Club Attire - In specific: Suits

[Partys2Hard]

Now I don't go clubbing often but when I do it's typically nice dress shoes, dark jeans, and a clean dress shirt (or may be stylish t-shirt). Pretty simple, may toss on a jacket depending on the climate, etc.

However, with my first trip to Vegas as well as celebrating a few Birthdays in the city, I thought I'd dress a little nicer for the occasion.

So suits came to mind. Now I'm not referring to the "I look like I got out of my stock firm meeting" type of suit. I'm talking about more casual suits, with a range of colors from navy all the way to beige/white. Granted, it will still be a suit at the end of the day.

For Vegas club veterans, what do you recommend in this regard? Is it "over-dressed?" Do the ladies find it anymore appealing (lol) ?

I guess what I"m trying to do is to stick out but not "stick out like a sore thumb." I'm the shortest guy in a large group of handsome guys, and its a dog-eat-dog world out there haha. Your "fashion advice" is appreciated.

p.s. in all likelihood we'll be at Tao for the occasion.

IMO you'd be fine. I think the fact that you're celebrating an event justifies the suit, especially if the rest of your party participates. I wouldnt go full suit though...I'd take either the jacket or vest...too hot for both.

I also think its better to stick out for being well dressed versus sticking out for looking like a bum...thats a guys opinion though..I'll let the ladies give theirs.

If one were to wear a jacket, would they need to have a dress shirt underneath?

I'd imagine the jacket would be more reason to sweat than the pants would be, no? I was thinking of a matching two piece jacket & pants with a nice dress shirt underneath. No tie, maybe top button open, almost "Miami" style if that makes any sense?

Thanks for the advice...others want to chime in ?

I thought pants would be automatic..I was suggesting eliminating some of the top peices.

From your second post...Check out spyonvegas.com / Napkinnights.com.....you'll see a lot of people dressed that way.

I wear suits normally when it's colder.

I like wearing them in Las Vegas, but it depends on the situation. I just found that a lot of people thought I was a club host (Where is the bathroom?, etc.) or that I looked too stiff.

There was one jackass I met that was local that thought I was trying too hard (I think he was a fake local, meaning that he probably came from another state to work at the pools for the summer).

It's to celebrate a birthday though. That's an occasion in itself and if you want to wear it, go for it!

I think you'll look like a host. But you wouldn't be terribly out of place and if you look good and feel good, why not?

I just got back from vegas, did mostly industry nights at XS, etc. I go to vegas about once every other month(i'm closeby in san diego).

My opinion is, just like SoCal, suits in vegas tend to be overdressing for the NIGHT CLUBS, and that's not a good thing.

Especially if you want to mingle on the dance floor, which ultimately is where the action is. Slacks and a dress shirt, or my favorite, the nice jeans+shirt+blazer combination(I finish with dress boots), or something around there.

Suits aren't necessarily too HOT, but they do make you look like a club employee and they often come across a bit try-hard. For the ritzier gambling spots, lounges, and restaurants, suits are great, especially summer colors.

Theres plenty of ways to not look like a host! Go with a bright shirt color or tie that stands out. Add more accessories to your game, pocket squares ..tie bars.. a bad ass watch.

Another good look is the collared shirt, tie and vest slacks look.. Some people can pull off the Gordon Gecko suspenders look too.

From your second post...Check out spyonvegas.com / Napkinnights.com.....you'll see a lot of people dressed that way.

I notice most of the guys found in these photos are dressed rather "typical," of the night life scene. It's almost like guys aren't required to be a little extra creative or fashionable. Jeans, and a stylish top, boom thats it. Most of them wear very dark colors too. I suppose it was another night out for them. For me its a special occasion. So I'll have to bite the bullet and go for a bold look and hope it doesn't outdress (or embarrass) my comrades lmao
