The Edison isn't what I would consider a 'club'- more of a 'lounge.' Lounges are indeed much more likely to enforce a dress code.

Talleyrand take it easy with the condescension. My first impression is that you are a bit of a pugnacious old man. However, I am partially intrigued because you speak with such authority that I am beginning to be intrigued and would like to know which nightclubs have gained your patronage.

I think if you need to ask whether you should or should not wear braces, you currently don't have the attitude to wear them in a nightclub.

Someone with a great deal of individual style, like Label King or the young chap who dresses very 1920s are the kind of attitude I mean.

Re the actual idea itself - there would be a lot worse things than starting a "trend" of men wearing suits on nights out again.

In England there is now Chap culture, where everyone dresses wearing braces, tweeds, hats, Savile Row (if they can afford or thrift it). The women dress very elegantly. I think this is a great sub culture.

Im lounging in my underpants with a glass of Crown Royal. I should put on some suspenders.

The reason there's so much douchbaggery in this thread is because of failing to recogize one simple sartorial truth: you can wear anything you wish, with or without....under one condition only. You must have the cojones to pull it off. Those who don't ask for other people's opinions or resort to snark

The sort of place where wannabes go and ***** their entire months wages on overpriced champagne in a desperate effort to make themselves feel like they're special by way of tenuous association with a few of the Z-list celebrities who occasionally visit the same club.
Ahhh... all the pretension that can be avoided by only going to a strictly goth/fetish club.

I guess it can be, but OP's not a celebrity, he's a student.

As opposed to the person who wears suspenders on accident?

Braces, properly worn, are seen about as much as your underwear.

So, just as you could wear satin tiger-stripe boxers to the club without anyone noticing (unless you specifically showed them, that is), you could wear braces.

Thought I'd update this thread with my first experience wearing braces in a nightclub. Most of you won't care, but then again, I don't care that you don't care...so who cares right??

Anyway, I wore a 2-piece single-breasted navy suit last night, light blue spread collar shirt, and a blue tie. Complemented it with a nice pocket square, and obviously the braces. I tried to make the outfit look as less "businessy" as possible by wearing a rather "funky" Tom Ford tie and a diamond watch. Didn't look too bad...

What did people think?? Nice things... I got a lot of compliments from the club staff ranging from "Hey hey Wall Street 2 eh?? Niceee!!" to "You're gonna **** so much more dressed like this". One of the table managers even came up to me and said "I'm going to steal your style now". Word.

The club manager asked me why I dressed so smart lately and said I looked so "brad pittish" and the cashier lady in the kitchen said "this boy knows how to dress, you should all learn from him"...

But most importantly, I thought that I looked cool and that's all that mattered. Did I feel uncomfortable or out of place? No. Did the gals dig it? Ya they dug it. My friends were the only ones to be like "Haha you're so gay" but they're marsupialed so who cares...

So yeah, that was my 2 pence right there, so like if anyone out there wants to hit up a club in a formal suit, then ******* go with it, you won't regret it...It's totally rad...

Sounds like a really classy establishment.

Did you then proceed to spend upwards of 2K and act all modest about it?
