Here's a question for the fashion loving bunch

[HEyHEY]

Going to a party tonight, I don't know many of them but it's in the young, student/artist/people who dig the grubby earthy yet cultured scene part of town, it's kinda like "The village" in NYC. What should I wear?

[Scaramouche]

1. First of all, don't go dressed like the guy in the sig line...

Unless, you put on the sport jersey, get black ass-drooping jeans, and try some corn-rows. Then would be shoes OK...

On edit: You could always wear a DU t-shirt and make a political statement...

[HEyHEY]

2. but I AM the guy in the photo!

That's how I dress


Just kidding

3. It's clothes that make the man...

As opposed to nudity...

Hear are few sensible fashion tips from Scaramouche:

Never, ever wear an ascot unless you want to be thought a pompous ass;

Bow ties, are never coming back in style outside of Black-Tie occassions;

Never suffer for fashion's sake....

Good Luck!!!

4. hmmm an ascott

If I'm in the pompass ass mood I shall do so..usually I end up being called that anyway THANK! you!

[Scaramouche]

5. Make sure that the ascot has a matching kerchief...

in the breast pocket...Go with the silk ascot under the white or light-clolored shirt... The jacket should be darker but in the same color spectrum...Contrast is important!

Extra point: socks match the color of the shirt...

6. Staple outfit

When in doubt you can never go wrong with khaki flat-front chinos/cargo pants. I don't know how fancy this party will be, but a black shirt that buttons down the front with the sleeves rolled is safe. Wear black loafers and a barn coat (in any color you have, but navy,)to complete your look. For a more casual look substitute in a black turtleneck or t-shirt. If you are a little more daring, I love to see men in fitted buttoned shirts with a fun pattern (think Abercrombie for adults,) and black pants. To me, this crowd would frown on anything with a label, so don't show up in anything with a Tommy H. flag or RL on it.

*General rule: It is always better to be a little overdressed because you can pretend you have somewhere fancier to go later in the evening.

7. How about a grungy Mountie jacket?..Gotta admit you'd certainly stand out!

8. Emergency, Emergency!

Calling the Fab Five! We need a "Queer Eye" consultation STAT!

[HEyHEY]

11. I don't trust that method

Last night I was wearing a grey blazer with sort of yello plaid crosses and dark brown pants with a yellow shirt, a bunch of gay guys told me it didn't match...BUT THE YELLOW SHIRT CLEARLY BRINGS OUT THE YELLOW CROSS PATTERN!

9. black

black pants, black turtleneck Black shoes

You can't go wrong with black.

[HEyHEY]

My buddy used to say

When you wear black..people notice

10. That little basic black dress

and a string of pearls works almost anywhere.

12. do you think....

HEyHEY would look good in a "little black dress"????

[HEyHEY]

15. If I could find it...I would post the pick

Of me a t age for wearing a red plaid dress and blouse with the perect look on my face..the kind of look only a 4 year old in that outfit could perfect

[patdem]

13. HEyHEY...leave the ice skates at home...first and foremost

then wear clothes...IMHO

[HEyHEY]

14. What if a hockey game happenns

I'll be stuck!

[LuLu550]

16. Ok, then

go with the black dress, the pearls AND the hockey skates. You can't miss!
