and that's all they asked.
Again, JMO. And for as southern as you Lexingtonians aim to be, that's pretty standard op down south. TS.

Must say though, I am a little surprised Anth is "taking one for the team" so as to not upstage his non-tux wearing friends.
Yep. Father of the Bride will surely appreciate that, and Anth can always pull out the blacklapel.com trump card if he needs to.
Unless I'm getting married, or in it, I'm not wearing a tux to a wedding. So if it's required send my invitation to someone else, because I'm not coming.
And I'm never purchasing a tuxedo. F*ck that nonsense.
Beaver Dam redneck checking in. Me and all my ***** friends will be down a Dumas Walker's having a bottle of ski.

You're not a redneck. You're just not a pretentious ****. No offense, SAE! :victory:
chad like school in summer time - no class lmao
Plus, wcc, you'd lose your deposit when Mister Tuxedo couldn't get the beard oil stain out of your rental.
Anth will look sharp and no one will care that he's not wearing a tux. Few, if any, of the other men will be either. Granted, if he throws on a red tie and brown shoes it could be an issue, but Sloot won't let that happen. IMHO, it's ok to wear a tux if you're in the wedding party or if it's white or black tie. Otherwise, I think the guests should dress slightly less formal than the wedding party. You don't want to take a chance on upstaging the groom and his groomsmen. I picture SAE strutting into a black tie optional wedding in a top hat, tails, cane, and spats, with "Puttin on the Ritz" playing in the background, walking by the groomsmen and smirking while letting an exasperated *sigh* escape his lips.
Just between you and me, I'm afraid I'm turning into Willy and it really freaking concerns me.
Have always found Anth's sharpness overrated. JMHO, though.
If you are a man, no one cares what you wear to a wedding. Not even the groom and groomsmen. TS. It's all about the bride and whatever abomination she's forced her bridesmaids to wear.
Never really noticed or understood that brides went out of their way to make their bridesmaids look less attractive until I had a girlfriend who was in 10 weddings in one year. Find it pretty hilarious. Also enjoy how it's understood among the hens. :joy:
What if it was a black tie optional wedding...at Keenland.
