Evening dress or suit 👠🤵
A classic of the genre. You enter the hall, and everyone understands: "Oh, this person clearly knows a lot about opera." Cons: if the play turns out to be boring, it is uncomfortable to sleep in a suit.
Little black dress / formal jacket 🖤
A universal option. Suitable for both "Hamlet" and a musical. Pro: you look elegant, but not over the top. Cons: there will always be someone who will be wearing diamonds the size of an apple.
Casual (jeans and a T-shirt) 👖👕
Yes, this also happens. Especially if it is a trendy experimental theater. You can look relaxed and modern. But be prepared for the looks of grannies in furs who will look at you as if you went on stage without a costume.
Glamour ✨
A sequin dress, glitter, heels. Everything sparkles! Minus: attention will be focused on you more than on the actors. And if your outfit rustles louder than the applause, then this is already a performance within a performance.
Result 🎭
The main thing is to choose something that you are comfortable in, but with a touch of festivity. The theater is not a market or an office, it is a place where you can afford a little more elegance.
In general, it doesn’t matter what you are wearing. It is much more important who you are going with. After all, the best “accessory” in the theater is a companion who will whisper during the intermission: “Let's go for champagne?” 🥂😉
