There are times when all you want to do is head to the local and have a beer on the sly in a T-shirt that's less than fashion-forward. Other times though, you just want to put your fanciest gear on and head to the classiest establishment that will let you through their door. Here's a selection of party venues that demand designer duds and "it"-bags for entry. Just don't forget to take your credit card - you'll need it for all those super-luxe cocktails you'll be sipping.
