Dinner is nicer to see boys wear long pants though I don't think dress pants are required on casual nights...........a clean pair of khakis or and a collared polo shirt or tropical print. On formal nights I have seen everything. Suits and tuxes are great if you can afford them as they grow so fast, but I have found I can pick up a lovely pair of dress pants, matching shirt, tie and vest cheaply at Sears and he looks like dynamite...and from what I saw, fits in very well as several didn't bother at all and that spoils the specialness of the evening. Mine is 10 so I usually only get one wear out of dressing up so you may not want to spend much.Not so sure about the 16 year old whether the vest outfit would be enough, but perhaps he would get enough use of the jacket for formal night and job interviews etc. to make it a more worthwhile investment?Post Edited (02-24-04 13:29)
