What to Wear to a South Beach Party?

[Jaredg]

Internet! I need your help.

I live in Toronto and every year our big museum, the ROM, has a massive fete.

The theme changes year to year, but this year, it is "Ocean Drive" which everyone is taking to mean "South Beach" or "Palm Beach/Worth Avenue"

I need help figuring out how to dress. The party is in around three weeks. If it was warm enough, of course I would just wear a vilebrequin trunks and oil my chest, cause what lady doesn't love that?

But more seriously, any suggestions are helpful.

I am leaning towards a black with white pinstrip RLBL linen suit I picked up here from RLlikes, with a pair of loafers. I could go more dramatic.

HELP!!!!

If my outfit facilitates the receipt of any phonenumbers, I will happily pass them on to those who helped as a thank you.

Considering that SoBe and Palm Beach are nothing alike in terms of scene you might want to clarify.

I understand...

We can go with, from a revised invite, "Glitzy. Glamourous. South Beach Chic. Aqua. Coral. White."

I'll stop by the chippendale supply store on my way home.

Sequins are a must!

I think they want you to dress like you're from Miami Vice.

Weird. I'm from Toronto, but I'm on Ocean Drive right now.

Dress like and old geezer. That seems to be the style around here.

Driving shoes, some pastel colored linen pants, a bright dress shirt and a white sport coat.

Pastel linens are a great idea!

Linen is always good, but black w/ pinstripes is not the most SoBe color scheme. Or Palm Beach.

Watch a few episodes of CSI Miami--Delco and Wolfe are pretty representative of what someone from So Fla might actually wear.
