Parties are back, but how to dress? A holiday guide
Associated PressNEW YORK — The season’s triple-virus threat notwithstanding, parties are back, and they’ve brought with them the potential for some dress code chaos. “I think the thing that people are most unsure about is formal attire because most of us have few occasions to ever wear it,” Post said. “That’s one most people get stressed about, but it’s a category that’s pretty well-defined.” By well-defined, she means: trousers with a satin or braid stripe; plain-front, wing-collar, French cuff shirts; stiff white pique vests; cuff links or studs; black or white braces; black socks; and black patent-leather pumps or lace-up Oxfords. BLACK TIE It’s the next most formal attire, and means tuxedos in black or midnight blue. If I was invited to a festive, black-tie Christmas event, I’m searching for a bow tie and cummerbund that have Santa Claus or reindeer or something on them,” Post added.
