Don't let the fashion bug keep you home!

There is definitely a double standard in Vegas when it comes to dressing – men are judged far more strictly than women for what they wear.  Most Vegas clubs try to attract women because they attract men who will spend money.  That means that men who aren’t trying to impress aren’t welcome.  While this might not be fair, many men lose out on a good time because what they wear isn’t up to par. 

What to Wear to a Vegas Club 

Here are a few rules of thumb to consider before you go out:

Jeans and Pants

Jeans are appropriate for many nightclubs in Las Vegas, but make sure they look good.  This means nothing baggy, ratty or dirty.  Dark washes like, this one from AG jeans, make great clubwear.

Or these 7 For All Mankind Jeans A Pocket Cord Pants:

These Ed Hardy Tigerhead Leather Detailed Jeans are also a great nightclub look (but beware, they may be too casual for some clubs):

If you’re going to a more upscale club or you just don’t want to take any chances, wear a pair of flat-front, dark slacks.

Shirts

Stay away from t-shirts and anything sleeveless.  Hip, button-down, collared shirts are a good bet.  Something like these Calvin Klein Purple Fashion Dress Shirts could work nicely with jeans or slacks:

Or this Calvin Klein Long Sleeve Tubular Stripe Woven Shirt:

For a more casual and edgy nightclub look, this Lucky Brand Jeans Tattoo Embroidery Shirt, would look great when paired with jeans:

Shoes

Anything too casual in the shoe area should also be avoided.  There are plenty of good alternatives to tennis shoes out there, so shop around!  Kenneth Cole has perfected the leather shoe and also designs some great menswear.

Something like these polished Kenneth Cole shoes would work:

These Prada Men's Black Leather Ankle Boots are also a great bet (and they're on super-sale, too!):

The Slick, Cool and Expensive Look

Overall, think slick, casual-cool and expensive when picking out your Vegas wardrobe.  This might mean a sport jacket and tie, but it might just mean a crisp button down shirt tucked into slim black slacks and immaculate leather shoes.  Think about what looks good on your body (hint: skinny jeans are called “skinny” for a reason).

Las Vegas is all about glitz, so take some small fashion risks to stand out from the crowd.   A pair of cool glasses, a funky belt or a flashy watch can add a bit of extra flair to an otherwise standard outfit. 

Something like these Ed Hardy Leather Signature Tattoo Wrist Cuffs perhaps, if you're going to one of Vegas's many mega-clubs:

Take cues from celebrities but don’t overdo it.   Be yourself and go with your style, just take it to the next level.  Kanye West, a fashion chameleon, is great at mixing casual and sophisticated elements, perfect for clubbing.

If you’re really stuck, ask your female friends or acquaintances.  Women have a sharp eye for what looks good and what doesn’t and if you don’t take things too personally, they can give you some good ideas.
