Just got an invitation for some upscale charity function to take place later this month in downstate NY.
The premise of this event is a gourmet dinner paired w/ some rather fine wines followed by an auction. The festivities will take place in an old barn on an even older estate that, presumably, will be turned into something grand for a rather affluent crowd [w/ the exception of my wife and I of course]
The invite specifically states the dresscode is "cozy barn chic with practical shoes". Needless to say I am rather stymied as to what would be appropriate.
I'm thinking something along the lines of dress jeans w/ a Jantzen shirt along w/ a woven tie from someone like Ben Silver. As for practical shoes; perhaps something like one of the more casual designs from the Polo Ralph Lauren collection would suffice.
Would some of the style mavens here would be kind enough to help me decipher this dresscode?
Your assistance would be greatly appreciated.
