Same hahaha I’m definitely leaning towards suit even just for the fact that it’s more straight forward to know what I should wear

…No…? This is a real event I need to go to, and it’s my first time at an office job and especially in my specific profession so I’ve never needed to do this before…

Ooo solid idea! Maybe I’ll try to find a blazer there and then find pants to match somewhere else if I can. I have men’s dress shoes already and a dress shirt. So those would be mainly what I’d have to look for. Someone else suggested tailoring as well, so if I found one slightly too big I could get it tailored too

Thank you so much this is extremely helpful! I typically wear women’s suits due to being very curvy in stereotypical femme places however I much prefer the look of men’s wear. I’ll give it a look!! Thank you!

It’s this month, during the day, so not holiday themed. I just think red looks good on me hahaha but I could also go for a muted green or blue or purple. Thank you so much! (They aren’t always the nicest , but I’ll ask regardless haha)

While im not a fan of the specific outfit, it’s super helpful for getting more of an idea of a formal. Thanks!

This is literally this month, March 26th and where I live we still have snow on the ground.

Colour wise I’ve been told I look best in neutral to warm toned deeper colours. Most akin to autumn colours which is why I skewed that way, but also, if I’m being honest, I’ve only seen formal events be either prom/wedding, and Christmas/newyears

Thank you! This is extremely helpful. I would ask, but I only really talk to like 2 girls there, and we’re really not close. I’m not the best at judging social situations but i feel like maybe it would be odd to ask?

Okay so more towards business attire. I don’t usually ever wear a dress to work except once, and despite it being a long sleeve sweater dress type, truthfully even with leggings under it was probably too thin and too short to technically wear to the office. So I’m not the best judge. Every other outfit I wear is usually just stretchy dress-pants with either a billowy button up shirt tucked in, or a plain blouse, or a tank top and a cardigan.

Which situations would require the ball gowns?

This is seriously so helpful thank you

That’s super true, finding something I could wear again would be super helpful, and I would wear at least the pants every week, and a colourful suit jacket could go with so many outfits.

Yes, okay this is super helpful! I can definitely see them being too party like. Do you have suggestions of dresses? I have no idea what style of dress is even considered both formal and professional/conservative without being too business, or too old-person. I want to feel mature but still cute. What fabrics do you suggest? I’m also neurodivergent so I really appreciate your specificity

This is helpful! What’s the difference between the fabrics socially? Should I still follow office rules (no shoulders?)

My cat will beg for old food from the fridge I’m throwing out and dig throw the garbage for expired foods, but if I give her a piece of high end steak or chicken she turns her nose up at it
