Thread: What should a gentleman wear if he is accompanying me to a Burlesque night?

Mine won't go to a burlesque night either :-( the way I look at it is it's more fun for us ladies, that way! X

Miss PussyCat - tell your son that he has excellent dress sense. What a Gent! I certainly have plenty of ideas - Thanks everyone x

I will do. He is a real gent doffing his hat for ladies.

Ah, looks like I'm set.

I have a nice topper and suit as it is and a lovely new brocade waistcoat on the way.
Might get a new cravat too...

It's going to be our second time going to a burlesque night tomorrow.. the 1st time my partner wore a suit.. this time he has bought me a proper corset so I can also dress up. We're both really looking forward to it

Love your style!

My boyfriend sometimes goes for a look similar to this. He has as many hats as i have shoes!

If I'm going for a particularly dapper look it will be dinner jacket or tails, bow tie and most definately a top hat.

At my most casual (but attending a burpesque event) it's still usually shirt, suit and waitscoat. Necktie, bow tie or cravat optional. Actual casual for me is combats and a heavy metal t-shirt, but I enjoy getting dressed to impress!

I'm comfortable with what I wear. If I wasn't I would wear something else instead! I think it's important to be comfortable when you're meant to be enjoying yourself but a burlesque event is the perfect excuse for a gentleman to experiment, to dabble in dapperness!

And they can always blame it on the missus! They might fool themselves, but we'll know they're loving it!
