    That depends on who you go with!

    Are you going alone or with a Boyfriend or Girlfriend?

    Sounds like the fashion police will not like you for not wearing a black tie. Be rebellous, dress casual, dress your own way instead of some old fashioned upsticky nonsense!

    As a run-on from a previous thread, why not go in a Beetlejuice suit? It'll stir up conversation at least.

    They can start off a bit too formal and stuffy but as the night rolls on people relax and inhibitions go. I love a classy function in an upmarket joint, especially the chance to dress like a gentleman. Women like dressing up and being noticed and I do too by turning out in flawless evening attire.
