Outclassed. I hate to say this but my cousins and I showed up with one hell of a GQ performance. From head to toe, it seemed we were in a completely different league at the wedding.
Tonight was the actual wedding. Traditionally this is when the bride leaves with the groom for the night and the next day. This Saturday, the groom's side will throw the reception. The roles are then reversed. Groom gets to spend a few days with the bride and her family. The company was good, the food was delicious (surprisingly), and the audience couldn't stop but to stare. At one time, as my cousins and I were taking photos, everyone hovered around the groom and turned their heads towards us. Fail? Oh, definitely. (laughs)
I'm not the one to talk bad about anyone, but one thing was very clear throughout this entire thing. The bride and her side of the family lacked...well, class. Besides that little issue, there were a few others who were frowned upon over various reasons. It's not a South Asian wedding without drama. The sad thing about it all is that a wedding is supposed to be an event of happiness and people enjoying themselves. You ever find yourself in a Bangali wedding, take a scan of all the faces in the room and you will find a lot of unfavorable facial expressions. Someone is always jealous, or angry, or simply disgusted by the entire thing. I was too busy making sure my cousins were showing class and staying sharp. My cousins were very thankful for me practicing my skills on them.
What about me, personally? I was too busy looking the best I can. I'm a personal stylist for goodness sake, I have to look the part as well as be the part!
Suit worn today: Dior. I was all about Dior tonight with a classic black and white. White French cuffs shirt with fabric torpedo cuff links. A thin silk black tie. And had a Versace dress belt around the waist. My trusty LV wallet placed in my left breast pocket (inside blazer). Everything else, brought to you by Dior. I won't mention the watch...security reasons. ;-)

Straight to the point, ladies. It's OK to lie your pants off at a wedding...or erm your dress off? Never mind. I know there are plenty of wolves out there prowling into your territory trying to hook up. Most of them, you are completely repulsed by. Do what you have to for the night to avoid them. Even a proper lady needs to keep up with her reputation and telling a lie or two...or ten will not tarnish your image at all. Do what my girl cousins did today by clinging onto my arm to fend off the would-be-rejections.
- Gentleman Tip of the Day -
I will only say this once. Mainly because I caught one of my cousins doing it, but thankfully, I caught before we left for the wedding. The second time I caught another fellow at the wedding with a black suit and brown socks. I wanted to shout in his face and slap some sense into him. Never, ever, and I mean never wear white socks when it comes to suits or tie and shirt combo. The only time you can wear white socks is when you are in the course of doing something athletic or hitting the gym with your sneakers. Depending on the color of your suit/pants, you should stick with the classic black, different shades of brown, and different tones of gray colors. You have to be stylish from head to toe and everything within. Yes, even when it comes to your underwear.
