i have my pictures taken today for the paper, ad i have a tie on but i have gained a stone or so since summer and none of my suit jackets fit, this does not bode well, before work i shall go down to the shops and purchase another suit. Not all of suits are too small but some of them are off to the tailors and others are in the wash. i had half a dozen now i hve four . Anyhow , anyone wish to advise me on semi formal day ware .

get it off

nah, ties are ok - i have an andy warhol's marilyn tie for formal occasions - just make sure the knot is a decent size - you don't want to chock, and small knots look dicky.

and NEVER wear white socks with black shoes.

Please don't wear white socks at all, unless you are playing sport.

Suits in discrete dark colours, with perhaps a subtle stripe, are perfect. Though it is important that they are well fitting or slightly too big rather than tight. The legs of the pants should be long enough that no one can see your socks. But don't wear white ones just in case.

Eeww no Isadora to big suit = boyz 2 men.But ill fitting to small suits with leg gap showing = Christchurch noise pussy. Whats your tie like anthony? I think scarves are dashing.

So are you implying that Chch noise pussy is what every woman wants? I cannot be having with ill-fitting clothes. I was thinking of gent's suiting ala 1920s. Thus the silk scarf worn under the collar of an overcoat fits right in. tho probably boysIImen does that too, I am not up with their styles

How dare you Isadora! You know I despise an ill fitting suit, esp on a chch.n.p, as much as the next woman. How about a nice 1920s ladies beaded collar? Suit you Isadora.

Christchurch noise pussy? Help us out here.

yes and to further distinguish yourself from christchurch noise pussies, don't wear a black suit. well at least not when christchurch boys are in town.

i prefer the brighter suits probably. i remember one of the ladyfolk i had a crush on at the time had a baby blue suit that i found very fetching. (is there any difference between 'powder' blue and 'baby' blue?).

my mum told me not to wear tops with draw-strings, like that come out from hoods, because someone got strangulated to death when they got caught in the bus doors. so maybe if you are wearing a tie or a scarf or a drawstring hood you might want to avoid automatic doors. BUT did you know, last year in Dunedin, a woman strangled to death by her cardigan when she was doing the gardening.

"a woman in Dunedin was stangled to death by her own cardigan when she was doing the gardening"

I have had a premonition of my own death. Suits will be mandatory at the funeral.

Ties help the neck feel important

I bought a black pinstripe suit , the pinstripes are pink.

A black roll neck jumper hides a multitude of sins.
