Is it okay to wear formal suit to dinner date that isn’t a super fancy restaurant?

place:

Olive Garden
or Yayla Bistro restaurant

I have always wanted to dress up. My husband is all for it but I do feel self conscious.
I am worried people will find us funny.

Here are some examples of outfits I am thinking of:

What's wrong with that? Who cares what people think. My partner and I turn heads all the time because we dress up fancy almost every single day. Many people stop us and say how wonderful we look and that they wish they had the confidence to do what we do. I think that's sill because we shouldn't place significance on what others think. Just do what you want to do.

I don’t know what the Bistro restaurant is but I work at an Olive Garden and these outfits are definitely way too formal. OG is not a fancy place at all lol
but hey if you want an excuse to dress up, go for it

Perhaps I won’t wear that whole gown dress. And no tie for the guy. Would the blue suit still be too formal lol?

It’s totally okay im also being “overdressed” all the time. I don’t care what people’s think.

Same here. I'm "overdressed" all the time and don't give a shit. Rather look good than a total slob like all the masses.

Of course it’s ok!

Thank you ! I needed a validation and now I feel a bit more confident ❤️ I really appreciate it

[KatherineJ]

No worries. A dress up date doesn’t have to be to somewhere fancy.

I've wore a full suit in a Wetherspoons before and that definitely was nerve racking buy they I had an appointment with my bank manager so just went where I knew

It’s ok because they will assume you are going to a wedding or just came from a formal event

If you are too worried about it go on a Sunday afternoon and everyone will think that you just came from church.
