Yea urm.. I've got an event coming up and it'll be my first time wearing a suit(I know...) I got the jacket/w.e you call it and my trouser and a tie. But I'm baffled on what you wear under it?

If you don't mind me asking, what event is it? I usually wear a grey, long sleeved shirt (as infrequent described) with my jacket, or a white dinner shirt if it's for meals, etc.

Depends on the occasion :)

It's Business Oppurtinues and Seminar Skills (BOSS Day) at school. Where employee/ers come and talk to us. I don't not much about it.

I don't know if a white shirt will look good with a dark suit.

You would wear a white shirt or a plain shirt in the color of your choice. I wear boxer-briefs under a suit as well.

OK seriously. Wear a white shirt and any tie you want. I probably wouldn't go for a black tie otherwise you'll look like you're going to a funeral or on the set of Reservoir Dogs. Just pick a nice colour you like

I've worn a tie MANY times. I just don't know how to do it or I simply forget how to do it.
