I know Minty burnt her bra a long time ago so I'm assuming you ironed that shirt?

Have you considered grey shoes?

Call me old fashioned but I particulalry hate seeing anyone wear a suit without a tie. What is the frigging point in dressing up 95% of the way and then leaving out the final piece?

I reckon half of these fookers can't knot a tie properly anyway - by knot properly, I mean selecting the knot to match the structure of the tie and the collar of the shirt.

Fair point, each to their own.

I'm happy either way when it comes to other people, I'm just not a tie fan myself. Ties do look smart, but they don't serve a purpose, hence why I can't be bothered with them. I'd never suggest ties should never be worn.

I would if it was just the night do. In the day I'd consider wearing a tie depending on who's wedding it was, and if I was an 'important' guest, so to speak. Obviously if I was 'told' to wear a tie as part of a dress code (or if I was taking orders from my OH), then I'd do it. I'd have to buy one first though, because I don't think I own one any more, except a black one for funerals.

Do you go along with jacket lapels and working-cuff buttons, shirt collars, double cuffs and links?
None serve a purpose, as such.

... and what purpose do underpants serve?

Pretty much my attitude. I haven't worn a tie since I turned 40 (ten years ago) except for weddings and funerals.

I should have added "for clean people?"

Back to the original question about shoes, depending on the shade of grey you could also think of burgundy coloured shoes.
