You can even retire the pull (spelling ?) but i don't know how the weather is like in Alaska, so that could be kinda weird to not wear it. But definitely not a suit with this jean. Hell no. I don't think its retarded. The fit of the clothes is spot on and looks elegant though a bit stuffy. By suit, do you mean blazer or jacket? As a 20 year old, dont wear a full suit if it is a casual date. Also, do not wear slacks with mismatched blazer, only older gentlemen can pull off that look. A slim dark pair of jeans (just realized you have to wear slacks) with a darker dress shirt (not black). You can wear a tie only if it is relatively slim and not a business tie thats like 4" wide. | ||

Besides, the girls you two are going out with do not seem to know what to wear either. As such, even if you end up making what would normally be an akward choice, they will probably be a little more forgiving about it. | ||

No one here, except those really into restaurants/critics/etc is fit to judge how "nice" it is. There's a difference between Michelin stars and diamonds. | ||

Second think about what they would like to see you wear. What type of women are they? Would they prefer that washed pair of jeans or maybe a suit? I generally go with high end dark jeans, dress shirt and blazer, its casual but still dressed up and stylish. But like I said find out what they want. Third think about your shoes. If you don't own a decent pair of dress shoes buy them. If you decide on a relaxed look, get a really nice pair of leather sneakers to go with it, and for God's sake don't use them for everyday wear, they will only look decent like 5-10 times. Make them count. Best of luck! | ||

I checked my closet and I do have a pair of dress pants, but they don't fit as well as a good pair of jeans, and also have one of those stretchable waist bands, so I'm not sure if I should go with those, or with the jeans. As far as the restaurant goes, I've been doing whatever research I can. The attire is listed as business casual, so I should be fine without a tie. On review sites, they say there isn't a very strict dress code, but most of the comments were from 2006/7, so they might have gotten a bit stricter since then. I'll just see how the slacks look on me, and only go to the jeans if absolutely necessary. As a side note, I'm a bit excited, the restaurant is a steakhouse called N9NE, and it's apparently a bit of a celebrity hangout (not that I care much). N9NE is great, you have good taste--but it's best with a large group. In that case, you have more wiggle room, as the general rule is that while two sloppy people will stand out in a restaurant, ten casual (but not too casual) people will fit right by virtue of numbers. As for the reason that N9NE is great with a large group, it's because the menu has a lot of expensive items that lend themselves to sharing. Try the caviar or the filet--you can't go wrong and the N9NE guys in Chicago were absolutely fantastic. Me and this other analyst on my floor used to go there all the time when we were working in Chicago (but back then we could expense the dinners lol.) | ||

I went to Jean Georges in jeans (nice jeans, but still jeans); and Jean Georges is a 5-diamond restaurant. | ||

There's a difference between Michelin stars and diamonds. rated by AAA, not that prestigious. Zagat and Michelin are arguably the authorities of restaurant reviews/ratings. A Michelin 3 star is probably more prestigious than a 5-diamond. | ||

But seriously Manifestos advice is the best so far. Stay away from jeans. And wear a nice shirt and a some slacks, and nice shoes. No tie required no jacket required. (unless restaurant says otherwise) | ||

For pants I just wear some nice jeans, and for my shoes I just wear my Chuck Taylors (black) . | ||
