My son and his fiancee have selected a standard black tux with a green vest and green Windsor tie for an 11 a.m. outdoor wedding. I am the best man and there will be only 1 bridesmaid, although the wedding guest list is about 300 people. My understanding is that a morning suit would have been the proper selection. In view of his attire, however, what should I wear? Should I match his level of dress, or is a dark business suit equally appropriate?

Dear Garya,

You are correct that the morning suit or stroller is the proper attire for a daytime formal wedding. Please inform your son. But, if he is determined to wear the tux, which is formal evening attire, it is best to wear one as well.

Best wishes,
