You wear:_______________.

A black cocktail dress...but I don’t know if you have the legs for it. 


Seriously though, a tuxedo or a black suit with a black shirt and tie would also be appropriate. You can do a white shirt with the black suit, you’d just need to step up your tie game with that option.

Ha, thanks Bunnie, I definitely do not. Formal usually indicates tuxedo to me but I think what they were going for was semi-formal i.e. black suit.

Wait...

They "kinda" suggest? Man, that means you can rock the Chuck Taylor's and some cutoffs.


If you do wear black though, I would recommend a white shirt and black vest / waistcoat for the California heat. It lets you go away from the tie but still look formal. Plus, you'll stand out almost as much as HomerMyBiscuit in his little black dress.

Whoops! They "kindly" suggest. It's in Mid-Oct and outside of CA, clueless to how hot it will be. I don't normally do black suits but I have one - with very very faint pinstripes. Not entirely sure about that.
