Occasion wear for students

Thanks to a kind of social code, we decide in our everyday lives and for special events what clothes to wear. After all, according to certain rules, that clothing is appropriate for the occasion. Dress codes like these can come about in various ways. One group for whom dress codes and occasion wear are a must is students. GENTS has a special bond with students. That is why this time we are discussing occasion wear for students!

A dress code is a rule that indicates what is expected of you when it comes to clothing. The vast majority of these rules are culturally determined. That means the exact dress code can differ from country to country. Even within a single culture there are subcultures that may have their own interpretation of the familiar dress codes. One example of such a subculture is the student world. Occasion wear for students therefore often has its own variation on the general dress code. Moreover, the rules for student occasion wear can also differ per city or even per student association. Fortunately, there are a number of occasion wear dress codes for students that apply everywhere.

Formal suits

Students regularly organise all kinds of events. Beer parties, elegant galas and lavish dinners are business as usual for almost every self-respecting student association. As a result, there is a good chance that at some point you will be expected to show up in a formal suit. Occasion wear for students is simply part of the experience. In general, the tuxedo is very popular as occasion wear for students. As soon as you see “black tie” on the invitation, you know a tuxedo is expected. Besides the tuxedo, the tailcoat is also often specified as occasion wear for students. The tailcoat belongs to the “white tie” dress code: one step more formal than black tie.

GENTS Students

Formal suits can be quite pricey. For the average student in particular, a tuxedo or tailcoat is an expensive affair. Not at GENTS. We ourselves once started out 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 the price of occasion wear for students into account. In our webshop you will therefore also find a separate category ‘Students’. There you will find occasion wear for students and everything that goes with it. Think of gala attire, special ties and, of course, pub blazers.

Pub blazers as occasion wear for students

Within a student association, dress codes often apply not only to special events. There are usually also all kinds of rules for what you wear when going out. At a large number of student associations, for example, it goes without saying that you wear at least a blazer. The downside, however, is that by the end of the night your smart jacket no longer looks so stylish. That is why GENTS offers an alternative specifically as occasion wear for students: pub blazers. These are affordable blazers that are ideal for students. You can pick up a pub blazer for just a few tens of euros. The attractive price makes it a lot less annoying if your jacket is grubby or perhaps even ruined after a night out. After all, you can simply buy a new one at GENTS!
