Module 05- Dress Code .................................................................................................................................. 1 5.1 Deciding the dress code ........................................................................................................................... 2 1 | P a g e 5.1 Deciding the dress code One of the crucial factors in holding a successful event is to achieve the perfect atmosphere that enables your guests to relax, interact with one another, and enjoy the proceedings. There is no single action you can take that will conjure up this perfect atmosphere. It takes a carefully planned and well-managed combination of factors, skillfully coordinated to ensure your event is everything that could be hoped for. One factor that will help the guests feel comfortable is an appropriate dress code. While dress code may not be an issue for casual celebrations, for more formal events, it is entirely appropriate to describe the dress code at the bottom of the invitation. If it’s a themed event, you may also request that form of dress. As an event planner, you should also adapt your attire to your clients’ request and vision of the event. Appropriate dress shows respect for the business and customers. Showing up to a meeting poorly groomed shows the other person that you do not care enough about the meeting to bother making an effort. When you are properly dressed, there is also nothing to distract others from your message. It is extremely helpful and considerate to mention to your guests that your event will be held outdoors. To do so appropriately, simply mention it in the wording of your invitation. For example, prior to giving the location name and address, include a line that states “in the garden”, “under the stars”, or “on the terrace”, as appropriate. Guests will definitely appreciate a polite indication of the required dress code on the invitation. It will also save you a time and questions regarding how people need be dressed. Here is the list of formulas for indicating the desired attire. White tie means ultra-formal. Women wear only long, formal evening gowns. Long gloves may also be worn. A women may keep her gloves on during cocktails, when dancing, and when going through the receiving line; they should, however, be removed during dinner. Men wear a black coat with tails and a white pique vest over a white formal shirt with white pique bow tie and black patent leather shoes. Charity or society balls are usually white-tie events. 2 | P a g e Black Tie This is usually a formal event or a party suited to formal attire. Men should wear black tuxedos or dark suits with a long armed formal shirt and a tie or bow tie. Women preferably wear floor-length elegant gowns. However, classy cocktail dresses that fall below the knee are now acceptable as well. Women wear hair in an elegant up do or partial up do, and should put on their best jewelry. Creative Black Tie allows your personality to influence your formal wear. Men can go with a more modern tuxedo—perhaps a black shirt and no tie. Women can wear long or short dresses or separates (maybe a long lace or sequined skirt with a sleek blouse). Formal usually means the same as black tie. If your host is especially trendy, men may wear a black shirt and no tie with a tuxedo. Tradition, however, requires that men wear the standard tuxedo and that women wear long cocktail dresses or dressy evening separates. Semiformal is the trickiest of all the dress codes. Typically, it means that tuxedos are not required, nor are long dresses. An evening event (after 6:00 pm) would still require a dark suit for men and a cocktail dress for women. Daytime semiformal events demand a suit for him and an appropriate short dress or dressy suit for her. Lounge suit. Lounge suit dress codes call for a suit and tie for men (black, navy, or tan) and a glamorous frock for women (floor length or three-quarter length). Accessories are important. For ladies, metallic accessories are lovely; for men, a silver watch and tie (a splash of bright color to match your partner) is ideal. 3 | P a g e Cocktail dress code usually means semiformal short, elegant dresses, although they dresses may be of various lengths. For men, such attire consists of a jacket, with or without a tie, and long dress pants (trousers). Cocktail attire is often more fashion-conscious with cultured suits and shirts. Business attire on the scale of formality, business attire is more formal than casual but less formal than cocktail attire. Business attire for men consists of a suit (usually dark in color), including a pair of trousers and a matching jacket. The suit is worn with a long-sleeved shirt and a tie or a polo shirt with dress pants. Attire for women is, in its strictest interpretation, patterned after the male standard—a suit consisting of a jacket with matching skirt or trousers, plus a blouse. Informal may mean the same as casual; however, when the event is associated with a wedding or another special occasion, some form of decorum should prevail. A dress for her or a nice pair of slacks and a shirt for him are informal, but respectful. Smart casual usually causes the most confusion from the dress codes. This etiquette varies across countries and even companies. Generally, safe smart casual attire is office attire with some added accessories to dress it up a little. A smart jacket with closed shoes or heels is recommended. If you do opt for jeans, your denim should look somewhat dressy, fresh and sharp, with no wear or holes. A great tip for woman: add a blazer for an extra touch of class. 4 | P a g e Casual- Casual dress is more laid-back than any other dress code. You can wear anything from a cotton blouse to a T-shirt. Appropriate shoes are part of this dress code: Many assume that flip-flops (thong sandals) are suitable wear, when in fact they are not. Avoid inflammatory or otherwise offensive graphic tees. Nightclub chic: suggests nothing other than black and sleek. Sophisticated resort-wear: means upscale sundress for her and subtly cultured linen trousers for him. Theme or festive attire means that attire should match the event’s theme. Themed attire is becoming more common, and dress codes have expanded to fit the occasion. To encourage your guests to dress in costume, include a specific request on the invitation, such as: “Renaissance garb requested, but not required”. Be sure to let quests know that they may still attend even if they do not dress according the theme. Otherwise, you may alienate guests who don’t feel comfortable in costume. In our increasingly casual society, there is a greater need for special dress codes. Here are Common pitfalls of dressing etiquette: Wearing casual wear to the office (unless the company has, e.g., a Casual Friday policy) Wearing beach wear in the city Not dressing in one’s best at church Wearing bright or cultured clothes at a funeral Wearing entirely black outfits at weddings Wearing flip-flops (thong sandals) everywhere Ignoring the specific dress code of an event. 5 | P a g e When working abroad or with people from different cultures, or with very religious individuals, you will need to dress carefully to avoid offending anyone. Here is a list of five countries where very strict dress codes applies. 1. France: Ban on burqas and niqabs. In April 2011, France’s law against burqas and niqabs went into effect. Essentially, the law is a ban on the traditional female Muslim dress, and it allows a police officer to verbally request removal of the veil before escorting the violator to a police station for ID verification and removal. The fine is 150 Euros for a first-time offender and 30,000 Euros for a male who forces a woman to wear a burqa or niqab. 2. Saudi Arabia and Iran: Ban on bare skin and cross-dressing. Saudi Arabia and Iran are home to some of the strictest social laws on the planet, many applying exclusively to women. This separation of legal restrictions by sex seems austere by Western standards. Aside from requiring a male guardian, a woman must also wear a niqab and an abaya in public so as to not expose bare skin. Men also have restrictions— they are not allowed to cross dress. 3. Bhutan: Gho and kira required in public, Considered one of the happiest countries on the planet. While it is rare to read a word on Bhutan without being reintroduced to this policy on happiness, there are also other, less well-known measures in place to maintain Bhutanese culture. For example, all Bhutanese citizens must adhere to a strict dress code. In public, men must wear a knee-length robe called a gho, and women must wear a kimono known as a kira. The dress code is older than the current kingdom, and is known as driglamnamzha. 4. North Korea: No pants (trousers) for ladies; haircuts for men. In North Korea, men are supposed to trim their hair every 15 days. Older men are given leniency: their hair may grow long enough to cover bald spots. Most men are allotted a maximum hair length of two inches; males fifty years and older can grow their hair an additional 0.75 inch. Women are not permitted to wear pants (trousers), and if an infraction occurs, the pants-wearing offender faces a stint at one of the North’s labor camps.

  • Dressing for the Times: Fashion in Tang Dynasty China (618-907)
    Dressing for the Times: Fashion in Tang Dynasty China (618-907) BuYun Chen Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2013 © 2013 BuYun Chen All rights reserved ABSTRACT Dressing for the Times: Fashion in Tang Dynasty China (618-907) BuYun Chen During the Tang dynasty, an increased capacity for change created a new value system predicated on the accumulation of wealth and the obsolescence of things that is best understood as fashion. Increased wealth among Tang elites was paralleled by a greater investment in clothes, which imbued clothes with new meaning. Intellectuals, who viewed heightened commercial activity and social mobility as symptomatic of an unstable society, found such profound changes in the vestimentary landscape unsettling. For them, a range of troubling developments, including crisis in the central government, deep suspicion of the newly empowered military and professional class, and anxiety about waste and obsolescence were all subsumed under the trope of fashionable dressing. The clamor of these intellectuals about the widespread desire to be “current” reveals the significant space fashion inhabited in the empire – a space that was repeatedly gendered female. This dissertation considers fashion as a system of social practices that is governed by material relations – a system that is also embroiled in the politics of the gendered self and the body. I demonstrate that this notion of fashion is the best way to understand the process through which competition for status and self-identification among elites gradually broke away from the imperial court and its system of official ranks.

  • Results and Discussion 83 RESULTS and DISCUSSION the Interest That Indian Women Showed in Ornamentation and Aesthetic Expression
    Results and Discussion RESULTS AND DISCUSSION The interest that Indian women showed in ornamentation and aesthetic expression through their costumes has been documented well. It is pertinent to understand the messages that they conveyed through their sartorial preferences which is documented in various forms sculptures, scriptures, literature, paintings, costume archives, cinema, media –advertisements and magazines etcetera. Each community and ethnic group maintained unique characteristics, which become symbols of recognition and identification and served to establish their cultural affiliation. Central to this was the Indian woman who was the symbol of patriarchal society. She combined both the functions of being the nurturer and protector of her household and cultural ethos of the society. The woman was as important part as the man; of the Indian society, which embraced both the indoor and outdoor roles within the social- cultural paradigms of the community. The span of evolution of Indian women’s costume, especially the draped version, the sari has undergone immense changes, however to interpret the semiology of the era bygone is rather complex; as one can attempt to understand and decode the tacit meaning through the lens of current observation only. Since the people who shared the ancient set of rules or code for contextual reading that enables us to connect the signifier with the signified are not present, this will prove to be delimiting. The Indian fashion scene began receiving its due credibility and attention from 1980’s onwards and gained the industry recognition in 21st century: hence this research focuses on new millennium to understand the Indian Fashion System.

  • Dress Code Is a Presentation of Who We Are.” 1997-98 Grand Officers
    CLOTHING GUIDELINES: MEMBERS AND ADULTS (Reviewed annually during Grand Officer Leadership; changes made as needed) Changes made by Jr. Grand Executive Committee (November 2016) “A dress code is a presentation of who we are.” 1997-98 Grand Officers One of the benefits of Rainbow is helping our members mature into beautiful, responsible young women - prepared to meet challenges with dignity, grace and poise. The following guidelines are intended to help our members make appropriate clothing choices, based on the activities they will participate in as Rainbow girls. The Clothing Guidelines will be reviewed annually by the Jr. Members of the Grand Executive Committee. Recommendations for revisions should be forwarded to the Supreme Officer prior to July 15th of each year. REGULAR MEETINGS Appropriate: Short dress, including tea-length and high-low length, or skirt and blouse or sweater or Nevada Rainbow polo shirt (tucked in) with khaki skirt or denim skirt. Vests are acceptable. Skirt length: Ideally, HEMS should not be more than three inches above the knee. Skirts, like pencil skirts that hug the body and require “adjustment” after bowing or sitting, are unacceptable. How to tell if a skirt has a Rainbow appropriate length? Try the “Length Test”, which includes: When bowing from the waist, are your undergarments visible, or do you need to hold your skirt - or shirt - down in the back? If so, it's too short for a Rainbow meeting. Ask your mother or father to stand behind you and in front of you while you bow from the waist. If she/he gasps, the outfit is not appropriate for a Rainbow meeting.
