I asked around about this...I have friends in NYC that are in the fashion industry.

"No" to black tie (although I am prepared); the person I spoke with told me "NY Chic" is suit and tie. I am not sure about this, let me check around some more. (you can make fun of me all you want, but I do like to dress appropriately...heck I have 5 driver's suits!)

Its not what you wear but How you wear it. I could rock jeans and a V-neck tee.

but i got swag....;)

If your consulting with friends in the fashon industry then your overthinking it and might as well just grab your go-to generic monkey suit that you wear to weddings/funerals/ect... and jazz it up with a loud tie:2tu:




A drivers suit would be cool.

Suit & tie not required.

Wear what ever make you feel dapper. Texas guys can wear a hat & boots, California guys a sport coat & slacks, midwest a suit, east coast guys a leather jacket and jeans.

Viper guys can wear a logo shirt and SRT jacket.

Think lots of things will be acceptable, or just be like me, and wear what ever your wife/GF tells you to wear : >)

I think they want to avoid slobs showing up in tank tops and sweat pants with holes in them. It's a high profile event with lots of cameras and the last thing they want is an ugly group of slobs moping around in the background of pics.
Just look nice, that's all.

I do think the drivers suit would be the most appropriate though! :) just sayin'

If that suit is a fitted Armani then yes it's suit and tie ;)

NY chic is alot of things but I can tell you what it's not! it's not your regular standard suit, it's not baggy jeans with a viper tshirt, it's not slacks,shirt and a blazer, it's not sneakers (running, or cross training), and it's deft not cowboy boots and hat :rolaugh:
NY chic is more an attitude of how you wear what you like and what's in right now... Jeans(as long as they are not baggy) and V necks, polos, or even some tshirts are cool if done right with the right shoes, Suits are always chic but must be skinny or fitted..., If you need examples just open up any GQ and you will get the idea ;)
Just to clarify, I'm not saying not to wear what makes you comfortable, but just what NY chick is. I personally think that this venue is wrong for the Viper and it's current members. It screams Ferrari guys!!

I live in Kneebrasky and izzz confused? Why we sposed to all go dressed like a New York Chick?????
:lmao: I dont get it either.. It's obnoxious for SRT to put NY chick on there... A simple casual and neat attire would have been acceptable.... I guess they forget who's coming to this party:dunno:

Oh god, I love the comments on this subject! LOL

To clarify, the person I "consulted" about what to wear happens to live in New York and is a fellow racer. We were talking about things related to racing so I asked him to ask his girlfriend.

I don't own Armani suits...I'm too cheap. :)

But having the "NY Chic" notation is not inappropriate. Like it was said above, this is a big event for Dodge/SRT, and some people don't know what to wear. I've seen people show up at high-end weddings in jeans and t-shirts..c'mon...we're above that. This is an upscale car, remember?

Ask a simple question.....and there was some questions brought up with the Arizona Club if black tie was necessary. Since Pemberton dropped in, I can see him in a chicken suit or in some Cornhusker "Go Big Red" onsombo. Since I am originally from Iowa....I guess I will have to wear what my grandfather ( who was a farmer) wore when he came to the big city.....overalls, a big white Stetson hat, and a jacket.

Come on guys, lets try and grow up a little bit.

Do yourself and your wives or girlfriends a favor. Go and pick up a GQ magazine.

And don't just read the articles, look at the pictures. "Not that there's anything wrong with that." :D

Here are a couple of celebrity examples that might help you avoid a fashion faux pas:

Bill, I think tiddy whities in Nebrasky is the full length underwear with the rear "drawer" in back!!! Start a useful thread and it only takes about two minutes for it to go south. Friday is my birthday so I will come to New York in my birthday suit and a black tie. Mopar Boy..do not forget to bring your horse.

Dear Dr. Bob,

We stay away from them rear drawer undies, as we fear some proctologists might take vantage of us --- now what do you practice?

Seriously, we need to rephrase this as " Gilles Chic," as I have never seen Ralph with a tie on , so I am figuring if we all wear nice slacks or upscale jeans with a sport coat and a nice shirt , we will meet the true look of a Viper afficianado. I figure if it is good enough for Ralph, then it is good enough for all the rest of us? I do even plan to polish my shoes!

Fashion Statement #101 -- don't overdress in front of the CEO of SRT. Somehow I would rather use Ralph Gilles as a Viper style maven than all go looking more in the vein of Ralph Lauren. Heh, just a thought!

I spoke with some people...William is spot on. Black Tie is overboard; my bad. Rumor has it that Mr. Gilles doesn't own a tie...

But the conversation is not inappropriate. Remember, we are representing the VCA, so we don't want to look like slobs.

Maybe, to support the earliest Dodge dealers we should all wear Tator Togas : >)


But seriously guys, think this event is turning out to be a pretty cool happening. No reason to read more into it than there is. It was most appropriate for SRT to recommend a dress suggestion so people can have some guideline to know what is their intent, and so everybody can feel comfortable when they attend.

There will be no fashion police, so plan to grab a drink, nibble on some walk around food, and when the newest Viper in unveiled, I bet all attention will be on the car as the star!
