do it all the time. depends on the suit though. there are suits and then there are suits.

i remember when i was 21, i don't want to say i started the trend, but i was one of the first guys down in littler ock that i saw that had the balls to wear a sports jacket with blue jeans, the usher look basically. that was how i dressed at the time. but i put alot of time into studying how he pulled it off and i did it right. high end jeans that fit me and didnt' hang off my ass, and sportsjackets. not suit jackets. was freaking rocking it and got complimented everywhere i went, and pulled ass like none other.

then my best friend at the time decided he wanted to copy cat my look, this mother****er threw on some baggy ass jeans and a freaking 50 dollar chuch suit jacket that he has to get from sears.. i was like dude no you like stupid.

for instance i own 2 tom ford suits, while they are bad ass, they aren't suits you wear to the club.

a club suit should be very fitting, slim, should not give off the square look like alot of business suits do. This is something if you really are going to do it right you need to have a suit made. Everyone should own at least 1 bespoke suit i dont' care how broke you are. save up.

if you are going to wear a tie, it should be a skinny tie with no more than 3' width anything else is going to look like you are going to work or church.

I would never buy a tie from kohls but this color scheme

http://www.kohls.com/upgrade/webstore/product_page.jsp?PRODUCT%3C%3Eprd_id=845524892617454&pfx=pfx_shopcompare&cid=shopping3&mr:trackingCode=63369998-CC2A-DF11-BAA3-0019B9C043EB&mr:referralID=NA


also the colors matter as well. do not wear white. white = work / churchil (okay i'm too much of a horse racing fan lol, I can't type churchi without thinking about churchill downs). Black and red is good.

you throw that tie on with a black with


same goes for dress shirts. should be a "hot" color. brown, red, black , something like that

i'd wear that to a club in a second.


you do NOT wear this to a club

http://www.saksfifthavenue.com/main/ProductDetail.jsp?PRODUCT%3C%3Eprd_id=845524446253339&FOLDER%3C%3Efolder_id=282574492817533&ASSORTMENT%3C%3East_id=1408474395222441&bmUID=1275318002589&ev19=3:2


to go with the tie above this would be a good shirt

i don't care for the buttons all that much but you get the point.

as far as suits most american compaines don't make good club sutis you are going to go overseas. there is a japanese company that makes some bad ass clubbing suits, i can lok the name up if you would like, don't know off the top of my head but they aren't cheap. that or just go to your tailor, a good one and tell him what you are trying to pull off and they can hook you up.

but do not go to dillards and try to take a suit off the rack and wear it ot the club.

Wear your birthday suit.

Seriously though, don't wear a suit, way too formal. Just stick to smart casual - shirt + jeans + dress shoes and you can't go wrong.

never be afraid to be the bestr dressed person in the room. you cannot go wrong. as long as you don't look like a dork youc an;'t go wrong. there is not a such thing as being way too formal

the great thing about this is yeah you probably will catch some slack from some dumbassses, but there will be women there that will say hey i like his style and will be instantly drawn to you, and more than you think.

Yeah, wear this suit
Omighosh, that's Mystery and Style and some other dude, isn't it?
How can anyone look that stupid and still be a successful PUA?
That is just amazing.

As far as Mystery goes, I've always thought that the fact that he is so tall is one thing that helped him pick up girls, and set him apart. For instance, despite the fact that he looks like he just stepped off of the Chorus Line in that picture, his height makes him look dominant. That, and he did thoroughly research his subject, and being a magician was able to PERFORM his routines just like it was a trick. And I think that's what attraction was with Mystery, a trick. I think that's how he looked at it.

Nice tips, Backbreaker.

yeah but the peacocking doesnt have to be THAT extreme, remember that photo was probably taken in LA or Las Vegas.

If i want to peacock, I literally make it as simple as a nice watch or necklace/ beads. My friend however has black armani logo shaped earstuds, and they always draw compliments.

As for the suit, I would go out with a group suited up.. but not on my own because I wouldnt feel comfortable and its not my style. But never the less each to their own, people with style arent generic in how the dress. They dress differently to others, so try it!

Yup Mystery and Style some years ago. Peacocking like that is done just to get attention. They know people look at them and think, WTF is he wearing, he must think he is the shit to wear something that bad."

Nobody needs to peacock that much, especially not those two. Mysterys height certainly got him a lot of attention, but Style was just a normal dude. I think he was 5'6-5'8 and was going bald so he just shaved his head.

Going on with what todays_news said, a nice accessory that makes a man stand out is all that's really needed. You want something that women can ask you about.

A universe...where heartbreak and sadness have bee
I got to talking to a girl who had just graduated from a fashion institute in NY about how guys should dress when out at the bar/club.

She told me the best look, in her opinion, was a button-down colored shirt, preferably a darker color, and a nice pair of jeans...not necessarily designer, but something better than $40.00 Lee Dungarees at Sears.

A tie just seems like overkill at most of the places I go to. Even when I went clubbing in Vegas, the guys who were in suits honestly looked like tourists who just got out of a dorky business conference and hadn't thought to change. I was rocking the simple black slacks with nice shoes and a collared shirt that can go with or without a tie.

I've never really "peacocked" actively. If I do, it's subtle...wearing color combos that most people aren't used to seeing, for example. I'm 6'5, so my height alone provides me some natural "stand-out factor".

I had a roommate who was pretty thin/cut and he used to wear like, sweater-vests with no sleeves in summer. When I was in better shape, I liked tighter-fitting silk T-shirts...the material provides an interesting kinesthetic vibe.

Jewelry...I would keep it simple. ONE piece of jewelry...like Maxtro said, one accent. If you have a nice watch, that's the best way to go. I've been thinking for some time about picking up a Movado just because they're stylish without being over-ornate. Other options would be a gold chain (simple, not the "Mr. T Starter Kit") or maybe some simple diamond stud earrings if you want to give off a more "pimpin'" look.

Make sure your shoes match your belt.

Younger girls, like college-aged, I've picked up at college bars wearing a hooded sweatshirt and not having showered in 2 days. Who the hell knows with those goons. :D

Consider a splash of cologne too...don't underestimate how a decent scent can complement your look. It helps complete the experience for the ladies. You know how you notice instantly if a girl is wearing an interesting scent? It goes both ways...she'll notice that she senses something in your presence that she doesn't around other dudes, but she won't really be able to put her finger on it. ;)

I see the appeal in a nice watch, but to me paying 800 bucks for a watch just seems ridiculous.

you want to wear dress pants, because they are a lot thinner than jeans so you get the better feeling

oh **** you didnt mean STRIP club


I lol at people who always say to have a suit. I have a $300 sport jacket hanging that I wore exactly 0 times. It is too nice to wear to a club, plus too hot. So I might go pick up something for $50 on sale and rock it for casual - my friend has a nice one and it does look good


polos are big for me because you are not super hot and still look good, but sometimes i just wear a t-shirt if it makes the body look good. I have so much designer sh!t i never put on because someoen will spill something or because I don't really care.

a darker color shirts plus pastelle colors are in, green is HUGE right now pastel that is



oh and i wore a sport jacket to a club once and some girls gave compliments but i was SO HOT i didnt care.

What are some examples of this; does that mean, for example, like a nice watch? Or is something more "exotic" required?

The thing about style is there is no real right and no real wrong. Style is alot like Jazz. There are some pretty basic rules that you have to follow, then the rest is up to your preference and your personality. **** I will throw a federoa on and not blink, I wonder what most people would think about that? That's just my personality.

I dress up.. you could say I overdress quite often but that's me. I KNOW I look good when I go out, I don't need a woman's approval to tell me I know how to put it together. Dress for YOU not for her. Whatever your wardrobe might be.

I've seen the full suit rocked in the club and it looked fine. Just make sure it doesn't look like a business suit, otherwise it'll look out of place. I'd probably say to lose the tie unless you have one that makes you look casual. For example an all black silk tie over a black dress shirt sometimes can be OK.
