A sadie hawkins dance can be anything. Formal or informal. It's just like any other dance except the girls as the guys.

If you have to wear a tux, I just have two suggestions:

a real collar. the type you'd see on a standard white oxford, not one of thems funky tips things that show off the band of the bowtie. Those are made for white ties :)

a real bowtie. It's not that hard to tie--more or less like a shoe.

Well it really doesn't matter if its sadie hawkins or not, it depends on whether its semiformal, formal, or casual. Our winter semi-formals were sadie hawkins, and since it was our school's only semiformal, most people went all out. You should find out what it is. I don't think it'd be too hard to find out, just ask any girl, they'd have all the details. For formal, definitely a tux, I'd suggest a nice fullback vest and bowtie. halfbacks just make you look like a caterer or bartender. Semiformal- this can vary from a nice dress shirt and slacks, or shirt and tie, or even a nice suit. I know all the guys wearing suits got lots of favorable looks from the ladies ;). casual- still dress decently, short sleeved polo with khakis. my rule of thumb- wear something that impresses the ladies. you can't go wrong with that. unless you think a pikachu suit would do the trick :)

on the assumption that it's not an all out formal. if you're a dude, wear a pair of khakis and a collared shirt. if it's somewhat dressy, go with navy slacks and a matching coat. tie optional. if you're a chick, would recommend a slip dress and a cute little jacket.

What is "sadie hawkins"???? A person, or something?
<--never understood this sadie hawkins thing, and has never heard about one actually happening, only on TV in old movies and stuff.
