The dress code is formal, yet you're planning on wearing an informal suit with an informal shirt? Something is amiss. Now, "formal" means different things to different people, so maybe even in that outfit, you'd be one of the better-dressed ones there. But when in doubt, check with the hosts and make sure they don't mean a tuxedo or a more conservative suit. (They probably don't mean white-tie-and-tails, which is what a "formal" dress code actually signifies, but I couldn't rule it out without knowing the occasion, either.

Hey guysOriginally Posted by darkie123
Have to go to a party. Dress code is just formal. I am thinking of Shiny black suit with dark red shirt and a reddish tie matching both with the suit and the shirt. I also have a dark skin.
Any Suggestions ?
Thanx
Seriously. Not a single one of those items. Burn them all if you already own them.

Don't wear any of those items.Originally Posted by Gwarg
That combo should only be worn if the dress code is "****** causal".

where are you located and what's the age group?
"formal" means different things depending on who it's for (technically it shouldn't)
