Navy, you'll always look sharp in a navy blazer.
You'll look even sharper in a white shirt.

you've not many options really. White or a baby blue. A navy shirt could be an option. Personally I never wear darker coloured shirts but it will look good.

Don't do pink or purple anyway.

Will do, was thinking of striped shirts and plain white anyways.

Thanks

A check navy and white one could be nice.
Not too formal especially if you're going for the vans.

Hope this doesn't sound stupid but do you always tuck in the shirt when wearing a blazer??

Well lads,

Bought a navy blue blazer, just wondering the best shirt colour to go for?

Going to wear it with a pair of jeans and either vans or brown boots

My thoughts on this are if you're going to wear a blazer, shirt and jeans, then wearing vans will let your outfit down.

Wear brown boots and match the belt to the shoes

I was recently in Chicago and got myself a pair of these boots

They're 50% off at the moment so you're getting them for $50 - I brought it to the cart just there to see how much shipping to Ireland is and it's showing up as $8 - which is very good value imo

Was thinking something that would go over jumpers etc. so wouldn't be looking for a big North Face type thing. Probably something reasonably light ideally.

H&M do decent jackets for low prices

Quality could be called into question here but I bought a knock around bomber jacket and it's the warmest thing I own, had it two years now and while I wouldn't be wearing it on nights out it works well around winter and for casual wear. On the whole though - for the cost of the jackets in H&M you can't go wrong

Additionally, if you're looking for something lighter than that - picked up something similar to the below jacket in H&M whilst on hols lately, can't see the one I got on their site, maybe it's not in the UK or something

I wouldn't be the standing out in the rain type!

Well Lads,

Ive a wedding friday week and i was thinking of wearing my navy blazer with dark grey trousers. Haven't much else to match for the day

Is that gonna look really bad?

Was gonna wear a white shirt with tie.. not sure the colour tie to go with either..

All help and suggestions are welcome.

Thanks

You have to wear a suit. Simples.

Can't afford one at the moment Slattsy

So it's either that blazer or just shirt tie and trousers

Lads any idea where to get a green wax jacket? Have been looking around in the likes of Debenhams, River Island, Topshop and nothing at all. Don't want to spend £250 on a Barbour one - do I have any alternatives?

Contrary to a lot of advice, what you are trying to do might work; It's called "spezzato", an Italian work that literally indicates something that is broken in half. In this case, however, it's used to describe pairing a jacket/blazer and trousers which are not part of the same suit. Different colors are mandatory - and the contrast has to be picked fairly carefully; Ideally, one of the two element should be of a fair, neutral colour (gray, cream, sand) and the other dark.

An example of "spezzato" would be this:


It is normally considered adequate for a wedding (add a tie).

Not sure about the colours you have in your wardrobe; Best course of action - do a fitting test and check how it looks.
