DEL.ICIO.USWhat to Wear?
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Holiday season is party season, so what are you wearing to all the festive fetes the ATL will be throwing over the next few weeks?
Do invitations spell out clearly enough what you’re supposed to wear?
Guys usually have it a little easier. “Black tie” is pretty easy to figure out. (Although S.B. doesn’t actually recommend a plain old black tie/cumberbund set. Consider garnet, tartan plaid, paisley or houndstooth instead. H. Stockton has a fab selection. You don’t want to look like a waiter, do you?)
It’s not uncommon to show up at event and see people in everything from sequined pantsuits to ball gowns. Last night, at the Atlanta Press Club holiday author’s party at the new World of Coca Cola, we saw attire ranging from tux to jeans and everything in between.
But it can be puzzling trying to figure out what to wear sometimes.
At the Nov. 10 Jaden’s Ladder benefit, hosted by Andruw and Nicole Jones, the attire was “Atlanta chic,” which I hope meant a black dress and fur-trimmed jacket, because that’s what I wore. The invitation to the Nov. 28 Trump Towers Atlanta reception had a plaintive ring to it: “Cocktail attire please.”
My favorite sartorial directive has to be from “Amuse’UM,” coming up Feb. 9 at the Children’s Museum of Atlanta. Attire for the event, chaired by Amy Barnes with Bert and Stacey Weiss as honorary chairs, is “playground chic.”
Do you have your giant lego hair accessories ready?

I feel like Charlie Brown….even ‘back in the day’ I did not get invites to parties—-especially the dressing up kind. To the rest of you look fab!
