Someone
asked me the other day, “Is there a dress code for Thanksgiving?”
That's a very good question. It really depends on the host, different
meal set-ups calls for dress codes. I compiled a small list to help
you.
- Buffet
set-up – Here you can dress up in casual attire. Jeans, shorts,
sweat pants, t-shirts or sweaters will do, anything that will be
comfortable to wear is the key. Mostly everyone will be standing up
and sitting down to get food.
- Sit
down, passing the food set-up – The dress code here is smart
casual. Shorts, sweat pants and ordinary t-shirts won't do. Jeans,
long pants, and nice dress shirts is the bets way to go. Spills and
mess will surely occur and many of us don't want a our Thanksgiving Dresses to get ruined.
- Sit
down, plated dinner set-up – here, we take it up a notch, we go
semi-formal. Usually here, the meal is either plated by the host or
he or she has hired a professional to cook and serve the meal.
Wearing long sleeved dress shirts, dress pants, Thanksgiving dresses
or party dresses is the way to go.
- Sit
down, five or more course meal set-up – consider this the highest
form of dinner invite you can receive. Here, food is cooked and
served by a professional caterer and the nice fancy stuff are served.
The number of guests is more than twenty or so. The dress code for
this occasion is strictly formal such as a nice suite for the guys
and evening gowns for the girls.
Just
always remember to ask your host what the dress attire will be. You
don't want to celebrate Thanksgiving under dressed or over dressed.
