Is it right to wear a 3 piece suit to wedding?

[borninsheffield 10]

I'm going to a wedding and obviously I have suits but is it ok to wear a 3-piece (waistcoat) to a wedding as a guest when your not party of the 'head' party?

 

A friend just mentioned about it maybe not right for upstaging. Didn't think of it and obviously wouldn't be trying to do that. Its just a plain dark grey suit with waistcoat.

 

Views please...

Of course its ok to wear your 3 piece, you wear what you feel comfortable in.

Cool. I can't see if being flashy that it's going to out do any of the bridal party. It's just a 3 piece suit.

Just someone at work said the waistcoat is wrong if your just a guest.

I thought three piece suits went out of fashion in about 95?!

Who cares about fashion !

I know people who wear 3 piece suits around the house or going out drinking, let alone going to weddings

Speak to the groom if it's such a big deal

just wear the suit - it isn't your fault if others don't dress to your standards

 

i'd give the dicky bow and floral buttonhole a miss though

Wear the suit.

 

Wear the fox hat.

Ignore your work colleague, he/she is wrong.

No way would you look over dressed in a three piece suit at a wedding, it is the perfect occasion to wear one. As for up staging the main wedding guests well that's nonsense as they'll all be dressed up in their finest. In fact they will be pleased that you have made an effort to look smart, it's the under dressers who'll stick out like a sore thumb. As for waistcoats being out of fashion .....

they aren't a fashion item, merely another part of a suit which some men like and others don't. Go for it.
