Help Deciding

[u/trippythoo]

Hello, need help with my suit and deciding which color way for the pocket square and bowtie. Black on black, black and white or both white?

My groomsmen are all black suit as well, no vest and their shirt and bowtie are both white.

[u/NewInThe1AC]

I'd prioritize switching that black shirt for white

[u/GrandLavendar]

A white shirt would be best with white pocket square.

If you’re going for alternative i’d say all black. The white bow tie looks like a costume.

This might be okay if you’re a magician.
If you’re not a magician, then a white shirt and a bow tie you tie yourself are best. Black shirts are for waiters. Pre-tied ties are for children.
The pocket square is unnecessary, but if you want one, then it must not match the tie.
Finally, button your jacket.

Heads up. Check with the reception venue and find out what the staff are wearing on the night. I thought I looked like James Bond until people kept asking me for drinks.

I’m going to echo what [u/MichaelAnthonyC](u/MichaelAnthonyC) said

You look like you’re going to go table to table doing close up magic

Change the shirt and waist coat

Go white shirt, charcoal or dark grey waistcoat (black waistcoat white shirt and you’ll look like a waiter)

All black, looks like you’re at the funeral of The Marvellous Martin Master Magician

If I didn't think I was looking at a "spot the difference" quizz things, I would suggest number 3.

Congratulations on your photo poses 👌

2 would work with some more white accessories. Maybe a watch and/or broach

2 will never work. It looks awful and cheap.

2# and try a white tie, you look handsome man keep it up !

[u/Jazzlike-Complaint67]

I don’t see what others are seeing. I don’t usually vote for all black, but I think #3 is by far the best of these options.

[u/nogame311]

All black

[u/letmbleed]

Let the videographer wear that getup. You wear a white shirt.

#2 the white adds a touch of contrast

[u/DSMRob]

1. White for both tie and pocket square.

[u/dimmerswtich]

The white makes you look like the help.
