Friday OT #2 - Fancy Pants

[Angie]

I always find it interesting when I go to a gala, a funeral, or a wedding, and see how widely disparate people's clothing ranges. You see a really broad range of interpretation of "formal."

Describe your favorite dress-up outfit/look/whatever. Are you a tux or dress person? Sportcoat and jeans? Button up and khakis? Polo and jeans? Van Halen t-shirt?

3 piece suit. I love the vest!

Black suit, white shirt, no tie.

I will wear a dress to the appropriate level of fancy needed. I haven't been to a gala in years, so I don't have super formal dresses.

Casual all the way. I still dress like I'm 12.

I agree with this guy.

Doggone it Angie! I had high hopes for this thread. I was looking to see a display of little pieces of lace that you gals call panties. And yes, I suppose some of the guys wear them also. I choose not to name names however.

I agree with this guy.

That looks really sharp, but I've never worn it. I wear a button down and jeans normally so when I have to dress up I like to go with a suit and tie. I actually really don't like business casual. I don't like how it feels and I don't feel comfortable wearing it.

That's not creepy.

I agree Woo. I'm either casual or formal. Business casual is just weird.

It's casual Friday.

I hate dressing up so I try to as little as possible. When it comes to weddings and stuff it really depends on the people getting married. For fancier couples I'll do a tie, but I never really do a jacket. If it's my dad's side of the family they just wear blue jeans and cowboy boots so you can really wear whatever so you don't stand out.

Hell I wasn't even wearing shoes at my own wedding. (destination)

 

[00clone]

That's not creepy.

Sure it is, 2 creepy's don't cancel each other out. The dudes wearing panties creepy doesn't cancel out asking about angie's unmentionables creepy.

I always feel like a dress and heels are appropriate for weddings and funerals, but at the weddings, take the heels off to dance and at the funerals, they just dig into the ground at the cemetery. Plus I don't feel like torturing my feet any more. So now I just forget it and wear comfortable shoes.

I usually wear a sport coat with an oxford underneath. If a tie is necessary I'll wear a two-piece suit. I prefer to wear a shirt that's not white.

Totally agree. White shirts are boring.

I'm short. Like, super-short. 5'2" in shoes short. So, by all rights, I should wear heels constantly. Except the thing is that I walk like an idiot in them, I just can't make it look right. So, I usually just wear really short heels, wedges, or similar. I've just embraced my shortness.

My wife has an uncle that needed a heart transplant and spent a lot of time at the Mayo Clinic. Evidently, members of the local Mennonite churches spend a lot of time their visiting the patients. He got to know one of the Mennonite girls really well and was invited to her wedding in Kansas. She didn't think he'd actually show up. He did show up. Everybody single person other than the uncle was dressed in black. He wore a Tommy Bahama shirt.
