Create an image quickly, easily and 100% efficiently
The nightclub website and social media is the best source of bow ideas. Photo reports of events will tell you how to dress and behave in the institution. Thus, you will not only not stand out inappropriately, but also 100% avoid problems with face-control at the entrance.
If you can't find the site and social networks, or you have not yet decided on the choice of an institution, focus on the purpose of visits.
What to go to the club for a theme party
If you have a themed party, such as a Helloween party, you should dress accordingly. Make inquiries before going to the club. Photo reports of similar events will help – any that you can find. The general style of the bow for themed events in different establishments is similar.
Themed party – space for creativity in creating a kit
What to go to a club to make new acquaintances
If the goal of visiting the club is new acquaintances, it is necessary to exclude eccentricity and any excess from the bow. You must be: individual, but not weird; funny, but not funny; well-groomed, but not 'sleek'; dressed stylishly but not fashionable.
A safe bet – classic smartcasual in soothing colors:
- jacket + monochrome or printed T-shirt + denim trousers + derby or monkstraps shoes;
- jacket + monochrome or printed T-shirt + chinos + brogues, oxford or loafer shoes.
You can use a cardigan instead of a jacket. T-shirt prints and lettering shouldn't be provocative. A neutral drawing or a phrase with good humor will do. The image should make a good impression at the first eye contact and quickly fade from memory if the acquaintance fails this time.

Where to go to the club to 'come off' properly
It's hot in the clubs, and alcoholic drinks and active movements only emphasize this feature. Therefore, the kit must comply with the following rules:
- does not restrict movement;
- do not mind if it gets dirty or damaged;
- not hot, but not cold either;
- the color hides, rather than emphasizes, sweat stains (if any).
The best choice in 2019 will be smartcasual, in which you can add a little more personality compared to the previous paragraph. Take a closer look at the following combinations of clothing, materials and colors:
- jacket in dark colors + oxford shirt + chinos + classic shoes with lacing, oxford, brogues, monkstraps or loafer;
- jacket in dark gray shades + monochrome or printed T-shirt + chinos + monkstraps or derby shoes;
- unbuttoned shirt + monochrome or printed T-shirt + dark denim trousers + monkstraps shoes;
- vest of dark shades + shirt + dark denim trousers + black shoes-helsea;
- jacket made of gray wool + denim trousers (can be torn or frayed) + black derby shoes;
- jacket and T-shirt in monochrome dark shades + denim trousers in blue or blue + black brogues shoes;
- jacket with a horizontal stripe in navy shades + navy blue denim trousers + dark red brogues shoes.
If you want to bring provocation to the image without going beyond what is permitted, you can use the following combination: a dark purple jacket + dark chinos + black loafer shoes. The jacket can also be replaced with a cardigan.

What clothes to wear to the club to spend an evening with friends
For a measured evening that does not imply active movements or heavy drinking in the company of friends, both smartcasual and classic style are suitable. The latter is especially convenient if you are going to the club immediately after work.
- classic two-piece suit + oxford or other shirt + classic shoes with lacing;
- classic three-piece suit + oxford or other shirt + classic shoes with lacing, oxfords, brogues, monks or loafers.
The shirt should be tucked in, unless the cut suggests otherwise. You can add a little casual casualness to the classic look by undoing a couple of top buttons.

What accessories to choose to diversify the club image
When it comes to clubbing, personalize your look with accessories, not eccentric clothes or pints. They will successfully complement the club image:
- a pocket square for a jacket;
- men's suspenders – only for a classic look;
- a wrist or pocket watch – the latter is also only for a classic look;
- laconic bracelet and chain;
- ties and bow ties;
- Sunglasses.
You do not need to wear glasses. It is enough to wear them in plain sight – in a breast pocket or hanging by the bow from the collar or from a pocket. A wooden wristwatch is the perfect accessory to add an unusual accent to a club look without overdoing it with personality.
Pocket watch – a graceful and extraordinary accent in a classic look
Chains and bracelets can be jewelry, but they should not be massive. Otherwise, it will create an unnecessarily 'heavy' accent for a relaxed atmosphere. However, large men should not wear thin jewelry – in this case, it is better to give preference to natural or artistic jewelry, for example, an anchor bracelet and the like.
What is not worth going to the club
Do not use white or black as the main colors for the kit. On white, any stain will be clearly visible until the end of the evening. Black looks gloomy in the already dark lighting and does not dispose to communication and acquaintance. Wear black clothes only for an evening with friends or if the color is very good. Colors will suit exactly: gray, blue, blue, beige, dark red, burgundy, khaki.
Do not wear solid white and black colors
Do not wear sports shoes or clothing if we are talking about the club, and not about the disco in the area. The sports style will not miss face control, and if you succeed, you will look like a black sheep, and you can forget about pleasant acquaintances. An exception is themed events, where sportswear may be appropriate.
You should not wear a hat if you are not 100% sure that there is no taboo on headwear in the club. Otherwise, you will not pass the face control, and the evening will be ruined. Wear branded things only in top clubs – there is a high risk of damage to things as a result of overturning alcohol, contact with other people, etc.
Tracksuit in the club is taboo, hat can be banned
Perfume should not irritate others. For a visit to the club, give preference to the most fresh and unobtrusive aromas. And, of course, the appearance should be neat, nails – clean and trimmed, shoes – polished, clothes – ironed.
What to go to the club – briefly about the main thing
