[quote=Anonymous]Jeans are too casual.

The second choice is okay but will you be hot if it’s a crowded house and warm?  I’d rather wear something with a cardigan or something so if it’s warm inside you aren’t sweating.  They will probably have caterers and it may be crowded.

Same issue with the third choice and I also am not crazy about combat boots for this type of event.  But if your spouse is just attending as a random associate or partner, not the honoree, it’s probably not a big deal.  Someone might think “oh, bob’s wife seems kind of …, arty.”  So if you’re asking what’s most normal, appropriate, I would say not combat boots.  But if you’re asking if you need to go about and buy some shoes that you don’t really want, I say not necessary.

The leather skirt would work, assuming it’s not very short, if you have something other than combat boots and a nicer shirt (like a silk blouse) to wear with it.  I disagree with PP about a corduroy dress — that seems too casual to me.

I think the last one of these I went to was in the summer 2023 and I wore the ubiquitous anthro silk dress with like a fun belt.  I can remember one in the winter where I wore black dress pants, a patterned silk shirt and a black cardigan.  I can remember another in the winter or fall where I wore a boatneck ponte dress in a bright color with knee high boots and tights.

The goal here is to wear something you can stand around in ckmfortably for 2-3 hours in uncertain heat/cool, and that will not make anyone say “did she not realize she was coming to an event like this” (not too casual or super formal) or “why is she dressed like a mail order bride”.  (nothing too tight, or with your T or A hanging out.). Basically if anyone remembers you, it should be for your conversation and not your clothes.
