Christmas Party Attire (suit)

[ImTheGroom]

WHOAH! Jorkee, is that the bottom button I see done up on your jacket? No. Absolutely not. Never. Best way to look like you never wear a suit is to do up all the buttons.

Seems some were so blinded by their hatred of black suits, that they failed to notice.

Depends on the pic. Some were because I wasn't wearing pants, and the rest were just sheer ignorance.

It's funny because I actually knew that and followed it at one point, but the last time I wore a suit was June, and apparently I momentarily forgot. Noted... again.

In case my second part question got lost in the sea of quotes and my blissful ignorance, is there a good alternative to the black tie to make sure I don't look like hired help if I decide to take my jacket off? Burgundy tie maybe?

 

[ImTheGroom]

Burgundy ties pretty much always look good.

Or do not take off the jacket, I do not know what kinda physical shenanigans you will be getting yourself into, but generally attempt to leave it on for as long as bearable. When wearing a suit or a odd jacket with odd trousers you normally don't have to consider what you look like without the jacket, because the shirt is considered a undergarment, and as such you would be half way naked without your jacket.. I do know that in reality many people will loosen ties and leave jackets on chairs as a night progress, but if your concerned with the way you look try to minimize your no-jacket exposure... IMO

I always keep my jacket on. But it has more to do with my own neurosis than style.

 

[jorkee]

I imagine I won't be doing any rock climbing or bull fighting at this party, but as a general rule the more alcohol I consume the more vigorous my dancing gets, so who knows what shenanigans I'll get into. I'll make it a point to try and keep the jacket on. I also just realized how awkward it's going to look if I'm running around with a semi see-through white dress shirt anyway; as I'm fairly heavily tattooed.

At least your in oil and gas.

I'm in the finance industry with two full sleeves.

Embrace the ink! Lol

 

[NefariousSabatour]

if you're in finance no one should ever see your bare arms anyway.

Yeah Oil and Gas in Alberta is a pretty lenient industry that's for sure. I think they're just appreciative if people can walk upright and suffer from substance abuse seasonally instead of year round.

wait, grey pants, a blue blazer and a black tie?

the black tie is a bad idea here if you ask me.

If I can find a nice one at lunch I may be replacing it with burgundy. What would other good options be? Dark grey?

Yeah, but when they go down to your wrists, they tend to peep out.

At least I'm on the marketing side of things, no one really has any issues.

 

[jorkee]

Yeah by the time mine is done my dress shirt won't hide it 100% either. I just need to find a way to hide the tear drop prison tats on my face now.
