It will be dark prob and everyone will be out of their coats early. This is how that shite goes. Just wear a darker tie and go have fun

Go back to Gwinnett County.

dude you are seriously worked up about people being under dressed
While I'm generally opposed to the casualization of society, I don't get worked up about it. What I do get mildly worked up over are people who brag about being under-dressed, again, as though it's a virtue.
Nothing to do with OP. I was simply musing.

But one of your friends is going to dress like an 8th grader at a back to school dance with a vest & button up shirt? Wtf

You’ll be fine, but my grandmother always told me, when black tie is optional, opt for it.
I agree with this. But I went to a black tie optional evening event in New Orleans recently and I was one of no more than 10 people wearing tuxedos.
OP will be fine.

Either wear a Tux or Boots and Jeans with a nice white button down.
Don't try to split the difference it will look like you're trying too hard.
Either over dress (Tux) or don't give a frick (boots and jeans). If you go boots and jeans wear a freaking cowboy hat so they know you don't care
Crocs and jorts baw.

Well damn, now I’m questioning my NYE choice.
Big party in a nice hotel
Invitation says semi-formal
My favorite suit is a lighter navy
French cuffed white shirt
Gold tie and pocket square (my date’s dress is gold)
Well buffed black shoes.
Thoughts?

I didn’t bring a tuxedo because I don’t have one and I’m not going to rent one for $200 for a New Year’s Eve party.

You trolling? You’re hanging with an exclusive Great Gatsby crowd, but you’re concerned about the expense of a tux? Dafuq?

I went to a black tie event once in my life a few weeks back. After blowing $400 on a tux and nearly that on the tickets, half the frickers were in suits and the open bar was bottom barrel call brands. (Jim Bean, Sky, etc) I felt played.

You’re in the Nola area right. Next time you need a tux rent one from Perlis, only $109 with shoes.

I bought it. wish I rented.
Freaking ugly arse shirt alone was $85.

$400 isn’t bad
I wanted to buy one but it would have cost around $1000 at men’s warehouse. I wear a tux about once a year, paying $109 at Perlis is well worth it.

fricking A, people are grouchy.
I never got an invitation. We do have a sponsor to attend. I’ve attended off and on since I was in high school.
My whole family has gone twice and will this year.
In the past, I’ve always been more on the causal side. This year, I feel like dressing nicer but for the life of me, i always remember about 1/3 of people in tuxedos. It’s always been slightly hazy though because drunk.
I went back and checked pictures of past events and there are people wearing suits too as well as some more dressed down.
My dad will not wear a suit. He hates them with a passion after having to wear them to work for years. And he generally refuses to wear one for any social function.
I hope that somewhat calms people down.
Damn people get angry way too quickly.
