What should I wear to a dinner with my hubby's bosses and colleagues?

Question

I hate being overdressed and I don't want to be too casual either, the dinner's not a very formal one (I think) but I would appreciate every suggestion that you have.

Thanks.

Answer 1

wear like a casual outfit like if you were going to an office meeting...... even if you are over dressed who cares, as ling as you have a good time and also where you go depends to so ask your hubby!

Answer 2

Wear the basic boring black dress. You can dress it up or down with jewelry. If the dinner is at a restaurant you could always call and ask about the mode of dress. I am sorry I can't tell you more a lot depends on the company he is employed with.

Answer 3

All depends on his company.  You're going to have to get some guidance for him.

My husband works in executive management at a huge Japanese company.  I'm told that when we dine with his bosses, I should wear a dress or a suit.

I am an attorney in a large law firm.  We are "corporate casual" most of the time.  If we dine with my bosses, we would dress according to the venue.  I hve a black wrap knit dress that works for almost all venues (boots for a more casual place; pumps for a "businessy" type affair; sandals for dressy).

Answer 4

My mother had a rule: it is always better to be overdressed than under-dressed.  It is soooooooo true.  It is always better to show up looking polished and well dressed than to show up too casual.

Check your closet for something classic but not overdone.

I will always choose a dress before slacks.  Being feminine is a wonderful thing.

Modest jewelry and no outrageous 6" heels ( save those for the club ).  You'll be fine   :)

Answer 5

I would wear slacks and a nice shirt but not a too dressy one. You will be fine with what ever you decide to wear. Good luck and have a nice dinner.  :)
