R + D go suit shopping



If you're shopping for a wedding suit,* you HAVE TO read Rachel's suit saga, which includes a pretty harsh review of Indochino, a decent review of Bonobos, and (spoiler alert) a rave for Opening Ceremony, which she describes as "terrifyingly hipster."

I don't know which suit D tried on at Opening Ceremony, so I had to give you this Phillipe Alvergne with the uber-hipster styling.

Groom Style: F* saggy pants




Ill-fitting pants are the plague of the straight white guy, and I have a particular bone to pick with khakis. What is it with dudes and their enormous khakis?*

This article offers some hope. Finally, "carefully tailored, not-too-tight," flattering trousers are becoming more readily available.

(Corduroy pants, $130 at bonobos.com; Cotton flat-front pants, $198 at Marc by Marc Jacobs; Michael Bastian wool-cotton pants, $520 at Jeffrey; Corded cotton pants, $59.50 at J. Crew)

*If the guys are wearing khakis at your wedding, please make them tailored khakis. Otherwise I kind of get a flashback to my college boyfriend dressing up to go out to dinner with his parents. No offense.
