#1748 – Fancy

Occasionally we will go to a relative’s house for dinner. This is when I have to go into the closet for one of my “good” shirts. Perhaps something with buttons and long sleeves. These dinners are rare enough that I have accidentally worn the same shirt twice in a row. I didn’t notice until looking at pictures after the fact.

I haven’t ever been to a fancy dinner party where you’re required to wear a tie or so. I guess I would look weird with a tie, because all my shirts are black T-shirts with some heavy metal band (or similar motives) on them. Also, I would probably choose a weird, silly-looking tie (not even on purpose!), something like the ties that Jon Arbuckle would wear.
Never could wear regular ties. But, as a Kiowa, I have a couple of nice “Ribbon Shirts” that look good with a bolo.
I hate formal wear, it’s always such a hassle to go to the bathroom.
I think if you set aside the uncomfortable social situations that inevitably are linked to their wearings, I find the occasional suit-n-tie to be a pleasant display. You instantly look more professional, like you know what you’re doing.
But I’m sure needing one for work would obliterate that sense of novelty in a hurry.
I wish I was friends with you because I’ll bet that’s the kind of suit I would need to wear to one of your parties.
