I'd go for it. I always find that jeans are a good 'get of jail free' card when it comes to not wanting to turn up somewhere massively overdressed but not wanting to turn up without your precious pocket squares/blazers/french cuffs etc...
What's totally beyond the pail is jeans, jacket tie, T-shirt.

It can look good if done in a very youthful, Ivy League way with plaids and tweed.Originally Posted by Thurston

I think I would sweat myself to death if I was wearing that outfit! A Tweed jacket, a cadrigan, a shirt, an undershirt... Maybe if it was -40°C
Yet, I really like the outfit!

I wore a navy w/ white pin-dot tie, white shirt w/ blue stripes, Capital E's (the ones I have are fairly skinny and on the side of grey/light blue), and cap-toe oxfords just the other night. It ended up being a bit of a mod look.
Before assembling I was thinking about fashion rules and what SF might have to say, but I ended up with compliments on the look, so I think it turned out well. The outfit carried no pretensions of being for any other sort of occassion that might have a dress code other than a night out at a pub and then a club.

Right. Jeans are only to be worn by the most beautiful among us. The rest should of us should not wear jeans or trousers of any kind.Originally Posted by GeorgePaul
Close. Beautiful women should wear tight fitting jeans or no pants at all. Everyone else . . .

I agree.
But, how in the world do you wear a tie with a t-shirt?!

The answer is yes:
A casual looking button down paired with a slim knit tie and a pair of slim/skinny jeans with converses or vans will look good.
Or watch the Soup and Joel McHale.

IMO This combo is a good kind of "try hard". Think about it. Youre walking around town or at a concert on a weekend night, you see people with loud club striped shirts, bright polos, and bright ties, 'humor' t-shirts hoping to get attention. A tie will always get you attention (easy opener for girls, they'll try and grab it, ask to wear it, etc). So throwing a slim solid tie onto a normal,cool outfit (dark jeans, white or light button-up) is not a bad idea at all. No need for dress pants or a jacket. Just go with the jeans.

Fall-Winter in Michigan....if you are going out to a jazzy spot....jeans with a v-neck sweater & tie is a cool look. If anyone saw CNN Black in America...sort of like what the guy was wearing after they came back from the commercials. A another example would be hip hop artist Common.
