A nice suit coat or sport coat and new jeans, that's all you need.

If a suit is only something you will wear rarely, like once a year for weddings, it probably isn't worthwhile to buy. Shapes and styles change, your size may change, and before you're worn it 4 or times, it will fit like shit and look old.
Just go to a tuxedo place, and rent one. You'll have a new fresh one for every event, it will fit right, and you can get something that looks good without a lot of compromises.

- So the difference here is the stripes and tie?? Or is it the good pose vs. the bad pose?formed
- DO: Tell people it takes 4 people to style you cause you are an imbecile. DON'T: Stand like an awkward moron.Amicus

- a bad belt, shirt, and tie kills the casual looking suit...omg
- fuckn amateur. Don't: suit isn't pressed. Wrong belt. Tie falls below the belt. Shirt cuff should slightly show. Dick should be out.kona

ok. http://www.artofmanliness.com/20… how a suit should fit. but i have to say there's something about an oversized suit on a nerd that just does it for me.

I've a couple of Paul Smith PS suits and they're ideal for casual and/or smarter gigs - even better if you can get one in the sale.
But then, you need to like that particular style and I imagine not so good if you are a committed salad-dodger...

So many comments on things being too small or not fitting. Sorry mates, that IS the coming style. 50's inspired... tight suites, trim plain cuts, narrow lapels and even thinner ties. Oh... and higher waists.
I know, I'm scared too.
- the crotch of the slacks up there looks too baggy tho. 50s is coming back it's true.ohhhhhsnap

I can recommend Suitsupply. Don't let the name fool you. They're great suits. I have a couple and they will make alterations to make sure it's a great fit. Really reasonable prices for great fabrics.

I would suggest buying a cotton suit (little bit of wrinkle makes more casual) or tweed / felt.

A casual suit may end in some Miami Vice peach-nightmare ... how about your normal suit but go tie-less with a good shirt. And your knob hanging out, casually.

It's been "coming back" for years. I don't know why, it only looks good on people that weight 120 and are 6 feet (aka 'models'), everyone else it makes look thick.
80's baggy sucked just as bad, but at least comfortable.
Hopefully things will settle back in the middle sometime soon (the "thin" cut is years into its lifespan).
God forbid any thin ties. That really is annoying...almost as much as rolled up jeans.

Go to a store like J Crew or Banana Republic, shell out the dough and get yourself one suit that you can wear to weddings, funerals, corporate shindigs, etc. Don't get a "casual" anything. That limits a rather expensive purchase.
Just make sure it fits you well.- this is like taking design advice from freddddddalbums
- I like Banana, but would you get a suit there? I should consider that idea.omg
- BR is pricey. The coats alone are $500. I tried, wasn't happy. Plus they're all wool, mostly anyway. too hot for a wedding.nthkl
- Buy a suit at H&M. Then have the suit tailored to fit you.Josev
