\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Exhibit A: Shirt and Jacket<\/h2>\n

Always start with the most comfortable white cotton v-neck tee you can find. Stick to a classic khaki two-button jacket; the right cut will last you a lifetime of summers. Although khaki is less formal than black or blue, warm weather calls for light colors. A cotton jacket will pick up wrinkles, that’s part of the charm of the fabric. It’s perfectly normal to develop creases at the elbow and back from sitting down. So long as you don’t sleep in it you’ll look in top shape.<\/p>\n

Every man should own a perfectly-fit white dress shirt. Ignore the washing instructions on the label; always have it dry cleaned.<\/p>\n

For Church<\/h4>\n

Tuck in your shirt and accessorize with a great tie. Remember to have the top button fastened whenever you are standing. At the reception, wait for the groom or the bride’s father to remove his jacket before you take yours off.<\/p>\n

For the Beach<\/h4>\n

Wear your shirt casual: Untucked and with the collar unbuttoned. You can roll the shirt sleeves with the jacket sleeves twice. The cuffs shouldn’t quite hit your elbow. You will want to get your jacket pressed before you wear it to a formal event.<\/p>\n

The Gear<\/h4>\n

Khaki 2-Button Cotton Sport Coat: Brooks Brothers<\/a> $298
\nWhite Cotton Dress Shirt: Hugo Boss<\/a> $95<\/p>\n

Exhibit B: Trousers<\/h2>\n

For Church<\/h4>\n

Go dressy and bring some texture into the mix with a great set of brown trousers. Avoid pleated fronts slacks, they look like grandpa pants.
\nBrown Sharkskin Slacks: Alfani RED<\/a> $125<\/p>\n

For the Beach<\/h4>\n

You’ll move around a lot more at a beach wedding, but jeans are still too informal. Skate pants are perfect since they’ll read as chinos but a little stretch will let you dance on the sand with ease.
