Though he does realize Jun probably didn't see it as one, at least not at the time of invitation. Even he hadn't been sure how "date-like" it would turn out. But things played out rather romantically, with kisses and hand-holding, and they had a lovely time besides. Which means it was definitely a date! That's his conclusion, anyway.
Still, this is special. This one Jun does see as a date, and he's the one who asked! Not to mention it's rather more formal. Less chance of finding lube in treasure chests, more chance of eating finger food and wowing their fellow guests in elegant formalwear. Fortunately he's comfortable in such environments, and all too happy to guide Jun through them.]
Do you have anything that qualifies? I wasn't sure if you kept whatever you woke up in, but I assume that was "fancy."
[He, admittedly, kept most of the ex-fine-esque outfit, but it isn't in good shape. It's all folded up and wrinkled in a drawer somewhere. He doesn't want to wear that thing! It's just there in case of some all-his-other-clothes-are-in-the-wash emergency. Pieces of it could be worn separately without reminding him of ex-fine too much, at least. But he wouldn't want to wear the whole ensemble, and he didn't keep parts like the wedding veil or the gloves. Those got left behind on the floor of the wedding suite and presumably swept up by staff.
Fortunately, he has other clothes including formal attire. He just isn't sure if Jun does since Jun mostly wears comfortable clothes. But if not:]
If not, we'll just have to shop! But as far as the recital goes, I'm sure you know how to sit quietly and applaud. Then at the party, well... I guess that depends on the setup? If there's no dinner table, then there's not much to talk about in terms of table manners. And this place is a mix of different cultures, so you might be expected to shake hands when meeting new people rather than bowing. This will probably just be a case of "see what other people are doing and try to copy that."
But in general, my advice would be to keep your chin up, smile, and keep the conversation topics pleasant. I'm sure you'll do fine. You learn well, you've opened up a lot this past year, and you'll have me with you!
