Thread: Debate dress code?

  1. #1

    Debate dress code?

    I'm assuming business pants and shirt are sufficient, or do I need to buy a tie and a leisure suit?
    Been a long time....

    I'd either go with either dress pants and a shirt with dress shoes (POLISHED), or some nice blue jeans, dress shoes (again, POLISHED), shirt (tucked in) and navy blazer (single breasted, two buttons...we're not in the 80's) or a sport coat would be fine.

    A suit would be perfect though, but it's not for everyone


    Any man who doesn't own at least one pair of good shoes (preferably leather soled), a suit and a sport coat/blazer needs to go buy them NOW

    People still have leisure suits?
    Genuine, willful, aggressive ignorance is the one sure way to tick me off. I wish I could say you were trolling. I know better, and it's just sad.

    I'd say something like these pictures would be good for going to the debates:


    Dress pants and a shirt:



    Jeans and a blazer (but shirt tucked in):


    Suit (bow tie, or any tie, optional):


    Shoes:
    or


    That's just my opinion, I live in Europe and I'm quite formal myself, so I don't know what is "normal" fashionwise in the States anymore

    Im going with slacks, a dress shirt and tie.

    I don't want to give ANYONE ANY REASON to claim that Paul supporters look and/or act unprofessional. They may still claim it anyway but at least Ill know they are lying. And don't wear anything that says who you support on it. Don't give them a reason to try to keep you out! The GOP has done it before!

    To be honest, I actually make a statement with my shoes. I wear Doc Martins every day with my full-on suit and tie.

Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand?... The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt! If...if...We didn't love freedom enough. And even more – we had no awareness of the real situation.... We purely and simply deserved everything that happened afterward.” ― Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn

    Get comfortable in your shoes, and slacks are a good choice compared to a skirt. You'll be doing a lot of walking, and hopefully a lot of standing and cheering for Dr. Paul Don't want a skirt that you have to smooth down over and over or, worse yet, that puts your thighs in contact with some nasty seat in an auditorium.

    You'll see a lot of people in ugly Hillary Clinton style suits. Don't go there. It's not a good look... for anyone.

    No idea why you say that. The debate crowd is usually pretty conservatively dressed, in high-end business function attire.

    I'd recommend dress shirt and pants. A tie is prolly overkill IMO.


    Edit: ok I see the ties in melissas pic now

    as a hippie this whole thread is scary I would look into buying some clothes from calvin klein. they have very good business casual that can be used to go out in and is not as stuffy as the box suit!!

    I was kidding. If you look above you will see that I changed my immature smart ass comment. You must have responded very very quickly. I think it is great that everyone wants to look sharp and professional.

    No prob. I figured you were either being snarky or ... I dunno ... that maybe I had misunderstood you.

    I am a little troubled by the purple zombie hue of the top photo, but I guess it gets the point across.

    Dress nicely, but look less dead.
