Thanks to a kind of social code, we decide in our daily lives and for special events what kind of clothing we wear. That clothing is then appropriate for the situation according to certain rules. These kinds of clothing regulations can come about in various ways. A target group for which clothing regulations and occasion clothing are a must are, are students. GENTS has a special bond with students. That is why this time we discuss occasion clothing for students!

A dress code, or clothing regulation, is a specific rule that indicates what is expected of you in terms of clothing. The vast majority of these regulations are culturally determined. This means that the exact dress code can vary by country. Even within one culture, subcultures can be found that may have their own interpretation of the well-known clothing regulations. An example of such a subculture is the student world. Occasion clothing for students often has its own variation on the general dress code. Moreover, the regulations for occasion clothing for students can also differ by city or even by association. Fortunately, there are a number of dress codes for occasion clothing for students that apply everywhere.

Formal suits

Students regularly organize all kinds of events. Beer parties, fancy galas, and exuberant dinners are normal for almost every self-respecting student association. As a result, there is a good chance that at some point you are expected to appear in formal attire. Occasional clothing for students is therefore part of it. Generally, the tuxedo is very popular as occasional clothing for students. As soon as you see “black tie” on an invitation, you know that a tuxedo is desired. Besides the tuxedo, the tailcoat suit is also often specified as occasional clothing for students. The dress code for this formal suit is the opposite of black tie, namely “white tie”. 

GENTS Students

Formal suits can be quite expensive. Especially for the average student, a tuxedo or tailcoat suit is a costly joke. Not at GENTS. We ourselves once started from a student room somewhere in the city. That is why GENTS has always had a good relationship with students. Among other things, we take into account the price of occasional clothing for students. Therefore, in our webshop, you will also find a separate category ‘Students’. There you will find occasional clothing for students and everything that goes with it. Think of gala clothing, special ties and of course pub jackets.

Pub jackets as occasional clothing for students

Often, within the student association, dress codes apply not only for special events. Usually, there are also various rules for the clothing you wear while going out. For many student associations, it is natural that you wear at least a blazer. The downside is that your neat jacket no longer looks so stylish at the end of the night. That is why there is an alternative available especially as occasional clothing for students at GENTS: pub jacketsThese are cheap blazers that are ideal for students. For a few tens of euros, you can already score such a pub jacket. The favorable price makes it much less annoying if your jacket is dirty or maybe even broken after a night out. After all, you can just buy a new one again at GENTS!
