OT: What the hell do I wear to a cocktail party?

JakeT. · Jan 3, 2008

Long story short... cocktail party this weekend and was told to dress up a little. Would a button-up shirt and nice jeans work or am I supposed to wear slacks and shit?

Thanks in advance.

Get yourself a sports jacket/blazer at The Gap or something, one that matches your cleanest, freshest shirt. For pants, nice, dark jeans might be okay.

Go with the jeans and button down, but throw a sports jacket on.

you will be underdressed if you are in jeans at a cocktail party. The ladies will be wearing their nicest evening wear. You should at least throw on some slacks. Remember to wear that belt and be sure it matches your shoes.

slacks, ironed collared shirt, sharp looking jacket. make sure your shoes are a darker color than your pants, and that your belt and shoe colors match, too. (yes, you should wear a belt *and* shoes!) :103631605

I second that. What are they going for the Miami Vice look with jeans and jacket.
