I went to an outdoor wedding yesterday and saw some people rockin' the short sleeve dress shirt look. There were even at least 3 guys with the short sleeve dress shirt and a tie. Even though it was about 90 degrees when we got there, I insisted on wearing my suit jacket and tie. I regretted that decision and immediately after the ceremony, I went up to the car and hung the jacket up. By the time the cocktail hour was over and everyone was in the tent for the meal, there was no one wearing a jacket and only about 10 guys with ties still on. My tie was off right after I finished eating. It was just brutal. There were even a couple of young kids running around shirtless in the grassy area next to the tent where the reception was.

All that being said, I'd rather be hot and uncomfortable than be comfortable and wearing a short sleeve shirt with a tie.

Conservatism is not about leaving people behind. Conservatism is about empowering people to catch up, to give them tools at their disposal that make it possible for them to access all the hope, all the promise, all the opportunity that America offers. - Marco Rubio

It's a wedding, sweat it out and then remove the coat and tie when it's appropriate.

That being said, I have a sweet linen/silk Zegna suit that I would have probably been wearing and looking/staying cool

Agreed 100%.

I just make sure to wear a good shirt underneath so the sweat doesn't soak through.

Spence would be proud of my shirt collection. Nothin but class and style.

I should have listened to my wife yesterday, though. I assumed it was an outdoor ceremony and indoor reception. My wife swears she told me the reception was under a tent outside. But evidently I wasn't listening then, either.

This is related to the subject, so I'll post it here...

At my workplace, the wearing of shorts is prohibited. However, the women are allowed to wear Capri pants.

Based on the vast experience of our wonderful S-B Fashion Police, ....
How is the wearing of Capri pants looked upon when a man attempts to strut them down the runway?

I mean, what's so wrong about the Angus Young look?

...it finally happened, there are no more secret spots
