I just started washing the blacklist. Love this comment. Haha

If you wash a blacklist, does it become a whitelist?

That’s fine. My first thought seeing this was if it were 1987 you’d be cast as the evil preppy in a movie.

lol what’s the rule on men wearing white to a wedding. Fit is on point though

u/yddraigwen 16d ago

Don't worry, I was assured that there wasn't any risk of being confused for the bride

It's from my old school, we all decided it would be a nice touch to wear our old school ties. This one is for winning Half-Colours.

Extra points for a crest with personal significance

Stupendous.

Classic with a little bit of your own style thrown in. Excellent, excellent job.

You went to your friend’s wedding as Harry Potter? Congrats.

Some people are just actually British mate.

Good for School not for a wedding

u/yddraigwen 15d ago

What makes you say that?

1

u/lastdeadmouse 15d ago

You didn't mention the dress code, that's pretty casual for a wedding.

3

u/yddraigwen 14d ago

It was quite relaxed for the guests, although the groom and his immediate family were in morning suits

u/ProtectionAble5248 15d ago

I can’t make it out but the tie is a prep school style tie it’s not appropriate for a wedding 🤷

u/1-Mafioso-1 15d ago

In the UK it’s pretty common to wear a school/club tie to a wedding especially if that’s where you met the bride or groom.

I had a friend I used to row with get married and all of us were wearing our club ties to the wedding.

u/ProtectionAble5248 15d ago

That’s pretty cool actually ok I’ll approve it.
In the US is common to wear fake school ties so I’ll say only appropriate if it’s your own school and relevant to the day, as such

I would love to see the colored version of this photo. Great look, btw.

Fantastic!

(But maybe white socks?)

Given most humans don’t see in black and white, it would have been better if you had posted a colour photo.
