I loathe taupe, but it's probably just me.
No, I hate taupe too.
Seriously, P-Cow, black suits are not uncommon on the West Coast.
Also, I have a black tie you could borrow if you want.

Right?? I thought black suits were the Platonic suit.
No, they're a more recent development rather than Classique.
But they've been in regular rotation for a good fifteen-twenty years now, aside from funeral wear.

Thanks. I'm kind of excited about my Donald Trump tie, though.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
I would buy a black suit for P- C ( I've seen a number of younger Indian men in black suit around here - the look is hot ) and for a second suit I would for something that says party . DH has a suit that is a very subtle tiny check in blue -- It is a littl more fun and great for thing like wedding . -- and If y'all think of my Matt -- he is a very conservative dresser. So I'm not talking anything startling , just a little more fun

None at all?
Nope. My parents probably went to a few, but they weren't fans of funerals and certainly wouldn't have taken us. We had memorial services for both of them. I don't think it has come up since I've been an adult. My friend Kelli also had a memorial service.

Oh good, I've set that to tape.

Oh, that's the Demonia/Pleaser brand one! Sadly, I don't want that huge of a ruffle on it.
