Smart vs casual

[rhythmic]

So I'm going to a bar/club tonight, sort of a rock venue, with some work friends. In the hotel now having a sneaky G&T and pondering...

Do I rock up in my suit from work, or my black jeans and vest?

What do you guys think either of these sets of attire says to women?

I know, I know, "whatever you're comfortable in" but honestly, I feel equally comfortable in either. I like wearing suits or dressing casual.

What are your experiences with either dress style?

Bearing in mind the norm is very much going to be jeans and t-shirt, with the odd person wearing a shirt.

would you wear black jeans and vest to a business meeting?

 

[rhythmic]

Certainly not, but I very much doubt anyone else will be wearing a suit or even work clothes here. I'm leaning towards the suit to be honest, but I know I'll be the only person in there wearing a suit. Which is fine, just looking for your experiences in how people perceive you; DO clothes make the man?

well my point was, when in rome, do as the romans do. ie - dress accordingly.

however, wearing a suit in such a situation might be to your advantage as you would certainly stand out. so go with the suit.

bankers are the new rock stars anyway. you see wolf of wall street?

I dunno, the suit could come off as trying to hard.. Unless you make it look like you just left work by pulling the tie loose and unbuttoning some buttons.

It's a rock venue, leave the suit at home.

Go causal.
