Default Clubbing advice needed

Heyas... tonight I'm going out clubbing w/ some friends for the first time. The problem is, I don't have a clue of what to wear. (I'm a guy)

Are khakis and a polo acceptable? Should I go dressier?

Thanks in advance.

How hip is this club? I would go with dark slacks and a long sleeved button down shirt over khakis and a polo unless it's fairly casual.

NO TRAINERS!

Loose, collar shirt....jeans....shoes.... that's it.

Clubs are great cos my twin brother gets IDed and I don't :devil3:

And we're identical! WTF is up with that?!

And why do fat bastards in superhero costumes always get in?!

And why is it always the smallest guy who picks a fight, when he's pissed?!

Why not when he's big...and sober

'Hey, I just had 10 coffees and I've spent a year in the gym. I've taken steroids and I just solved the crossword in the paper. Who wants some?!'

No, pick a fight when you can;t see. I mean, the other guy won't stop swaying, he must be an easy target!

Dunno how hip it is, but it says the dress is "GQ/Upscale." No hats, sneakers, baggy jeans, jerseys, or non-club attire.

Trainers are tennis shoes.

If it says GQ/Upscale then go for the dark slacks and dress shoes and a buttoned long sleeve shirt...make sure it doesn't have a buttoned down collar though.

Well, the first thing you want to do is get a club with good heft, but not so heavy that you can't swing it repeatedly without your arm getting tired. Some of the high-tech saps aren't bad, but to me nothing beats the feel of an old-fashioned wood headknocker.

Then you want to be sure to aim for the right portion of your opponents' anatomies, such as the . . .

Wait, you don't mean that kind of clubbing?

Never mind.

I find it's always big, drunk guys who try to pick fights with me. Little guys and sober guys know better.

(I guess that's where the club comes in handy.)
