Christening Outfit

Hello,

My nephew is having his christening tomorrow and I am unsure what to wear. He is under a year old, if it helps. I am 20.

I've researched it and the general consensus is smart casual, which suits me (no pun intended!). I have a nice black stripped shirt and some nice black cargo trousers.

My sister said she wanted me to wear the suit I wore to her wedding, but I feel its too smart and I wont feel comfortable.

I also feel my stripped top wont match my suit trousers.

Any thoughts on the matter?

Thank you,
Thought for the day: each generation of mankind tends to hug the illusion of having reached the culmination of human achievement. Yet, as we scoff at our groping ancestors, so our descendants will surely scoff at us.

    hmmm- i'd have to say go with what your sister wants. it must be important to her if she's telling you what she wants you to wear. if in doubt a plain white shirt goes with anything.
