RonChalant Posted February 12, 2012 Posted February 12, 2012 So I've been dating this girl for a few weeks and obviously we're going out on vday...I have no clue what to wear. We decided to go "dressy" and she's out buying a new dress just for me (i feel special lol) but I don't know what I should wear. I think a suit is over doing it so I was gonna pull the blazer and v-neck tee look with a nice pair of jeans and some dressy shoes...is this a good look?
carhill Posted February 12, 2012 Posted February 12, 2012 Dressy or Dressy Myself, I wouldn't consider any form of jeans to be 'dressy', but I'm George's age. YMMV. I also feel a light wool or silk suit can be still a bit 'casual' but also dressy. It doesn't have to be 'formal'. The unbuttoned shirt and lack of tie reinforce 'dressy but not 'formal'. Enjoy your date. Make your lady proud
Ninjainpajamas Posted February 12, 2012 Posted February 12, 2012 Depends where you're going. But don't be afraid to dress very nice, she's going to love it, and just the effort. Get some nice slacks or nice dark jeans, with some nice trendy/dressy shoes, and a nice long-sleeved shirt that's from somewhere that's not el cheapo. Did I mention it should be nice? I wouldn't go with a tie or shirt at all, although I'd suggest investing in a nice more stylish than practical coat that compliments your outfit If you can pick one up. You can probably find all of this at the mall or men's warehouse. You sound more comfortable with a pair of nice jeans, maybe short-sleeved collar shirt (you should really wear a nice shirt though) If you don't prefer long-sleeves, and some nice shoes.
TaurusTerp Posted February 13, 2012 Posted February 13, 2012 At least wear a collared shirt if you're going to wear a blazer...you're not a celebrity, in any other context you just look like a schlub who decided to put on a blazer
Els Posted February 13, 2012 Posted February 13, 2012 (edited) I'm really not a fashionista by any means, but I've no idea how you managed to construe 'dressy' to mean a vee-neck tee and jeans. I mean, I know 'dressy' tends to mean different things to men and women, but I don't think the difference should be THAT huge. Ultimately, you should wear what you want for any date, but if you both had decided on 'dressy' I would do a shirt and slacks at LEAST. Can certainly leave out the tie or blazer if you like. I'm not the kind of girl to write a guy off for bad clothes, but if I bought a new dress just for a date with a guy and he showed up in a tee and jeans, you better believe I'll be wearing tees and jeans myself for the rest of our relationship.

ja123 Posted February 13, 2012 Posted February 13, 2012 I'd flat out ask your gf for suggestions. I'm a woman and I've been out with guys who are under-dressed for my attire. Believe me, it really feels uncomfortable and puts a damper on things. You don't want to risk that happening!

Clearly you guys are making a bit more of a special occasion of it. I'd skip out on the jeans and do slacks of some kind with a blazer. I don't think you have to do a tie but you can wear jeans any day of the week. She's buying a dress for you! Although asking her might not be a bad suggestion either.
