Might be able to get away with a suit and a (non-funny) bowtie. Archived Message Posted by osklister on April 25, 2022, 13:32:32, in reply to "Discussed once or 100 times, got invited to a black tie event on Saturday" Black tie: pretty darn formal. White tie: you can expect to see someone like the Queen of England. No chance you get away with a (formal) suit. Tuxedo or regrets.

If you want sleek and elegant get the black 6's* - Taz April 25, 2022, 13:24:44 I like the 4 over the 6* - Sounder April 25, 2022, 13:29:02 I like the 4s, too. But the 6 is like a skin that wraps around your foot and ankle - Taz April 25, 2022, 13:36:14 and we can all agree the 2 was terrible* - Sounder April 25, 2022, 13:52:12 Yeah and the 3. 6 are best, 5 slightly behind, 1 just behind that - Taz April 25, 2022, 14:14:53 ooo - IlliniSax05 April 25, 2022, 13:11:19 Those yours? - Sounder April 25, 2022, 13:14:36 yep. the 11s were my favorite style growing up and I never had a pair - IlliniSax05 April 25, 2022, 13:18:59 I owned a pair of threes in high school, as well as the original one.* - Sounder April 25, 2022, 13:24:14 I had five pairs of Nike Dunks, they were my favorite shoe - Sounder April 25, 2022, 13:23:30 I think they're awesome, but have never owned any. Too expensive for me* - Taz April 25, 2022, 13:25:56 I saw a pair of orange ones at a sneaker shop a few months ago - Sounder April 25, 2022, 13:27:17 I would kill a drifter for a pair of Illini O&B 11s - IlliniSax05 April 25, 2022, 13:29:37 What would Roman Abramovich do?* - Poldark April 25, 2022, 13:02:44 Alright, the Deuce has spoken, let's see if we can expedite this* - reggiedunlop April 25, 2022, 12:55:24 ooo - IlliniSax05 April 25, 2022, 13:02:36 Tux. Always err on the side of over dressed, not under dressed.* - LovetheChief April 25, 2022, 12:52:20 Tux, 98% of the men will be in a tux for a black tie event* - bigbop85 April 25, 2022, 12:50:05 I always assume black tie = tuxedo - IlliniSax05 April 25, 2022, 12:49:14 Me too, but I am hoping things have gotten more casual without me knowing - reggiedunlop April 25, 2022, 12:51:39 blame it all on my roots, I showed up in boots - Sounder April 25, 2022, 12:53:44   Searching
