Semi-Formal Wedding Advice

[givemetwenty]

Hi guys,


Is any of the following appropriate for a "semi-formal" wedding?


1) Different color jacket/slacks. Like black/gray or navy/gray.


2) Velvet. I have a black velvet jacket that looks great, buuut...it's a wedding.


I understand "semi-formal" usually means a full-on suit, but I kind of want a little panache, and I definitely, definitely don't want to be "that guy."


Thanks!

If you don't want to be "that guy", and really who does... then wear a suit. Slacks and blazer will make you look underdressed or like some of the younger attendees. If you want panache, and I don't blame you for it, do it with your tie, pocket square, socks, and/or watch.
