wearin' like a pimp?

[Jay-X]

this saturday, a friend of mine (she's a girl) will have a dinner party for her 18th birthday and she has invited me and some other people at the restaurant. i'm thinkin' about dressin' less casual than usually... i mean, everybody will wear jeans and t-shirt, maybe someone will have a shirt... but i wanna look different.
what about fashionable baggy blue jeans, silver sneakers and a white jacket (reeeeeeeeally similar to the one usher wears in yeah's video), over a black tank top?
it's almost exactly the way usher wore, so it's not REALLY original, but i've ever wanted to dress like that... do you think it'd be good?

answer!

IMO, yea its nice to look different than everyone else, but at the same time you got to have your own style. If I were you, I would go a step above everyone else. Don't make yourself stick out because you are even more under-dressed than everyone else.

I say dress up more than down. You will still get noticed and it will be for how well put together you look, not because you look out of place. I could have the coolest shirt/tie combo ever, but if everyone else is in suits or sportcoats, I will not look good. Stand out by being better, not worse.


Im also thinking this is an anything else.

i think u r right, but, as i said, other guys won't be wearin' anything dressy... they all are gonna wear jeans and t-shirts, so a white blazer would be above everyone else... wouldn't it?

this is something like i wear out. its dressier than what most people wear but at the same time not TOO dressy.add those reccomended jeans, a black belt and a stylish watch and you're golden.

Jay - I don't listen to usher so I don't know what his jacket looks like, but I had assumed it was a track jacket, not a blazer style.

Even still, I think it should look nice. You are correct to that it would be a step above eveyone, not lower.

That is a nice shirt in the link Recluce posted. I am more of a jeans and t-shirt skateboarding kind of guy than a prep, so I try to avoid dressing like them. I find it hard to "dress up" and keep a style of my own without looking preppy. I went to the casino the other night, jeans blue dress shirt, and doc martins. Decent outfit.
