"Interesting" was a bad choice of words. Essentially I was agreeing with you that a white dress shirt would not be my first choice for a social gathering. "Subtly patterned" might be better...
You're out of high school for 20 years. Make your own rules.
It's still a novelty for me to see any of my high school friends in regular clothes, since we had a uniform that could be stifling toward the end of the school year, and that was the "summer" uniform that kicked in around April.
For a reunion, I agree with a dark suit, but I would wear a tie, since I agree that you can always take it off. For a nice shirt, I would look to some of Pink's offerings, since there are some tastefully-patterned shirts, some with modern slim cuts, in the line, and many have double/french cuffs, so you could wear an interesting pair of cufflinks, even if you don't wear a tie.

Avoiding making yourself look older and bad by picking something other than a white shirt is what you should do. White is outdated. Wearing it on black...hmm..pulp fiction or bible salesmen...Maybe good for halloween...
I don't see how gender affects anything here anymore than the income quotes.
That looks perfectly fine for a hotel. Its exactly what I am talking about.
I'm not even going to kid you - this is a great outfit! Stylish without looking like you're trying too hard. I agree if your climate isn't the best for the materials, use something like this as a guide if you will. Oh, and if you decide to go with jeans on bottom please for the love of all that is good and holy in the world please make sure you buy a pair that fit proper and is dark-wash.
If money is an issue try places like TJ Maxx and Target. They've gotten surprisingly stylish over the years.
Thumbs up Pitt Transplant for finding a perfectly good "look"
Suit the clothig to the place of the reunion. We always have a more formal dinning and a more or less get together during the weekend of the reunion.
