[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sweats. Never. Not if invited to dinner. I’d wear jeans, sure, for casual neighbor dinner. But I’d wear makeup and nice top too. Common courtesy.[/quote]

Same.

Also, when they arrived I would have said something like, “wow, you guys went all out with your fancy sweatpants tonight!” [/quote]

To which most people would respond, why are you so dressed up for dinner at home?[/quote]

Because we are having guests over and if we’re sitting in the dining room table, we’re not wearing sweats, even in our own home.[/quote]

it's just very provincial to have these rules. very 'middle class fancy'. Assume you also have 'live laugh love' sign and 'formal dinnerware' and care about type of napkins etc. 
it's just not 'real' - like doesn't actually matter. 
I grew up in the UK around a lot of very old school, 'titled' people - and normal, middle class people too. And the less 'actually' upper class, the more all these random rules were considered important. But the truly upper class people had impeccable manners, empathy, curiosity. But they couldn't give 2 sh*ts if you wore sweatpants unless it was actually a formal occasion like an event. [/quote]
