Oh no sorry, it's not those proms, balls or dinners or whatever, it's basically a cultural night organised by the international students, and tickets are only going for rm15 so I'm sure you can tell it's not a formal event. In fact I expect to see t-shirt and jeans haha.

And no it's not from Padini, it's a g2000 blu shirt. It's mostly black, the stripes are very fine, in fact I only realised just now that there are actually green stripes on it even though I've already worn the shirt once. I'm not really a fan of those 'obvious' kinda stripes, if you get what I mean.

Thanks for the help guys!

well then i think go for the sneakers, avoid those patent leather plastic looking dress shoes.. if you want to wear dress shoes go for real ones which you actually have to put in effort to shine them..

I'm 99% sure there is no dress code, and like I said I expect to see someone turn up in t shirt and jeans, maybe even t-shirt and shorts, oh well.

I have quite limited knowledge in this, so what's the difference between the pants you mentioned and the formal slacks? I'm someone who hardly wear pants, I go to uni in jeans everyday, so I don't think I'm gonna spend money on pair of pants that are more suited for casual, instead I'll probably spend on a pair of pants that can be worn for both casual and formal.

But please explain about the pants if you don't mind.

Cotton pants, also called chinos or khakis are very commonly seen and they are definitely versatile for being casual wear and formal wear depending on how you dress up and dress down with the other garments in your assemble. To be safe in the formal category, get dark coloured chino like black, dark brown or navy, depending on the colour of your top. Also, if possible, try to get slim fit ones so you'll look more youthful in it. You should be able to get one from Padini for around RM40 during sales. The three long pants that any man must have are jeans, formal slacks and chinos.

the difference that Fusion[eX] was mentioning about chinos and formal dress pants are mainly on the material used, chinos are made primarily from cotton, where else dress pants are from materials such as polyester, wool, etc. chinos are usually khakis in color and are also referred as khakis, they are more smart casual compared to dress pants which feel more formal (but of course you can dress it down for casual use as well)..

Thanks for mentioning the differences, jin I left them out earlier in my post.

Definitely, dress it down with a polo tee and sneakers for a casual look. Dress it up with button down long sleeves and loafers or dress shoes for smart casual look.

Great fit. Although I think the jacket would look nicer with brown buttons instead of black. The contrast of beige and black is just too high.

Hey jind, your white jacket looks sweet!

However, I feel that the pink tie kinda ruined the look though.
