Helped a lot, thank you. I see that what my British husband wore for our wedding was indeed out of order after all!<br /><br />We had a rose theme - me wearing a rose-patterned dress with a white rose bouquet and rose headpiece, him wearing a subtly rose-patterned silvery waistcoat as part of his black morning dress.. And then he said he needed a cravat, an alien concept to an Asian girl like I am. I guess what he meant was an ascot. But we ended up choosing this dark blue, rose-patterned day cravat, and tied it like a scrunchie tie! Surprisingly, everything worked well together in the photos. Haha.<br /><br />I also have a blog in my native language, and I think I now could introduce my friends to Western formalwear with more confidence. :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16304556205596392676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-588768300820642957.post-87514415662652688432014-11-25T21:03:35.632-05:002014-11-25T21:03:35.632-05:00Top rebuttal there, my friend.

If the silk is especially slippery and prone to come slack as you move around, it can be made more secure by completing the four-in-hand knot underneath an Onassis finish: Li Ro Li Co T Li Co. There are some variations, but as long as the front blade shows properly and is relatively secure, any method of tying is as good as any other!

(That is, not too worn, not too low in the waist, and traditionally cut. Think classic 501s.)

So I'll keep it formal for the daytime and go with a day cravat in the evening. The velvet jacket never gets worn enough, so I'll make sure it has an outing before I head off (and get to work on having some fat babies).<br /><br />Thanks again for your advice, much appreciated.Rikhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15069860124158852813noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-588768300820642957.post-65247837225627442032014-01-14T14:41:31.027-05:002014-01-14T14:41:31.027-05:00Hi, Rik! My opinion on the matter (for what it'...Hi, Rik! My opinion on the matter (for what it's worth -- it is after all YOUR wedding) is to embrace the tradition, at least for the ceremony itself. Marriages are steeped in centuries of mythos; twenty years on down the line, you want your children to look back at the pictures and not be embarrassed by your fashion choices! <br /><br />I'd strongly suggest that when you stand next to your bride-to-be, you should strive to match her level of formality. With most wedding dresses, that would be formal daywear, and certainly nothing less formal than a stroller. (After dark, go for white tie. Never wear a tux for a wedding, unless it is after dark and very informal.) Your role in the ceremony is to make your fiance look her best -- if you get too "fashionable," it will take the attention off of her. <br /><br />After the ceremony, at the reception, when the bride changes out of her dress, then by all means you can (and should!) forego tradition and dress as you wish to match the party atmosphere. I actually think a day cravat sounds smashing. Perhaps pair it with a velvet smoking jacket for your grand departure!<br /><br />Congratulations on the wedding; I wish you many fat children. :)Mr Thompsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07630695883122086178noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-588768300820642957.post-60681228955261293712014-01-14T05:07:17.260-05:002014-01-14T05:07:17.260-05:00Mr Thompson, thank you for your learned comments o...Mr Thompson, thank you for your learned comments on day cravats and ascots, very enlightening to a standard office-tie wearer like myself. I have a dilema... whlist looking at ideas for what to wear when I get married I came across the day cravat and loved it. Unfortunately as you point out it is not formal wear. Can I forego tradition as I am the groom (and my finace approves)? Can I tie an ascot during the day and then switch to a day cravat for the disco?
