Default Re: Buying expensive jeans - trip report

[ QUOTE ]
That's missing a point. I wouldn't wear jeans to a black tie-event, but I wouldn't wear a dinner jacket to a trendy club either. If I attend a function where jeans are the best option I will wear the best jeans I can get, the same way I would wear a bespoke suit to a business meeting. These days there are no universal dresscodes, each subculture has it's own. I do wear suits to punk gigs though, but's that's kind of correct too, since I am deliberately objecting the way traditional punk uniform has become exactly that, a uniform and not a way of individualistic expression.

Sidenote: If I had the right to choose, every man would wear a bespoke 3-piece suit in public but since that's impossible in today's "individualistic" world I just try to do the best that I can. I sometimes wear jeans because sometimes that is the correct attire.

Im with ya, but I usually overdress no matter what the event too, so if jeans are acceptable, I probably wont be in jeans.
