What to wear to GF's Birthday...

[SkinnyGoomba]

Dont wear the sweater vest.

I would suggest shirt, no tie and khakis that are slim fitting.

Post pics of your GF or it didn't happen

 

[tesseract]

neither, it looks like your mom dressed you.

Where is the dinner going to be held? I would think that would be the more important consideration.

What the Moo said.

Oh, and I agree with the guys that said only a member of this forum would tell you to go to a bird's birthday party wearing a bow tie.

Is that a bath or a basin in the back?

Her house -> moderately hip Indian place downtown

I also have the light blue gingham in a navy, but I'm wearing it atm

Note that the navy and grey in the first pic are linen

It's a bath. I have no idea why it appears out of proportion in the pic

Does the left shutter swing open okay? I can see it being blocked by the bath fittings.



Oh and I agree, ditch the vest and tie and wear one of the darker patterned blue shirts. Ie blue/navy stripe or gingham.

Nah, they both open fine. I think the picture is just oddly distorted.

I think I'll go w/ the gingham. It's a bit lighter and it's supposed to be a nice night

Wear the chunky blue gingham shirt. No vest, no tie or - ugh - bow tie.

Go for the gingham shirt with no tie. However, if you insist on having a tie, go with the white dress shirt bow tie.

 

[w.o.e.is.me.]

wear the darker gingham shirt.
i kind of like the bowtie personally.
and if it's not your usual, she might appreciate you trying to spruce it up a bit.
it's all in how you carry yourself imo.
not so much what, you wear, but how you wear it.
if that makes any sense at all.

Thank you for posting the photos, and I agree, go with the dark ginham shirt 100%
