I think maybe we'll shoot for him to wear the gray suit both nights, just with different color shirts and ties. I know that the wedding is also very formal. I think that a tan suit is okay for certain weddings and summer-time. And we're in FL, so that helps! I'll have him bring the tan as a backup. :wink: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mens-cocktail-attire#post-2149684 Mon, 20 Apr 2015 09:39:57 +0000 nana87 2149684@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>tan is fine! but he can also wear the suit twice, with a less formal shirt for the rehearsal dinner </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mens-cocktail-attire#post-2149536 Mon, 20 Apr 2015 07:40:27 +0000 looch 2149536@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For cocktails, unless it's the summer, I think tan might be too light. I'd have my husband wear the same gray suit, and maybe change up the shirt/tie. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mens-cocktail-attire#post-2149531 Mon, 20 Apr 2015 07:36:06 +0000 hotchildinthecity 2149531@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Tan is totally fine! My husband works at a job that requires him to wear a suit every day and he owns two tan suits. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mens-cocktail-attire#post-2149528 Mon, 20 Apr 2015 07:33:04 +0000 Adira 2149528@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think the tan suit is fine. But I also think it would be fine for him to wear the dark grey suit to both the rehearsal dinner AND the wedding! (That's what my husband would do since he literally only owns one suit) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mens-cocktail-attire#post-2149522 Mon, 20 Apr 2015 07:21:18 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 2149522@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, wear the tan suit since that's the only other color he already owns. Since tan is light, I'd try to wear a lighter color or bright dress w/ neutral accessories to compliment. </p> <p>If you have time to get another suit tailored go with navy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mens-cocktail-attire#post-2149491 Mon, 20 Apr 2015 06:30:34 +0000 sunshineandsushi 2149491@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Does a tan suit work for men's cocktail attire? We have a wedding to attend this weekend and the rehearsal dinner invite specifically noted cocktail attire. DH has a dark gray suit that he'll wear for the wedding, but the only other suit he has right now is a sandy/tan color. </p> <p>Do I need to go get him another suit? </p>
