    Wear something original instead of the exact same off-the-shelf stuff that every other muppet will have.

    You left out a few apostrophes, but it's an improvement on your last post.

    When you're dressing for a night out, it's a good idea to stand out from the crowd while still having a bit of class (although seeing as it's a teenage disco, you could potentially get away with more a more extravagant style than an adult might want to stick to). Don't worry about specific brands - if anything, you don't want to wear the same thing as everyone else. Try shopping online instead of in chain shops (harder to figure out sizes, but at least you're not wearing off-the-rail).

    While jeans and a t-shirt can work well, bear in mind that this is what most lads are going to be wearing on a night out. You'll need to put a bit of effort in so as not to look generic. The trend with young lads these days seems to be bright colours with logos and design elements everywhere - I'd suggest avoiding this if you want to look like you have your own style. Less is more. Try a plain t-shirt or a 'ringer' t-shirt (main colour with highlights in another colour at the neck and sleeves). You could add an open shirt over this to make it a bit more interesting (avoid closed plain shirts, as this is what the lads who aren't just wearing t-shirts will be wearing). A shirt over a t-shirt can also help hide armpit sweat stains if you're prone to these.

    I'd recommend against the usual blue jeans. Again, these are exactly what every other lad in the place will be wearing. Try black or white jeans instead, making sure whatever you're wearing on the top doesn't clash. A bit of contrast can be interesting - e.g. a bright-coloured top with dark trousers, or vice versa (dark blue t-shirt with white jeans, for example). I like to match shoes with the top, but matching with the bottoms works too. Black shoes go with anything. Don't wear runners (skate shoes are OK).

    If it suits you, accessorise with a 'necklace' (I don't know what the proper word for a man's neck accessory is). It doesn't have to be expensive as long as it doesn't look cheap. Chains are for knackers; get a leather or fake leather necklace with some tasteful adornments or a pendant. You could potentially add a small leather wristband to match. If you wear a watch, make sure it doesn't look cheap (no Casios).

    Above all, make sure whatever you're wearing is clean and fits well. Tight can look well if you're fit, but too tight will make you look gay. Baggy clothes went out of fashion in the '90s.

    You were doing oh so well until this final bit here, I'm taking my thanks back on your post.

    If you don't wanna look like everyone else at the teenage discos just stop shopping in the same places as them, I can tell where everyone in my town bought all their clothes cause they rarely venture up to a city or somewhere bigger for them.

    FruitLover, calling clothes "gay" is against the forum charter. Please read it before posting here again.
