Downside: Ticket fees and potentially clothes shopping.
I'm looking at attending one next month, proceeds are going to local LGBT youth programs, but goddamn. Minimum $35 to get in, $50 if you want VIP, and looking through my wardrobe, I have nothing to wear that qualifies for a black tie event. I'm currently maxing out at "high-middle class restaurant" attire.
New-ish jeans/khakis and a collared shirt are the best anyone's getting out of me. I last wore a suit in 2011, to a job interview. I'm done with the wardrobe games.
You're the guy I always low-key feel sorry for at formal events and other dress ups.
"Poor feller looks so out of place. Must not have had a father to teach him how to dress. Maybe he thinks it's expensive? I could outfit him for $100 and he'd look like a million bucks."
If you wish your fashion to express, "don't give two fucks", you do you. I actually enjoy looking nice. (That was a Halloween party, couldn't think of anything to go as but Tony Stark.)
Still, better than the guy who's obviously uncomfortable in his ill-fitting, never worn suit. I feel for them as well.
You're assuming they actually go to events where wearing a suit is expected, which for many is exceptionally rare.
