Okay hive, take out those #2 pencils, it’s scantron time! Keep your eyes on your own monitor and take your time answering these questions. There are no wrong answers!

Question #1:

A girl and boy (but mostly girl) hunt for pink suspenders for the boy, his 4 friends (let’s call them his “men”) and his 2 little “men”. They finally find them from suspendease, and quickly purchase 7: 1 adult size in dark pink, 4 adult sizes in light pink, and 2 child sizes in dark pink. Upon receipt of the suspenders, the boy tries them on and is left confused. (See girl’s co-worker/model, aka Exhibits A and B, below.)

Question #2:

The same girl and boy also hunt for ties for the same (lucky) “men”. They search for a tie that would tie (hehe) in well with the men’s BLACK tuxes, pink suspenders and the chocolate brown dresses of the girl’s friends (aka “maids”). The girl (yet again!) finds a striped tie (on sale!) from Banana Republic that may just work! She likes that the tie’s predominant color is chocolate brown, and thinks that the stripes are formal enough for a big party they are hosting.

She is unsure, however, if the brown and pink will clash horribly with the black tuxes.

I think both of the suspenders will work really well! I’m not so sure about the brown/pink/black tux combo though…:/. May a different fun colored tie that didn’t have neutrals in it would be a good alternative?

So I accidentally clicked “no” for question #2 but I meant yes!

I think you need a solid color tie. There’s so much going on. And I just hate brown and black together. Sorry.

I like the look of the thin suspenders. The thick ones remind me of what older men wear to actually hold up their pants, while the thin ones remind me of guys in the club.

As for the tie I would look for a plain black or pink personally. I just can’t get over the brown with the black. Sorry I’m not much help!

Most fun test I’ve ever taken!
At first I was going to say no to question #2 because I usually hate brown with black, but the more I pictured it the more I felt confident it would work! I think you have to have brown in the ties to tie in your bridesmaid dresses!
Oh and definitely the thinner suspenders!

I think brown and black go well together as long as the brown is a dark one. For the men in our bridal party we are doing black tuxes with a black shirt, dark chocolate vest and matching tie. It looks very sharp on them.

I think the tie/suspender/tux idea would work as a color combo, but I wonder if the striped ties and pink suspenders wouldn’t be a little busy. I voted that I thought they would work, but it would be good to see it on the “model.”

do you already have the tuxes? I fell in love with some new brown tuxes that are available this year

Thanks for your input!
@MissLadyTay: Any suggestions for a color for that solid tie? We were going to go with brown to match the BMs but it looked horrible with the pink suspenders. I’m thinking that the combo may be OK because noone will ever see the entire pink suspenders/tie/jacket combo all together. You’ll either see the tie and jacket, or the tie and suspenders.
@April: We actually thought of going with a pink solid…but I’m not really feeling that much pink for them.

I would find a tie with pink, brown and black in it to tie it all together.

I think if the men are all fairly lean then definately the thin suspenders. Also for the ties why not get a pink tie that has black in it so it isnt a solid pink tie and will work with the black suit.

To me, the thick suspenders make the model’s shoulders look so much smaller. It could be his posture though.

I totally think you can do the brown and black together. Are they wearing a white or pink shirt!? I say you could totally do an all pink tie. We got one for Mr. PT at Pink that is actually pink with some white!? Just an option. Oh, and he’s wearing a pink shirt too.

Love the idea of brown and pink, but agree with previous posts about solid colors for the ties — or at least a more subtle pattern?

Black and brown are both neutral- they go together perfectly! Doesn’t anyone watch fashion shows?

Are the guys wearing vests? I think the tie & suspenders go fab together, but am not a fan of the black tux with them… Maybe because I’m just not a fan of black tuxes? *lol* (what about a brown tux?)
