i forget where i read this but short sleeve dress shirts are never acceptable - not for business or any function. . .even with a tie

LOL which is funny bc that is all my dad wears EVERY SINGLE DAY even when he doesnt have work ( without the tie)

this is from GQ:
Q: Is it a fashion no-no to wear a tie with a short-sleeve dress shirt?
A: There is no such thing as a short-sleeve dress shirt. There is a precedent, however, for wearing a tie with a short-sleeve shirt—that’s the old NASA-control-room look. It goes best with thin black pants, a crew cut, a pencil pack, and a shout of “Go, baby! Go!”

yeah i agree, men should never wear short sleeved shirts to such events

Why don't you just wear whatever color dress YOU want. Just because your friend is wearing blk doesn't mean you have to. Blk is a popular color amongst guests. I like to be different and not wear blk.

you don't have to wear a black dress! you can wear whatever you want.

your FH can wear exactly what you described. would you have him wear a tie? i think it'd be a nice touch.

No short sleeves ..even under a jacket ,....most men then forget they have a short sleeved shirt on and take the jacket off.....

honestly, i have been to several formal events including weddings in the summer months and most of the men had short sleeves.
I don't think it's a problem at all. Especially if a lot of the day will be spent out doors. Even if only the ceremony is outside... i think it's silly that men have to wear long sleeves and get all sweaty and have to deal with that for the rest of the day.

Ive never seen that, if its a beach wedding then that is fine but otherwise every event i went to they always had a suit on
