4 Outfit Ideas for Men Preparing for a Night at the Casino

Heading out for a night on the casino floor is one of life’s pleasures. Whether it’s a chance to spin the wheel, discover if the fickle finger of fate deals you a blackjack or simply soak up the unstinting vibes of those around you, a casino night is always better when you look the part.

Looking and feeling sharp can boost your confidence at the casino tables, setting the tone for a great night all round. Nevertheless, dress codes aren’t such a big deal in gaming hubs like Vegas anymore. Most casino floors turn a blind eye, and even high-end restaurants are now happy to adopt a “casual” dress code.

Binion’s Steakhouse in Horseshoe Las Vegas is a prime example. This high-end steak restaurant on the Strip now has a casual dress code and not even “smart casual”. This resort used to be known as Bally’s but was rebranded to reflect its poker roots, with the World Series of Poker recently moving to this venue. The Bally brand still lives on online though, with the casino game manufacturer launching its own casino platform online. NJ-based readers can check the T&C here about the site for those hearing about Bally’s entry to the Garden State’s iGaming market for the first time.

As for casino floor dress codes, even if the resorts you like to frequent don’t take the style and sophistication of their guests’ appearance seriously anymore, there’s nothing stopping you taking matters into your own hands. With that in mind, here are four killer outfit ideas to help you make a design statement at the table felt.

Blazer and Jeans – the classic “smart casual” look

A well-fitted blazer almost always pops in any setting. If you’re someone that feels too constrained by a full two-piece suit, why not pair a classy blazer with some smart jeans instead? You could pair some dark-wash jeans with a grey or charcoal blazer, along with a buttoned shirt to complete the look. When it comes to footwear, you can keep things low-key yet sophisticated with a pair of brogues or smart loafers which strike the ideal balance between casual and formal.

Black tie – a touch of 007

If you’ve always fancied channelling your inner James Bond at the baccarat tables, you’ll want to go for a classic black tie get-up. It’s the epitome of sophistication, with a bow tie complementing any elegant casino atmosphere. Whether it’s the crisply-ironed white shirt or the polished black dress shoes, everything just screams class. If you’re feeling adventurous, why not incorporate a pocket square or a subtle pair of cufflinks to accessorise?

A statement jacket – let one garment be the star of the show

If you’re not down with the suit idea and you don’t want to take the blazer route either, you could always look to stand out from the crowd with a statement, designer jacket. Whether it’s a velvet jacket, a patterned bomber jacket or even a high-end leather jacket, this can really pop against a clean, simple shirt and jeans combo. Let the jacket shine without overwhelming the entire look.

Modern monochrome – a tonal ensemble

One of the most contemporary outfits for men to consider when visiting a casino is the monochrome look. Pick one colour palette. Pick it wisely and then build the rest of your outfit around it. If it’s grey, you’d opt for an all-grey ensemble in varying shades to incorporate layers of depth and interest. But take care not to overdo it. Too many varying shades of one colour can look a bit much,When it comes to visiting your local casino, for many it’s still about looking the part as much as playing and winning. Ultimately, if your casino night out is a special occasion, there’s nothing wrong with looking and feeling confident, even if some land-based casinos don’t take the appearance of their patrons as seriously as they used to.
