Simple Questions - ASK AND ANSWER HERE!- October 29

Can I get some feedback on my outfit to a school dance? The dress code is semi-formal. Basically what the means is dress shirt, pants, shoes and a tie. You could get away with a jacket/suit. I am definitely wearing my suit, or at least the jacket (I know common advice is not wear suit jacket with anything besides the matching pants, but it's highschool, nobody will notice and I don't have enough money to buy another jacket) for pictures.

First off, my dates dress is bright red, like this. I do not want to match it (i.e. get a tie of the same color), I think that's a bit tacky personally.

My jacket is mid-dark grey. I would personally consider it dark grey, but I don't want it to be confused with charcoal. I could either wear the matching pants, or a pair of navy dress pants. I am personally leaning towards the navy pants as I think a complete suit might be a bit much.

As far as shirt/tie/square go, I was thinking of a solid light blue shirt, a patterned maroon tie (something like this), and maybe a plain white pocket square, but if anyone has recommendations I'm open.

My shoes are AE Walnut Strands.

Also, the most important part, everything I will be wearing is going to be tailored.

To sum it out, current plan is mid-dark grey jacket, solid light blue shirt, patterned maroon tie, white pocket square, navy pants and light brown shoes, with my date having a bright red dress.

Thoughts or criticisms?
