Caroline's Murder Mystery - costume advice needed

[same_difference]

So cheekychipmunk murder mystery birthday is coming up probably faster than I realise and I'm somewhat stuck as what to wear.

The setting is a costume ball of four groups Fae, Vampires, Were-creatures, Mages, and the Human Watchers (tasked with ensuring the rest of humanity believe the aforementioned don't exist).

My character is the rebellious, playboy, who enjoys living life and is currently dealing with the recent brutal death of his sister and all the consequences of that. And I have no idea what-so-ever to wear... what would a recently traumitised English playboy wear to a costume ball full of immortal creatures who may be responsible for the death of his sister? Anyone?

I would go with one or two extremes - either severely disshevelled and verging on drunk all the time, temper is a hair trigger and very overly emotional, completely and utterly given over to his grief and unable to think of anything else...

...Or the exquisitally dressed, emotional brickhouse whose only way of expressing himself is through icy sarcasm or a quirk of his eyebrows and in complete denial over the death of his sister.

In both cases, the costume is the same - waistcoat, tails, shirt, breeches - just in differing states of repair?
