What to wear for ball

[GloryField]

Professional school ball, last year I wore a suit, but that suit is way too small. I have a suit separate jacket that is a little bigger but still tight. What do you guys think? Suit vs Cardigan, and lavender tie vs blue tie?

And charcoal gray pants vs black pants?

really tight there...:\\ no other choices?

If money is tight, just don't button the jacket. The cardigan looks a little like Mr. Roger's neighborhood.

None of the above. Go thrifting. Or take out more loans

The cardigan above is a medium. I exchanged it for a large after taking the pics so it won't be as tight

Go to some thrift stores and find a decent suit. Take it to an alterations tailor and slim the sleeves, body and trousers for cheap.

I haven't been to a ball in ages in anything less than white tie and tails. I guess we don't move in the same circles (or at least we don't go to the same balls).

So I guess it depends on what the invitation says, as well as what other guests will be wearing.

I was gonna suggest some Air Jordans!!! Thought you were going to hoop!

I would suggest black pants. A "ball" is usually attended in white tie and suits with "tails" so I would not bring any new colors. I would stick to black or white for all your clothing items.

Thrift shop DJ & pants + dry clean = cheap possible solution.
