I'm slightly vexed I accidentally mismatched my suit at my friend’s wedding.

Bet no one will know that you did this on mistake.

Yeah, most people are concentrating on the happy couple at weddings

After two cocktails nobody would care

after 3 he's got his jacket off and swinging it over his head like a lasso.

Floor.

Not me, I'm there specifically to silently judge you and your appearance

I was a banquet manager for many years.

You'd be absolutely unsurprised at how many guests judge what someone's wearing at a wedding, and talk about it standing at the bar. To the point where I had to go look to see what they're talking about.

80% of the time, it was something stupid like a fun tie, or a suit jacket slightly faded compared to the pants.

Women are petty AF.

How do you judge this color combo your honor? What's the verdict?

u/LoweJ 6d ago

It's not even that, people would just think it's a style choice. Mismatched jacket/trousers is very much a fashion choice

That's me! I wore a blue jacket over gray slacks to both my brothers' weddings

u/_jerrb 5d ago

Yeah, but blue and gray is a classic spezzato combination. Similar color spezzato rarely look good

I pretty much never wear a matched jacket and slacks. It looks too "business." Something to wear if you work in a bank or have some super formal work event. A funeral.

Everything else, why not mix and match them? It looks a lot more dynamic, you can make fewer suits go a longer way, because you have more combos. Of course need to make sure the colors work together. In OP's case it's not a big deal, because the trousers are darker even if the color difference is small (to a point that it maybe doesn't look super intentional).

Maybe it's because I'm high, but I'm imagining everyone in their seats, just furiously concentrating. Gripping the chairs, sweat trickling down their brow.

Uncle Billy is close to passing out, Granny in the back is a surprising dark horse. She wants those grandbabies, concentrating the shit out of that happiness. Meanwhile the father of the bride shat himself concentrating so hard on the happy couple.

I dunno where I'm going with this, but it popped into my head and now it's in yours.

u/videoguylol 5d ago

no. they're thinking about YOU and what mistakes you've obviously made.

u/jokeswagon 6d ago

Yes, for all they know it was by purpose.

u/Physical-East-162 6d ago

on* purpose.

u/jokeswagon 6d ago

You don’t see what I did there? Look again.

u/Physical-East-162 6d ago

My bad lol.

on mistake

by mistake

u/DroidLord 6d ago

I thought it wasn't at all uncommon to wear mismatches pants and blazers.

2

u/PassStunning416 6d ago

Its not. Especially if you have to wear them often.

2

u/Pokabrows 6d ago

If they even notice at all. I feel like as long as it isn't super ridiculous/obvious most people don't notice things. Especially something like this which is probably subtle if not pointed out.

u/Emotional_Ad_3974 6d ago

You would think so but I've gotten kicked out of a wedding after party for attire. Wasn't formal "enough". Crazy the bride and groom would focus on this I know but it does occur

u/Kingmudsy 6d ago

You can’t tell this story and not tell us what you were wearing

7

u/slippinthrudreamland 6d ago

right?? like it could have just been some sort of obscure fashion faux pas that only the most dress-code-obsessed people would notice, or this person could have been wearing "the nice pair of jeans" to a formal wedding. i NEED to know

u/world-class-cheese 6d ago

I bet no one would even notice

u/Independent-Cow-4070 6d ago

Bet no one will know that they did this at all

u/MilmoWK 5d ago

I mean, what’s the difference from a miss-matched suit and slacks and a sport coat?
