I have several formals to attend in 2024 and I want to get a jump on buying for them while I can save money by shopping sales now. I can't afford to spend a fortune and I don't usually attend formal events so they won't get a ton of use. I don't like plain old black so I found several very nice dinner jackets with tasteful and interesting designs that use some color--one is gray/black and the other green/black. These to my surprise are poly blends but seem to look like very good quality and nicely made.
Two questions: 1. Is a quality Poly blend for something like this a major faux pas? 2. What's the best advice to find a pair of quality black pants that will work with these jackets--do I need to use a specific fabric or sheen? Any advice appreciated.
