<p>What are some ideas for formal apparel for guys? Is it ok to wear black pants with dress shirts (like the suit kind), without a blazer? I’m just totally lost, and I need to dress up for something in a couple of hours.</p>
<p>Formal means dark suit or tux. Don’t go without a jacket.</p>
<p>^ agreed. You rather be overdressed than be underdressed. The way you want to dress is more semi-formal.</p>
