my semi-formal attire is a suit-top over a clean t-shirt and jeans. looks nice on me anyway.

 

 

 

as for ya pic, yeah undo the top button without tie. looks more relaxed rather then standing stiff as though your best friend married your mother. =\

 

 

 

I've always thought you need a reasonable bulk to pull off suspenders.

 

1 word: Pillows. :

I'm gathering it's a bit too late, but I think the best way to go would be nice pants, leather belt, leather loafers, a dress shirt tucked in, with the top button undone, and a sports jacket over the top.

 

But not everyone has a jacket.

Or, you know, a ruffled blouse and waistcoat combo. Made of snow. Classy.

What's homecoming? Where I'm from it works differently and I'm too lazy to go search :lol:

Homecoming basically includes a football game (where your team is expected to win), a parade, some "dress-up" days at school, and a dance. The dance is semi-formal so it requires you to dress up a bit and bring a date (though some people choose to go alone).

Or in my case, guys who can't get a date to save their life. Although I would've had the chance for once, but because my girlfriend's parents are [bleep]es, she can't go :S

 

I'm telling you. Go with the suspenders. And I'm not joking either. They look bossy.

I wouldn't think so. I don't know though.

Confusing thread really, I've been to multiple parties/occassions where semi-formal didn't involve a tie at all. Maybe a blazer jacket and a good italian white shirt, but never a tie. (Maybe the customs are different in some parts of Usa/Europe) Usually, a (neck)tie is only worn when the host requires "formal dresscode" in the invitation. If it's a party a bowtie might be used.

He's talking casual like you would be casual with a boss.

 

 

 

Anyways, take my advice, and wear a white silk dress with it. Bring a harmonica in your back pocket, too.

 

 

 

Oh crap, you've probably already had your homecoming, huh? My bad :lol:

 

 

 

Ours is next week, or the week after. Can't remember.

 

Fix'd.

 

 

 

What did you even change? :?

Semi-Formal, eh? Gimp mask, Trenchcoat, odd Socks, Goth Boots and [bleep]e your hair up as much as possible. Then [bleep]e the punch with LSD.

pretty ghetto with no tie

Jacket or a stylish trench coat(I like those), no tie, button-shirt and an undershirt or whatever you call them. My fave.

Andufus, subtleness was key to my joke (And it wasn't a great joke...), and explaining it will definitely mess it up.

I'm more interested at what that Coura thing is on the shelf, next to the bottle of Magnesium.

[hide=Picture Here!]

 

 

 

Haha does this work? Plus fancy shoes, of course.

 

 

 

If no tie, unbutton top. If a tie, leave it buttoned. I think it's fine.

OMG Koalas, watch out!

 

 

 

But in all seriousness, for future reference I think Semi-formal includes a tie and a long-sleeved dress shirt. If they tie has a pattern then stick with a solid colour shirt and vise-versa. Of course dress pants and dress shoes but if you're the kind of person who can pull off formal attire with sneakers without coming off as a jerk then go for it (good dress shoes are expensive and you don't wear them that often). Never button your shirt up all the way if you're not wearing a tie, it just looks weird. I'm guessing this is all too late but you can't say you didn't learn something.

The material of the shirt should be the skin of a beast you have slain recently. Its blood will be your pattern. You should wear a tie.

MATCH YOUR BELT WITH YOUR SHOES!

 

 

 

Just had to get that out. Black belt? Black shoes. Brown belt? Brown shoes? Brown belt. Clashing this makes your entire outfit look off. By way, I'd recommend a slim-fit shirt with a slim tie. It's currently "in."
