I have a black tie optional wedding coming up this spring. It is in Naples, Florida. Curious if I would be able to wear a navy suit with a subtle windowpane, dark tie, brown shoes and belt? Or if I need a dark solid suit. Also have a pair of golf ball cuff links I would love to wear because I like to add a little bit of fun to my outfits, but not sure if that is too casual or not. Any help is appreciated!

I would wear black shoes if others will be in tuxes.

I always opt for Tux in these scenarios so I can get a return on my tux purchase.

Depends how deep the navy and brown are but I personally wouldn’t go that route. A minimum you should go with the dark suit (think charcoal) and black shoes. Otherwise you’re going to stick out in your navy/brown combo when everyone else is wearing darker colors

I would’ve said yes given the “black tie optional”, but I’d check with others going

As long as the brown is fairly dark (not tan or cognac) and if the navy is more like a midnight blue you’re probably good. I would maybe skip the fun cufflinks if you’re not wearing a tuxedo and go for a pocket square instead. I’m doing black tie optional for my wedding and told my friends that don’t want tuxedos to just stay conservative without looking like senators.

I think it’s perfectly fine - also think golf ball cuff links are okay. Key word is optional, so you can either go the route of tuxedo or suit. And navy suit and the accessories you mentioned are totally okay. My wedding was black tie optional and many of my guests wore what you’re describing.

How do referrals work?

Quick question.
I was a contractor for a big company and they just let me know that my last day is December 30th. I got this position thanks to a recruiting company that has been great and gives me benefits.
Should I:
- Continue working with the recruiting company, hoping that they will find another position for me? (as they told me they will, and when they applied me I started working with my current company within 2 weeks)
- Work with the recruiter + apply for jobs on my own?

Interested in everyone’s opinions on replica luxury. I ask because, as noted in the previous thread re: Chanel’s price increases, the quality of authentic luxury bags is going way down while the price increases consistently. Specifically Chanel and LV. I’m fascinated in the online rep community and it looks like rep quality has increased exponentially (with genuine materials and 1:1 markings, stitching, hardware, etc). What’s your argument for or against replicas?
