Cocktail Attire

Sir Cingle · Nov 7, 2009

Fantastic combo, R&T!

Reds & Tops · Nov 7, 2009

Thanks gentlemen.

Mac - I will definitely be wearing a PS. Likely a white linen razor edge. I was considering tassel loafers, but the only pair I have are brown. Perhaps that will work...?

Cocktail attire for me usually means pajamas, or the day's OCBD with a pair of pajama bottoms.

Where do I go in such a get-up? Nowhere. Everyday is cocktail day at my house.

This is the correct answer.

The outfit the OP has put together looks great! I don't think brown tassels will look right, but that's just my opinion.

R&T - Like the shirt and tie combo. It is nice to mix up looks with different collars.

There is nothing ambiguous about "cocktail attire". For men, it's the same as "business attire", if perhaps a bit more formal: dark suit, conservative tie, conservative shoes. The main difference is for the ladies. Women can wear a business suit for business attire, but cocktail attire generally means a cocktail dress.

PS: Reds, looks great.

Heading out the door...

Thanks everyone for the kudos. Here's the final product, in case I can't get my hands on any shots from the event tonight.

Looking great.

By the by, you look a tad like Pete Campbell on Mad Men.

Bravo on the tie selection. I would bag the clasp for a party; it seems to interrupt the pattern of the tie.

Orsini · Nov 10, 2009

Very nice, although the tie might be a bit sporty for a cocktail party...

mcarthur · Nov 10, 2009

R&T,
Very nicely done!

Cowtown · Nov 10, 2009

Well done and I second Joe Tradly's Pete Campbell comment.

But hopefully much less of a jerk!

Good choice with the tie.

Thanks everyone. The evening consisted at cocktails, a awards presentation, followed by dinner. A bit broader than just a cocktail party.

I hear what you are saying about the clasp, but I'm addicted to it. I can't wear a tie without one now.

On a higher note, I was seated across from the lovely Andie MacDowell and her daughter Rainey. Lovely women and fantastic dinner table mates.

I like the clip R&T, great outfit.

Interesting picture of Mrs. MacDowell I remember when I was a kid and I saw Groundhog Day on video I had a huge crush on her.

Reds & Tops · Nov 11, 2009

Thanks TBS for the compliment and reminding me that she was in GHD. Great flick.

I almost never go without a tie clip either, especially for dinner. They are handy and stylish. Keep doing it!
