Hi All,
I'm invited to a dinner party at a partner's house outside of Boston at the end of the month. The invite said 'informal', so I won't be wearing a suit, but what do I wear? I'm new to the firm, I've never met most of the people that will attend, and have no idea of what to expect - preppy? sports shirts and khakies? blazers?
I'm currently thinking one of two approaches:
1) Dressy navy merino-wool John Smedley mock-neck and medium brown cords. I think a dressy mock-neck and cords make for a nice informal fall outfit, however, what say you all about navy/brown combos? Am I better with a medium-grey mock-neck in lieu of the navy?
2) Dark blue sport shirt with wool slacks. But what color slacks - charcaol? light grey?
Shoes are less of a problem - I'll probably go with chocolate brown something.
Thanks for any help.
