Wasn't sure if this was a reference to clubbing or what happens when you're a white guy with a valuable coat in South America.

I mean, depending on your job and what you need to wear, if you don't have to wear dress shoes to work it's good to keep 1-2 pairs aside for things like weddings, funerals or something like that. Otherwise, i still wear my nice laceups to have fun in. You haven't really played beer pong until you've done so outdoors in the dirt/grass wearing suede NDCs, ldo

If I saw a white man in 2010 wearing a seersucker suit, I'd honestly think he was prepared from the moment that he put it on that morning to jump up and let me know his great-grandaddy was the grand dragon, and/or tap dance for me with a cane with a jingle. and/or is RyJ Maduro. If person in question was not white, then I can't say these things on an internets forum, but they're not that flattering.

Hee hee hee dog.

There's a right way to do it and a wrong way to do it, I think. The wrong way is what you described. That guy would probably have immaculate shoes, keep the jacket buttoned just so, have his tie cinched in, etc. I saw a guy like that walking his dog in SoHo yesterday. He didn't look like a white supremacist, he looked like a tour guide to some sort of Mark Twain-themed fun park.

But I think if you undid your tie a little, pushed up your sleeves, and wore it just like you would any streetwear outfit, you could get away with it. Since I got to NYC, I've been surprised at just how normal a person can look via not giving a shit. Saw a girl walking around in drop crotch trousers, white high-tops, and a gothninja coat and it took me a second to register that this was abnormal clothing; she just seemed really at home and matter-of-fact in it.

Exactly. Wear it with a shirt like Epaulet's club collar shirt and a knit tie with distressed oxfords and no sock. Or a short sleeved linen button up, no tie, and slip-ons, also no socks.

I agree w/ the first part. And no shorts for the club, for sure. But I'd take them. Polos and loafers are like jeans and sneakers. Everyone wears them, and most people get them wrong. But that doesn't mean they can't be done well. Which isn't to say that I do. Today was about 95 degrees w/ 90% humidity in Manila. For a walking tour in the morning I wore linen pants, chaco sandals, and a red, striped, polyester polo (champion, for target I think. It was thrifted). They were all ideal. It was the first time I wore the polo, but it worked exactly as I'd hoped. Felt comfortable both in the crazy heat and in some stupidly cold, air-conditioned buildings. This evening I changed into some lightweight jeans, an old (10+ yrs) poly/cotton oxford shirt, and loafers. Didn't go to a club, but had a great dinner and conversation w/ an old friend.

A friend of mine recently wore what a appeared to be a seersucker suit when it fact the stripes and colors were the same without the puckered effect. He is young and very handsome and wore an ascot with a white shirt and beautiful white leather wing tipped shoes. On the surface it sounds like too much, but he pulled it off beautifully and looked as far from someone's granddad as possible. It's a matter of attitude and personal flair.

assuming that you'll actually be on the dance floor and not hanging out with a few drinks:

my standard clubbing fair is a pair of jeans and two t-shirts, an undershirt and a graphic tee on top. if i want to dress it up i'll go with light wool or linen pants and a polo or a button down. always short sleeves. long sleeves are too hot. i'll usually have a hand towel with me in a bag. obviously, the classiness of the establishment may not allow this.

and about halfway through the evening, i'll change into a fresh undershirt/t-shirt combo. to stay cool during the evening, i'll stand in front of the fan that most places have or i'll step outside for a song or two. oh, and i always have deodorant with me. at the end of the night, i have another t-shirt in the car that i change into for the drive home.

Won't you be inside? People party at temps like that in Vegas (well, its obviously not that hot at night) and they don't even really consider the heat. I did a bit of partying in humid ass Florida and didn't dress any different than I do in LA (well, without a blazer).
