    Help a socialist dress

    Hi. I'm a socialist and I need help on picking an outfit for an evening event I'll be attending about a month from now. I usually wear a suit and tie when everyone else does, but a suit is really a right-wing institution and this time I actually want to make a political statement(and clothes are...

    White tie in broad daylight

    I saw this practice at state functions in some conservative countries. It was worn with a black waistcoat. Can someone please explain? What's wrong with morning dress?

    Details on this belt.

    Okay, I fell in love with that belt/sash/whatever on the left(see attachment). Anyone care to give me some details. Apparently it's military or something. Any chance I(as a civilian) could wear something like that and get away with it? credits to james sherwood

    Summer hairstyle

    OK, so I usually keep my hair long, but when the weather is getting hot, I can't stand it. So I decided to go for a medium haircut. My face shape is round, I am a young adult, but I prefer conservative hairstyles. Suggestions?

    American table manners

    I live in Europe. However I enjoy the american style of dining("where meat is cut with the knife in the right hand and fork in the left, but then the utensils are switched after cutting. The knife is placed across the top of the plate, and the fork is switched from the left hand to right.")...

    altering dinner jacket

    I recently bought a DJ on the net. Unfortunately, the jacket doesn't fit that well. And by that I mean, it's really ok at the shoulders, but further down it's too wide. It's more or less like a sack suit. I would go to a tailor but I'm afraid it would destroy the jacket's cut. So should I risk...

    white tie with DJ

    I saw the Thomas Crown affair remake(1999) again last night and I noticed that Thomas Crown(Pierce Brosnan) was wearing a white bow tie with a tuxedo. As I generally think of Brosnan as a very well-dressed man, I had to ask myself "What the hell?" Is a black and white ball an exception...

    matching Sport coat&trousers

    ok, so we all know: don't match sport coats with trousers, it will look like a suit from the fourth dimension. But what if all you match is the color. I.e. you wear a navy corduroy SC with navy wool trousers?

    Black bow tie

    Well, I'll be short: Can one wear a black bow tie on more casual occasions, like with a shirt and trousers or is it a faux pas?

    casino royale dinner jacket

    I watched casino royale again. I noticed a rather special dinner jacket on one of the players. I believe the player had an italian name. I wonder, how do you call those? And where could I get one? I'm sorry that I don't have a picture.

    Tuxedo etiquette

    So, you shouldn't wear a tuxedo before 6 P.M. But what about those events starting at hours like 4:30 P.M.? It would be very uncomfortable to have to leave after an hour and a half in order to change into a tuxedo.

    wearing the stroller

    I simply love the stroller. However There aren't many occasions where i can wear it. Do you think I could wear it to places/events where lounge suits are required or would it simply be wrong?

    Dress boots pics

    The reason for making this thread is that I haven't found many pictures of these boots on the net. So, I'm talking about true dress boots. Like the ones that can be worn with morning dress. Like these: ^I think these can also be included.
