Sounds like you are the one who needs advice on getting cougars in $3000 St John knits to claw at you and massage your Oedipus complex. Calm down

You tell him to dress like Steve Guttenberg at a movie premier, for which I basically call you an idiot, and from that you make the inference that I have an Oedipus complex. You're an even bigger tool than I thought, and I'm sure your intro to psych teacher would agree.

Ask yourself "How would George Clooney dress to a 'club?'" Then, do that.

edit: do NOT dress like the one on the left ( jonny, the designer )

great blazer...funny how the previous poster specifically said, "no blazers!!"

Thanks

Sound like you should be dressing like Rick Astley circa "Never Gonna Give You Up."

i think he meant no 'traditional' blazers, like navy with structured shoulders/ brass buttons- anything that would be identifiably a blazer to the MC old fogey types. something in a textured fabric, , maybe thick slubby cotton, and quite unstructured, with minimal shoulder padding and ideally one button is what you want. the one in the picture is Acne.

This is a true statement

I think it's worth specifying what kind of club...There are trashy meat markets full of tanning booth burn victims doing low-alcohol shots that are all thumping bass and strobe lights There are places that include tables, bottle service, music at a volume that still allows for conversation, tasteful lighting, &c. Not sure which kind the OP's going for. Don't think I'd go for either, personally. I'll take a bar over a club any day. Hell, I'll take a crossword puzzle over a club nine times out of ten.
