My niece is getting married soon. The groom and groomsmen have been asked to wear black tie, but the other men have been asked not to do so. Hubby has a very nice grey suit, but I suspect it is rather snug at the moment. He also has a couple of checked / tweed jackets. Lovely, but they won’t go with the rest of the attire of the wedding party. He also has a grey waistcoat and trousers, which he tends to wear with either a black or grey shirt. If he got a black blazer would this work, or would it look odd? Photo of waistcoat and trousers below…

For some reason I thought this wedding was in Australia, which is why I thought black tie referred to Dinner jackets. I assume the wedding party are not wearing morning dress; could your husband hire an ordinary suit? Do outfitters do thst?

Mamma66 some M&S suits have separate jackets and trousers so you can mix and match.

We tried a beautiful mix and match suit from Asos for one of the grandchildren in a lovely Italian wool fabric - but it was an end of line and the trousers were not available in the right size when we came to exchange them.

Good luck with getting him sorted.

I also envy his willpower!

Could you hire something? Though photo 2 looks just right to me.

Have a great time.

You could do worse than borrow some style and fashion advice from Grayson Perry. I think he's glorious!🤡
