So my wife and I will be going to a gala for her school some time next month. The theme is masquerade and the attire says formal. I don’t have a suit and don’t intend to spend money on one as I have no use case for it outside of this event. Would not be money well spent. I was thinking a blazer or sport coat would work if done right. I currently have navy and khaki slacks, white or light pink OCBD, a grey sports coat, and brown dress shoes or dark brown cowboy boots which I’ll much prefer to dress shoes.
Should I get a different color sports coat or a new blazer? Different color pants? I would have a use case for these items outside of the gala so I’m not against spending some money on new clothes. I’m probably overthinking it some too as I’ll ditch the coat early and most people will also not be in suits either. Maybe I’m wrong but it’s a gala to raise money for the school, not the met gala so I likely won’t be sticking out like a sore thumb if not in a suit or tux
