Newfag here.
I need something semi formal for a function at my college, I'm thinking of wearing beige chinos, a casual navy blue tweed blazer, a white shirt and dark brown leather shoes. Would a bow tie look alright?
Does this seem okay?

thats a nice ass
>>12141089
very nice indeed

its not like there's an issue with the garments you named. the way they fit your body is what's important
>>12140812
bow tie might make you look a bit pretentious, you'll have to be attractive if you want to pull the bow tie off.
>>12140812
that is fantastic
who is the model?

Sorry but no idea, reverse image search maybe?
>>12142088
Yeah they're tailored
>>12142424
Might not work then. Any alternatives?
>>12140812
interesting butt
>>12140812
you can ditch the blazer, if by semi-formal you mean smart casual or business casual.
Chinos don't work above that.

Can't ditch the blazer.

Semi formal and black tie are the same thing. This scale is way off.
dont wear a bow tie you fag
>>12143418
Give me a fucking alternative then you snobby faggot
>>12143422
there is no alternative you stupid fucking man child
if you dont need a tie then dont wear anything around your neck. wearing a bowtie outside of black/white tie events is nu-male behaviour.
>>12143428
Well I need fucking something, and that's why I'm asking you faggot, a tie? A scarf? A cravat? A dog collar? I don't know.

>Well I need fucking something
no you dont
just a shirt and blazer is perfectly normal and acceptable for a semi-formal event
>>12143440
*I, personally want something
Is that better, retard?
>>12143437
You don't, unless the event dress code mentions it, or you want to make an impression - but then you should be more formal with all your ensemble
>>12143443
then wear a damn tie
why even make the fucking thread if youve already made your mind up
also
>asking for advice
>getting pissed off when you get it
leave this board and flagellate yourself

Btw, this semi formal thing...it's semi formal as in the parlance, or actually technically semi?
Technically semi is black tie, you'll have to tux up, what kind of college does that?
>>12140812
full rick

I asked for a very specific kind of advice, also I don't think I could put across what I really wanted

It's a farewell event for the final year students thrown by us(students one year junior to them)
The final year students usually wear formals, we wear whatever we like desu, some wear ethnic, some even go in tux and shit, I just want to keep it balanced, don't wanna dress up too much but still want to seem sharp
