Hi guys

Started a new job yesterday and I've been invited to attend an industry awards night this week - 3 course meal, awards given out to industry leaders etc.

It's not my scene and it's not my thing but I've been roped into going - what is acceptable attire?

Looking on photo's of the previous years ceremonies, it's been all suits and tuxedos and it's just not me - I'd sooner blow 200 quid on a leather jacket that I'll get wear out of rather than a suit or tux I'll wear once a year.

Please advise - regretting agreeing to go already

Surely you have a suit? If not, Why not rent one?

What would you wear to a wedding?

Decent slacks and a shirt/tie will prob suffice, its not as if evryone wears their suit jacket constantly, surely?
