"Dresscode" for the Festival???

I can't believe this thread is still going on. It's gotten kinda wondrous.

The answer, always, should be: wear whatever you want that won't get you kicked out. People can tell when you're uncomfortable in your own skin, and trying to roleplay some part by dressing up does exactly that. So be comfortable. Me, I'm comfortable in a suit that looks like it's out of There Will Be Blood. Maybe it makes me look silly. I don't really care. Like Jack said, I'll be really surprised if there's any big-time Hollywood deals being made. I've been to lots of these "industry screenings" and there's rarely business being done, honestly. Have fun. Meet some people. It's worth more in the long run anyway.

I wonder if assless chaps would go with my suit.

Exactly. Have fun, mingle, drink, eat. I wouldn't be carrying my script around in my back pocket. This event should not be looked at as a launchpad for your career. If it is, you'll be really dissappointed.
 
plus, It doesn't matter what you wear, just as long as you are there!

...A nice suit would work I am sure Nick. Though I would maybe go with a more trendy shirt and tie if that's what you are considering. You can defenitely add some accented color to the combination and make a pretty nifty get-up. The sport coat can help with that image as well and also draw more attention to the shirt. But it sounds as if you are going without. Either way, I am sure you will be fine.

...

To nick, the wash isn't all that matters to make it work. I am a fan of medium to darker washes, I would tend to stay away from the solid color carpenter jeans. You can take a look at some of the designers I mentioned to get a better idea...

I have a strict anti-tie policy, I avoid them at all costs. I am definitly leaving the jacket at home, just a nice button up and the jeans I bought today for 35 bucks. I'll be happy, and so the rest of you will have to be as well! Bwahahahaha! (For the record, I cannot believe I am participating in talk about clothes, etc...)

Jack, nice post, you covered writer directors but, like Tommy said, what about actors. Sure I am a write but at this point/event I am going for a more neutral writer/actor or more likely actor/writer. Ahhh...nevermind. I feel stupid talking like I am actually worried about clothing choices. I already know what I'm wearing. [/conversation]
 
Haha, changing fashion isn't death to your self image. It is more of an adaptation of your current style, and you shift slowly from there until you find a place you like.

I have no issue talking clothes. Some people hate me for it. You should see me watching Project Runway...it's hysterical. Ties aren't for everyone. Good thing you are in the film industry and ties are generally not needed. :)

Gage, good to see there is another guy I can talk fashion with. Makes me feel less...alienated.
 
We need thoughts here. So I went out and got me a new pair of black slacks and a pinstripe black dress shirt, a nice outfit. So I give Ken the heads up that its a nice event (we're both high tech, so he's just as likely to show up in shorts, socks and sandals :) and he tells me that its okay, he has black slacks and a pinstripe shirt. I realize that, regardless of how my wife feels, Ken and I would be one cute matching couple on Friday night unless someone changes. Ken only owns one dress shirt that he bought a year ago, so he needs opinions about what type of new shirt he should buy.
 
If you have an Express Men, just go in and approach the closest sales girl and say that you need a shirt for a party in Hollywood for the premiere of your film.

She'll hook you up with a shirt, AND you'll have a date when you get back from LaLaLand.

Oh dude, that is genius, and Ken does need to stop importing desperate Russians for two year 'mini marriages'

Omg, that IS genius! After reading Jack's post, I was just gonna say screw it and wear jeans and a t-shirt (that's how I roll), but now I have date potential!

I've worked in the tech industry for 13 years (started in high school) and have always only owned one pair of dress clothes. For interviews and weddings. There was a dry spell of interviews and weddings for awhile, so last summer I had my then girlfriend help me pick out a nice shirt at Express. The black pinstripe one! Which Shawn copied. I thought since I had my shirt first, he should be the one to choose something else. After all, I only have one shirt to choose from.

And I'm now torn between laziness and comfort (jeans and t-shirt) and desparate metro (jeans and Express shirt from hot sales girl). What do I do?!

That's a no-****ing-brainer! Anytime one of your options includes "hot...girl" you OBVIOUSLY take that one. This is a genius plan, by the way, Gage. Next time I may have to check into that myself. God knows I need it...

Really? You have to think about that?

I'm somewhat of a savant in this area. It works best when you hurry into the Express at Hollywood and Highland looking for something to wear, "price no object", for the Playboy Golf Tourn. Party at the mansion in an hour.

K, so far I'm going with jeans from American Eagle, shirt from Express. Where do you get shoes and what kind? I have some neato matte black Skecher ones from about 8 years ago. I think they'll work with those jeans?
 
You're overthinking this Ken. If you need/want to buy some, we can always hit Melrose after the airport.

Whatever you do, DONT wear these Sketchers:

A friend just got them and thinks they look good. No. They do not. He got laughed out of his own July 4th party.
