ok well, i'm supposed to go to a cousins wedding but my dilema is that my closet doesn't seem to have any suitable clothes that i can wear. So that's why im here and it just seems that my q's can be answered here. Now the wedding isnt fancy but is just fancy enough to the point to were i can't wear jeans. Now I have some black slacks but i don't know what i should wear them with! As i said, just fancy enough to not wear jeans but not fancy enough to rent a tux. now i'm between the age of 14-17 (obiviously i should not be giving away my age in the web!) so that should at least clear things up. now please help me! if anyone needs any more info just ask, i should answer within a few hours ( depends what time though). any help would be greatly appreciated! all i need mainly is a link to some sort of website that has pics of many different styles for my age and kinds of clothes that i'm looking for.

I don't really know what you mean by different styles. Generally male guests and family members (of any age) attending a wedding wear suits, you know, like formal business attire. If you don't have a suit coat (or can't afford one), that's okay. Slacks with a dress shirt and matching tie are fine. Example:

For black slacks, you should wear nice black shoes and maybe a black belt too if you have one. Shirt color is up to you. Perhaps this is what you mean by style? Pale colors and pin stripes are traditional, but strong maroons, greens and deep blues can be handsome. If you want to be really flamboyant, you can wear black slacks/black dress shirt with a contrasting white, or red, or green, (etc.) tie.
For ideas, google images of 'dress shirts', or 'suits' if you're going to go that route instead

Well maybe style is the wrong word. Maybe layering? You know how you can have a vest or some sort of sweater or something like that that you layer.

If your between the ages of fourteen and seventeen, why not just ask your parents?

Well, I guess I could ask my brother( he's been dressing up nicely) but when it comes to my parents, I'm not sure if they would find anything. They tend to pick clothes that look good on other people but the clothes don't look good on me.

If this is what you're looking for (i.e. Not too formal, but still classy looking), you can find a long sleeved tailored shirt (in a nice color, not too dark or brightly colored though, pastel usually works nice for most weddings) and get a black regular button vest or a sweater vest to go over the shirt. Depending on the material your slacks are made out of, your vest decision should match their texture as close as you can manage. These clothing items aren't hard to find online or at your local clothing store, so you shouldn't have any trouble locating them.

Then go get a nice pair of black dress shoes, and you're all set.

Pretty much what the rest said. Slacks, dress shoes, dress shirt, tie. If you're going to get a suit vest (which are sexy) then having it match with your pants is preferred. You can get all them for a fair price at Kohls or something. They have nice brands. No need to go crazy and shop at Express or Kenneth Cole or something. XD

Does anyone have a pictures that I can use as an example?

Something along these lines: [snipped for safety]

Only with varying shirt colors and vest types to choose from.
