Nice Day for a White Wedding

December 16th, 2009 @ 11:33 am by Mrs. Nachos

When I pictured myself walking down the aisle towards Mr. Nachos, in my head he was wearing the expected white linen shirt and khaki pants. The more we looked at pictures though, the more we both liked all white better.

We really thought we’d be able to find white linen in July with no problem. Boy, were we wrong. Mr. Nachos called the Men’s Warehouse and was told that they had white linen pants and long sleeve shirts in stock, so we headed out and thought we were in for some easy one-stop shopping. When we got there, the gentleman that greeted us at the door looked at us like we were speaking a foreign language. They had already gotten their fall clothes and were out of stark white linen. On to Kohl’s. They had a great pair of drawstring pants, but paired with the only long sleeve shirt they had (no collar, kind of pajama-looking), I am not kidding, Mr. Nachos looked like he was ready to crawl into bed. I think I laughed until I peed a little.

We ended up going downtown on Michigan Avenue and went from store to store with no luck. Our last stop before we hit the train was TJ Maxx. And believe it or not, we found tons of white linen pants and shirts! He tried on a few shirts that were a bit see-through, and with his chest hair, it looked like he was trying to smuggle a small animal under there.

Gotta be careful with linen!

He tried on a few more and we found the perfect ensemble, a Michael Kors long sleeve shirt, along with perfectly matching Polo Ralph Lauren pants (and we saved about $200 based on the marked down price tags). So we left with smiles on our faces, the wallet a little heavier than expected, and Mr. Nachos’ wedding attire. And he’s wearing Michael Kors! That’s a first. Good old TJ Maxx. Who knew?

Which do you prefer on the groom for a beach wedding?

I think personally, I like the look of the white shirt with khaki pants, but that might be because I couldn’t convince The Hubs to wear white pants. ;)

I love the khaki pants with white shirt look, and I’m not a fan of white pants just because I know I’ll have to clean them. We are accident prone, so I know how the color white just attracts trouble.

Not a fan of the all white linen look on a guy - I think it looks sloppy. Sorry! Hope your guy looks sharp in it though!

I hate khaki pants…I think they’re geeky and something a guy would wear into the office. Linen is very beachy and not to mention comfortable and doesn’t get hot. My fiance got his linen pants at Tommy Bahama and we’ll probably get a shirt from them too….when he tried them on he said it felt like pj’s. Score.

I love the look with khaki pants - but maybe only because when I dreamt of a beach wedding that’s what I had my FH wearing!

I think Mr. Nachos will look great in all-white linen. Just make sure to tell him to put sunscreen on underneath it! You can burn through thin white fabrics!

Personally, I prefer the white/khaki combo (linen khaki pants). But I think that’s because in my head the all white looks like pajamas. Kudos on avoiding that pitfall and I’m looking forward to seeing photos that prove my brain-image wrong!

I might be a lil’ biased since the hubby wore all white linen, but really I don’t think you could go wrong either way.

We went to a beach wedding in Anguilla a couple of years ago, and the groom and best man were definitely sporting white suits :-)

“with his chest hair, it looked like he was trying to smuggle a small animal under there.” LOL. The squirrel pic was so funny.

@Mrs. Mouse: Good to know! I had no idea.

And the pic I included with the all white doesn’t quite do Mr. N’s wedding attire justice, but it was the only pic I could find of white on white. Can’t wait till the big day and afterwards once I have pics of him all decked out to post :)

Wow, go TJ Maxx! I’m trying to convince Mr. Parfait that all-white is a good look for him, too. : )
