    Outfit for Graduation Night Dinner & Dance (updated with pics)

    What is midnight purple, exactly? Is it "blacker than black", like midnight blue?

    You're Overdressed!

    To use your analogy, the problem wasn't that SkinnyGoomba had more cereal, it's that he was eating a steak for breakfast. Yes, I might want a steak, too, but that doesn't make me jealous for pointing out that it's inappropriate. If he had dressed stylishly AND appropriately, the peanut gallery...

    You're Overdressed!

    It's rude because none of the other guests are dressed up. You don't go to a party to one-up everyone else. especially not the host. Your intentions are admirable, but not everyone will see it that way. That only works if there's a specified dress code, or if the level of formality expected is...

    Should I Get a Bespoke DJ?

    Well, people also used to wear shawl collar dress coats. However, I do not really like the combination of the louche shawl collar and the militaristic dress coat - pointed or m-shaped lapels always look much better and appropriately "sharp".

    Should I Get a Bespoke DJ?

    This might be a stupid question, but what exactly would be the problem with using barathea for most of one's lounge suits?

    Attending a wedding this weekend, don't know what to wear

    Asking if tan shoes is acceptable to wear to a wedding is a basic question? Really? Could you please point me in the direction of the other threads dedicated to this very topic? Regardless, I appreciate your response. Well, it's been discussed before. Traditionally, any serious occasion (and...

    Attending a wedding this weekend, don't know what to wear

    He's referring to the fact that you're asking such a basic question despite having 300 posts. Anyway, wear a dark suit (perhaps something like a navy DB), black belt, well-shined black oxford shoes. For extra smartness, I would also encourage you to consider a starched white shirt with a stiff...

    Of Dressy Clothing and Arrogance

    No, not at all. I can see why you might possibly interpret power ties and loud patterns as making statements, but a fitted waist and padded shoulders? Seriously? Decisions about that sort of thing are made based on what flatters your physique.

    Moderate height-increasing (elevator) shoes- normal-looking

    Well, the OP's name is Svenn, so he's probably Scandinavian and 5'11" might be below average height there.

    What is the most formal city?

    I would have thought that the City of Westminster would be up there.

    Formal Wear (Weddings, Tuxes, Black-tie, etc)..room to play around?

    - Is it tooo silly if I'm the only one in a morning coat? Yes, very silly. Especially if the others are wearing "tuxes" with purple ties. Either have everyone in morning dress, everyone in strollers or everyone in lounge suits. - Can a stroller replace a morning coat, and would it fit in with...

    Outfit feedback

    I'm going to try to be reasonable here. Something being expensive does not necessarily make it good. Do you have any idea what could possibly justify a t-shirt being that expensive? I certainly don't. If it was hand-made by a world-famous artisan who only produces a few pieces with incredible...

    Bernhard Roetzel Responded!

    My main issue here is not wearing a tuxedo during the day but wearing one at a wedding. In many of the weddings I've attended, and the ones my parents attended when they were young (1930s-50s, let's say), the ceremonies were typically in late afternoon and the dinner/dance part went into the...

    Bernhard Roetzel Responded!

    Exactly. Black tie is common at weddings in the US, but that doesn't make it correct. Mr Roetzel's statement that "a tuxedo is completely wrong for a wedding" must be based on the fact that they were traditionally considered appropriate only for "wining and dining". In fact...
