Please stop using the word "elevated."

Thank you.

+100 I had to look barrel jeans up, yuck! I don't know anyone who wears these!

Ok got it! Not sure what I was thinking. It’s also a million degrees and too hot for jean’s anyway

Way too casual. This is brunch on a Saturday at Le Diplomate. You need a dress or a much more elevated style of pant beyond jeans.

Omg no.

A real cocktail party, given by gay men? OP you need to wear a dress.

Ok clearly I was not thinking correctly and glad I asked!! I will look at my dresses.

Pants, no jeans. If they specifically stated cocktail party don't dress down with jeans. If the invite was drinks then jeans are fine.

How about white linen wide leg pants, they will look nice with a camj and gold

That just sounds boring to me. Like I'd wear to a restaurant for a fairly casual night. This sounds like a fun occasion to wear a dress or something a little outside the everyday.

Why not just wear a cocktail dress?

Isn't that the easiest, most likely to be appropriate thing?

I was invited to a cocktail party hosted by a 60yo gay man/ a colleague.what to wear? I never go out anymore… Thinking patent brown pumps, barrel jeans, a silk navy cami, and gold jewelry. Is this ok?
