ummm hi guys. clothing help?

lol...

ok so i'm going to 3 weddings coming up. one of them is my cousin's wedding, and i'm part of the wedding party, and she's getting my tux and everything for me, since in the wedding party, everyone matches (duh)

however, the second and third weddings are my friend's weddings, and while i'm invited, i'm not in the wedding party. in the past, for weddings, i've done with the little black dress standby. obviously that's now what i'm going to be wearing now.
only problem is, i've never looked around at weddings to see what the men were wearing.
one of the weddings is casual, one is dressy (it's actually going to be at in washington DC next to the white house... my friend's mom is a federal judge)

what types of things do guys were to weddings, both dressy weddings and casual weddings. the only thing is i have to wear black sneakers instead of dress shoes because i wear leg braces. my cousin and both my friends are already cool with that, so i dont have to worry about shoes. but what else to i wear??

For the dressy one, you probably want to wear a shirt and tie, and probably a sportscoat or suitjacket if you have one or can get your hands on one.

For the casual one, I'd imagine khakis and a nice shirt, without a tie, maybe?

Buy that black suit. Wear it to the fancy wedding. Wear the pants with a dress shirt (and tie if you want_ to the casual one.

that..... actually sounds really simple.

thanks!

Or you could just wear your little black dress (with the sneakers, of course) and just completely eff with everyone's heads.

phyllis, that would be really hot, especially since i stopped shaving my legs in june XD

Everyone has made some really good suggestions. The consignment shop sounds like a winner to me. I just wanted to ask where the weddings are being held. Sometimes location dictates dress. A reception is in someone's yard is a lot different than one at a hotel or country club.

The last wedding I was at was at a country club in Maryland (both the wedding and the reception were at the same place) and people showed up looking they were going to a country music concert - denim, denim, denim. IMO that should never be appropriate attire for a wedding.

---

I don't remember the name of it but it was in the area of Frederick, MD. I wasn't sure there was much they could do since they couldn't tell wedding guests to leave.

---

If this is the place the casual reception is being held then I would definitely say khakis/slacks and a button down shirt

ETA: "program" is the correct terminology for the little booklets that are handed out at the wedding.

Eris, I'm just dying at the thought that anyone would think that it was ok to wear denim to a wedding, let alone at a country club where denim is traditionally a total no-no! LOLOLOL!

Abba, let us know how it all turns out! I'm sure you'll do wonderfully!

Kohls has amazing deals on suits too, or you can always try Target. They have inexpensive jackets and pants.
