Cankles-McJeggings Black all the way imo.

I’m generally in agreement, in that very dark with white is proper - as opposed to some absolute BERK who busts a red ‘tux’ (it’s usually an American) or something. However, midnight blue has always been acceptable if you want something a tiny bit different, and apparently the original garms favoured by Edward VII were midnight blue rather than black, so you always have that defence if someone tries to rip you for it.

    I bought a midnight blue t-shirt not long ago that I was convinced was black. My Mrs told me not that long ago it was dark blue. FML

    Be that cunt who turns up at a black tie awards/wedding in a kilt, Sean.

      The traditional UK police tunic was also such a dark blue that it appeared almost black. Hence, the ‘boys in blue’ of course.

      *Not the modern paramilitary-looking cunts, who are now actually wearing black.

      That would actually be seen to be acceptable etiquette, because a person’s national dress is formal and black tie is only semi-formal.

        Millsy I may i look like a buffoon but can you imagine the speed at which i can access my flute and town-halls?

          Not sure I follow, how does a good suit look bad very quickly? Is this down to the ever increasing rotundness of the purveyor?

            Hursty I also share in this view, especially when it comes to Dermo. His ‘classically timeless’ Tag Heur is another good example. I’m picturing a suit that resembles something out of this Color Me Badd video.

                It’s quite simple.

                Designer brand suits tend to be cut in line with current ‘trend’.

                Unlike the Next ones Millsy wears that are cut from the same template year in year out

                    Mad_Cyril Ah right, straight over my head, not into “fashion” here either as you have probably picked up on

                        Mad_Cyril lol. Those trabbs of yours are straight out of the Next catalogue you daft shambles.

                            MC posting hall of famer horrific trabs and then popping in here giving it the Barry Big Potatoes on the whistle and flute front.

                            Fair play!

                              I admired the chutzpah but when the trabs are that bad you are skating on seriously thin ice!
