Experience I have been writing a daily etiquette advice column for 6 years.
I have taught as well as given lectures on the subject.
My husband and I have been invited to attend "An Evening got our Members" where we golf. The event will he held at the end of May, from what I can tell from the weather predictions it will be cool, Live Music, Food and beverages will be served and from 6 to 11 PM. The dress code indicated on the invitation states "Elegantly casual".
I do find that there are more and more type of dress codes coming out of the closets.
Answer Dear Mrs. Bergeron,
All of these made up dress codes drive me mad. Stick any two
words together and feel people will know what you mean for them
to wear!
From as best as I can decipher,"Elegantly Casual" means you get
to mash up Black Tie with sports clothes. Be comfortable,but don't
look like you are running Saturday errands. Dress up,but not so much
so that you can't enjoy mingling for 2 hours without thinking about how you just want to get home and change.
