Polished DM boots look good with a single breasted suit for some reason. But not with a tie, maybe a polo shirt or similar.

Anyone who only needs a suit for the odd occasion would be best off buying a 2nd hand one on eBay, wearing it and flogging the same suit on eBay again, after the occasion.
I'm about to list a load of separate tux jackets & pants for the forthcoming prom & end of term ball season. The selling point being it's cheaper than a rental.

Well thank you for that little gem.
You do realise fashion is subjective?
As I said, I can't stand ties. I think they're old-fashioned, restrictive, and largely pointless. They have their place but for me that's only in certain professional circumstances and events such as weddings and funerals.
I personally prefer a fashionable open-neck shirt than a tie. |

Fashion will always be trumped by style - something that can never be bought over a counter |

Again, subjective.
I'm sure you're the pinnacle of style. |

| Quote LovesToSpooge="LovesToSpooge"I'm with Sally, black cherry boots go with most things and are far more interesting than plain old black.
I haven't worn a suit for any occasion in 20 years +. I don't require one for work, so I'll be damned if I'm buying a suit just to wear once every few years to events I don't really wish to be at.
Now I'm reluctantly attending a wedding in early September. My original plan was to attend in my black cherry Redwing 9011's, chino's, a pale green shirt, dark green tie, and top it off my Goodwear J A Dubow A-2 27998 in seal brown horsehide. However I've now been advised by my sister in law that I can't attend in the above, not if I wish too feature in the wedding photo's. Which I don't wish too, but my bother insists I do. So as not to rock the boat in comes a change of plan.
I still decided to not go down the suit route but rather buy a sports jacket that I can where time and time again and get some mileage out of. So out goes the A-2 and incomes a green Harris tweed jacket. With the only other change being dependent on the weather. Fine, and it'll be chino's. Anything but fine, and it'll be British racing green moleskin trousers( I'm going very much down the green route this year, with the key too it being different shades of green). This has thankfully been approved by all concerned.
I am however taking my capeskin A-1 for the reception. I'll wear a leather jacket at some point that day if it kills me.

Good on you for changing your mind ... and the tweed sounds great.
I'm all for freedom of expression in matters of dress but someone else's wedding day is their day and to buck their conventions too much would have been impolite.
So,  |

| Quote Cronus="Cronus"Is it on ebay?'"
Quite a bit was bought from eBay and also from various charity shops and car boot sales. The last suit I bought new, retail was a Crombie wool, cashmere & silk, navy pinstripe 2 piece from Army & Navy 8 years ago. It looks as pristine now as it did then, as do a couple of other bespoke suits and a bespoke overcoat that is older than I am. Shirts include Hilditch & Key, Eton and a couple of Emma Willis. |
