    Semi-formal event, need your help guys.

    Fixed, thanks ;)

    Semi-formal event, need your help guys.

    Alright guys, here's the semi-final composition. (****** cam, sorry!) Followed your advice and kept it classic, with french cuff white shirt and white pocket square. And black shiny patent leather shoes. The tie is dark navy-ish (purple tint), though I am thinking of exchanging it for...

    Semi-formal event, need your help guys.

    Thanks, yes, I was thinking of solid rectangle buckles. One quick question about about the tie, for educational purposes. Black normal size or slim? Or a dark one -- something that looks like this but a hint darker: http://www.styleforum.net/content/type/61/id/791956/. Are all of them equally...

    Semi-formal event, need your help guys.

    Alright lads, to wrap it up: Black suit, fitting decently, sleeves shortened, slim waistline. White french-cuff shirt. Black oxford shine shoes, black belt with solid buckle (right?). Now, pocket square options: White, Purple, Black with purple dots, Red. Cufflinks: metallic or silk? Just...

    Semi-formal event, need your help guys.

    Thank you for the advice. I am definitely not trolling. I am now considering a french-cuff white shirt with cufflinks (that I have no idea about admittedly), and either a slim black tie or a very dark purple one. If I can find one, that is. If you got any other input guys, I'm all ears.

    Semi-formal event, need your help guys.

    Thanks for all the input guys. The dress code is 'dark clothes or other formal wear'. But it's a student event, so you will spot some blazers, and some joker dudes in bear and superman costumes. Nevertheless. I got the black suit, I'm trying to find how to best maximize it's potential. Do...

    What about with this tie? Would you wear this on a formal-semiformal event?

    Semi-formal event, need your help guys.

    I guess I was thinking of something like this : What do you think of the colors? (Admittedly his black suit is all the way black, mine is more the classic that tends to dark grey.) The truth of the matter is, I am in no position financially to invest money in another suit. The black is a good...

    Semi-formal event, need your help guys.

    Thank you very much for your input :) I've already got a black suit, and I don't think that one gala warrants the purchase of a tuxedo. I wouldn't want to buy a polyester tuxedo for one night either, though I'm sure it is a valid choice in general. It's a college gala, so people from 19 to...

    Semi-formal event, need your help guys.

    Hey lads, Long time lurker in need of direct advice, I present to you my problem :) I am attending a student gala next month and, while it is considered a formal event (black-and-white), since it's a student thing I believe the general dressing level will be sub-par, with the occasional tux...
