The What to Wear Where? Thread

[ladyday]

If you're leaving anytime soon, pack a parka and an umbrella-- it's freezing!
However, weather change is daily, not seasonal, so be prepared for anything.
Best advice is lots and lots of light layers.


Have fun! It's a great city.

Black Tie Optional

Hey Y'all! My boyfriend and I are going shopping today for a dress (for me) for his company's Christmas Party (Saturday). The invitation is Black Tie Optional. He is going to be wearing a Dark Blue Pinstrip suit. I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT I SHOULD WEAR! Please Please Please help me out! Can anyone give me an ideas?!?!?!

 

[Allius]

Since it is his COMPANY'S party, meaning it is going to be a professional enviroment. I would say keep your outfit elegant, but still sexy. I would say go with a dress that does not go past the bottom of your knees.

Since it's "black tie optional" and it sounds like he won't wear a tuxedo, may I suggest that he should probably wear a suit in a solid navy/dark grey/black, not pinstripe; dark, solid colour is dressier than pinstripe.

Women should traditionally wear a below the knee or floor-length dress for black tie. Not nearly as dressy a gown as with white tie, but def. dressed up.

Light layers are the best way to go when you travel. It's easy to peel off one layer if you get to warm, and more comfortable than giant bubble coats!

It's like 56F / 40F in here right now. ANd if you're coming this fall or spring, you might wanna bring an umbrella, beanie, gloves, some sweater and a warm jacket. It's hella cold here now. Our highest temp is gonna be at least 60F.
Hope you'll enjoy the finest city Bay Area!

Graduation outfit

Here i am, about 6 months from graduation, thinking about what to wear and so on

I've thought about different styles and the plan looks like this at the moment:

Suit, navy blue
Brown shoes and belt
Cufflinks and buttons in steel (brushed steel?)
Graduation-cap in white black and yellow
White shirt
Tie with something yellow in it (meaning to pick upp something from the cap)
Handkarchief in a so far unknown color, matching the tie.


What do you think? Another guy was saying BLACK shoes and i was like WHAT, black and navy matched? Will that work? If you have some pictures of that working out nicely, please post.

Also, post your own ideas for graduation outfits or pictures of it, inspiriation is always great. (girls are allowed too )

Which dress to wear?!

Tomorrow is homecoming and I'm in a bit of a dress crisis. I have two dresses and I don't know which one to pick. Here is the fist one :

It makes me feel beautiful and femenine.

Then there's this other black, strapless, and form fitting dress with cool sequins on the end (not cheesy overdone sequins, though. they're very tasteful). This dress feels sexier, and makes my legs look hot

The problem is someone said my white dress might be a little too formal and plus it might be a little harder to dance in. However with the black one, its not very unique, and EVERYONE is wearing black (like at least 90 percent of the girls, seriously).

I'd reallllly appreciate some advice

 

[BaroqueRockstar]

i'd say black
trust me, shorter dress > longer dress for homecoming. MUCH easier to dance in

 

[kiss&tell]

^Yeah true because you might trip in the longer one.

 

[TheDesignStudent]

Your wardrobe might depend on his position within the company! I recommend a dress or gown, below the knee in a dark solid, such as black, charcoal or a dark jewel tone...

Consider dressing with the executives wives in mind, taking care to not upstage a supervisors wife, while being a bit better attired than most of the women and spouses in your boyfriend's department...

 

[couturesplatter]

hey guys, i have a party to go to next week, and the theme is rockmantically chic.. any ideas on what to wear?

 

[mu55inthemule]

Hi guys

Just want your opinion on this as an outfit for a christmas night out next week.......I cannot decide..........what do you guys think?

Thanks

 

[Trista]

Hmm...no on the shrug, no on the jeans.

As far as the homecoming, I disagree, homecoming IS a formal dance so go for the long dress.

[Beautiful Stranger]

If any of the tops are a little big, use that one, with the tights, the purple scarf and the boots. If not, the dress, scarf and boots.

 

[cierrughhh]

the largest t-shirt you have with you, or borrow one of your boyfriends, black tights, and chucks!

 

[solg]

If any of the tops are a little big, use that one, with the tights, the purple scarf and the boots. If not, the dress, scarf and boots.
