Over the last few weeks, my fiancée and I have attended a couple of weddings. Now for us, this is a great opportunity to grab ideas as we’re getting married next year.
It seems that no matter the budget or timescale of planning that you can put together a pretty good shindig with some cracking ideas.
But this isn’t about that. This is good, wholesome character assassination.
Firstly, I’m going to have an old man grumble about fashion, and it’s generally aimed at people aged 16 to 30ish.
We all like to look and feel our best from time to time, but can we as a society please dress for an occasion?
Maybe it’s just me, but I hope that at our wedding, the young ladies can differentiate between a wedding and say, a night out clubbing.
I know that generally, a whole generation is influenced by crap like Love Island and TOWIE, but is it really necessary to dress like you want to fall out of your bra?! For what is hopefully, the happiest day of someone’s life? Don’t get me wrong, it’s a woman’s choice to dress as she pleases but please, think of the photos.
I haven’t even got onto my biggest gripe yet, and these of course are just my opinions,
Gentlemen,
1. A gentleman should never wear a hat that doesn’t have a purpose.
especially at a wedding. You don’t look like a Peaky Blinder, you look like a tool.
2. Uncovered braces look stupid. Put a jacket or waistcoat on. And while we’re on the matter, if you’re wearing braces, you really don’t need a belt.
3. Socks were invented for a reason. Mainly hygiene, but we don’t really want to see your ankles.
on that note,
4. When you wear short trousers, you look like a 90’s girl in pedal pushers.
I suppose these fashion points are in in the realm of the hipster. I know that I’m old fashioned, and I know that clothes don’t necessarily reflect personality, but what happened to gents just wearing a well cut suit and just looking sharp?
Also, something that I noticed a lot is that young men have a real tendency to strut around like they are the most dangerous man in the room. You are not.
Booze, of course doesn’t help the matter either. But honestly guys, you’re at a wedding, usually surrounded by family and friends. So why the front?
I mean I get it, but just chill TF out! People aren’t hiding round the corner waiting to jump you with samurai swords! And, once again a gentle reminder that the Peaky Blinders is a TV show, and you are not a Shelby!
