Borrowing a Man's Suit for a Wedding
A 40-year-old man asks if it is acceptable to borrow another man's suit for a formal wedding. He is attending a suit requested affair and doesn't currently have a suit that fits him well. A friend has offered to lend him a suit, and he is wondering if it is appropriate to accept this offer. He is open to buying a new suit but wants to avoid unnecessary expenses. While some may not feel comfortable borrowing another man's clothes, in this specific situation, where the friend is fashion-forward and excited to help, it could be a reasonable solution. As long as care is taken with the borrowed suit and it is dry cleaned before being returned, borrowing a suit can be a practical and cost-effective choice.
