Well, if you go around looking like Alpa Chino in your dark suit/dark tie, that's what you get.
I would have laughed about my mistake, hung up the jacket and tie and enjoyed myself. I don't care how they do it "in your family" (a bit elitist, are we?), you looked out of place and someone called you on it. Don't be angry at that person because you ended up looking obnoxious. Oh, and I'm new to this forum...if I keep reading, will I start overdressing for parties all the time and then blaming everyone else for underdressing?
(a bit elitist, are we?) Yeah Oh, and I'm new to this forum...if I keep reading, will I start overdressing for parties all the time and then blaming everyone else for under dressing?
Who does this guy think he is? ...calling someone well dressed obnoxious

Yes, at some point you'll realize that if you don't look like **** and fit in, you're fucked!
Being overdressed can also be considered rude.
How so? I think there is not enough respect and consideration these days for the host. After all the effort put into making it somewhat of a special event I think by dressing up you are in a way telling the host that the event is a special one and that you are honoured to have been invited (hence the extra effort in dressing). Turning up to a BBQ in a suit, for instance, may be impractical - for you rather than anyone else - but I don't see how it can be construed as "rude".
It's rude because none of the other guests are dressed up. You don't go to a party to one-up everyone else. especially not the host. Your intentions are admirable, but not everyone will see it that way.
