Question on formal attire

[vinj]

Same reason why men buy Playboy and Penthouse magazines... for the articles.

And some guys going to carshows for the cars... :D

Saan ba gagawin yan? alam mo naman sa atin loosely used ang term na formal, just make sure na naka dress pants ka and not an ordinary slacks, sabi nga when in doubt dress up.

This is true as well. In some places, what's formal for some may not stand as formal for others. You also have to take into context the venue, place/area, and the attendees/host.
