Any tango dancers out there? Tango is sensual, and elegant. And people used to dress up when they went out to dance. It was a nice occasion to put on that flashy double-breasted chalk-stripe suit that you might find inappropriate for business.
Lately, things have changed. As someone said, "in tango, formal wear is out; sneakers, low-rider jeans and halter tops are in". Of course, in many "milongas" you still see people dressing formally, but it is not that frequent any more.
I personally dislike this change, as it means that there is one more occasion lost for using the kinds of clothes that I like. However, nowadays, in most "milongas" here in Europe, I feel quite out of place when dressing formally. Actually, I have the feeling that I will end up dressing formally only for business!
Any thoughts?
