Help me dress DH for a wedding
We are going to a wedding on the 16th of this month. Its outdoors in the evening. It will at least be 90ish out when the wedding starts at 6. Its semi-formal and I'm wearing this dress.
He has black dress pants and a blazer but E runs warm all the time and if I have him wear that and a long sleeved dress shirt under he is going to be dying of heat.
Thoughts? Ideas? Can he do khakis and a nice shirt? HELP!!!!! Thank you!

No formatter is installed for the format bbhtml
Re: Help me dress DH for a wedding
I would not do tan khakis to a wedding unless it was at the beach. Check the pants fabric- are they wool? Cotton? Polyblend? Consider getting a pair of cotton dress pants. He can wear a button-down shirt with the sleeves rolled to his elbows and a tie and be fine. For an evening wedding I'd do black (but black cotton rarely looks sharp, usually faded), navy, gray, or brown, but not tan or khaki, personally.

ETA: I don't dress to match my husband. If you want to coordinate, get lightweight black polyester pants.
We generally don't dress to match either I just didn't want him to be too casual and me too dressy.
His dress pants are black cotton I believe, I'll have to go check but I like the idea of that with a dress shirt and sleeves rolled and a tie. I guess we might be going shopping this afternoon! Thanks for the help. E is a hard one to "dress" as he would prefer blue jeans and a screen printed tee any day over dress pants.
Thank goodness I'm not the only one! When we got married and he started his first out of the Marine Corps job I had him wearing polo's and and slacks to work and then he decided that because everyone else wore what ever they wanted he was moving back to jeans. Thank goodness he still wears the polo's.
I think a rolled sleeve with tie is like carrying a douche flag. It's the same as popping your collar. Really, the extra few inches exposed to air isn't going to change your temperature.
H has a linen suit that he had from our wedding. He wore a short sleeve silk shirt with it. Granted, it was a very informal wedding, but he's pulled out the suit on some other occasions. If you don't take off the jacket, no one knows how long your sleeves are.
