Don't bring clients? I'd be inclined to wear my most edgy something, the thing I don't get the opportunity to wear very much. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-to-wear-play#post-1171321 Wed, 19 Feb 2014 12:38:14 +0000 unfrumped 1171321@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ditto a lot if above. Our rep theater is where I can step outside of workwear. I do occasionally wear dark jeans but can add a special top or boots or heels , or more drama in scarf or jewelry, but also experiment with pants or skirt combos. Just nothing too " fancy" or cocktail- glam--more smart casual, leather jacket or fun topper , one element of sparkle or metal, that sort of thing.<br /> You have so many great items and<br /> looks for this type of occasion. I would tend to go a bit simple but with a great jacket or boots. Nonchalant but edgy or interesting. Our theater runs cold for sitting still but yours may be toasty. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-to-wear-play#post-1171298 Wed, 19 Feb 2014 12:12:39 +0000 Karie 1171298@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Is this a Broadway touring company or local community theater? Having been to both, dress is definitely more casual for community theater. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-to-wear-play#post-1171212 Wed, 19 Feb 2014 06:47:34 +0000 rachylou 1171212@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'd say less formal, nor necessarily less fancy. But a mature theme...that actually sounds like jeans to me... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-to-wear-play#post-1171147 Wed, 19 Feb 2014 04:37:04 +0000 rabbit 1171147@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Usually the more experimental plays I've been too in smaller theaters&nbsp;(and I'd include in that ones where somebody is mostly naked), attract an arty crowd of all ages and incomes (assuming it's not in the city's premier theater and&nbsp;the ticket prices aren't super high). &nbsp; The theater people I know&nbsp;wear whatever the heck they want to although it tends to be more counter-culture, experimental,&nbsp;or vintage than mainstream in my experience. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-to-wear-play#post-1171035 Wed, 19 Feb 2014 02:34:11 +0000 JAileen 1171035@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>We go to community theater every month. We see everything, from jeans and old tees, to super dressy ladies-who-lunch-wear. I usually wear slacks, sweater, scarf, and boots. I'm middle of the road. Your style is certainly more avant garde, so really anything would work, I think.</p> <p>BTW, quite a few of the plays we've seen have been mature themed. I think the theater director wants to stretch our boundaries and thinking. Sometimes it's uncomfortable, but other times it's thought provoking. I hope you enjoy it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-to-wear-play#post-1171018 Wed, 19 Feb 2014 02:09:49 +0000 Angie 1171018@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Is there an item in your wardrobe you really feel like wearing?&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-to-wear-play#post-1170997 Wed, 19 Feb 2014 01:56:16 +0000 Thistle 1170997@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sadly, where I live, theater is nice jeans. Maybe a step up from that. Much more and you stand out. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-to-wear-play#post-1170974 Wed, 19 Feb 2014 01:20:13 +0000 El Cee 1170974@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Theater here (in CT) is definitely less dressy than opera. Smart casual is seemingly the preferred attire, although you see folks on both sides of the casual/dressy spectrum. At a&nbsp;"mature themed" play, you&nbsp;might see less conservative attire and&nbsp;more fun/funky nightclub wear. You have so many great pieces in your wardrobe that would make a statement. Off the top of my head --&nbsp;How about your black silk jumpsuit with one of your fab jackets (MSGM?), an equally fab necklace and a great pair of heels. I also think your circus striped pants with an arty topper and killer boots would be sharp. And then, there is always leather. Have fun! I am sure that whatever you wear will be awesome.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-to-wear-play#post-1170955 Wed, 19 Feb 2014 01:06:08 +0000 Missey 1170955@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You could likely get away with a more avant garde dressing style, considering this is a "mature themed" play.&nbsp; With plys you can still dress up, but I think you can get away with more "artistic" styling </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-to-wear-play#post-1170947 Wed, 19 Feb 2014 01:02:20 +0000 April 1170947@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think so too, Anna,&nbsp;though I'm not sure what I'm basing that on since I've been to more operas than plays. &nbsp;I think "smart casual" is usually fine for theater -- especially if the play is a little bit non-mainstream. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-to-wear-play#post-1170926 Wed, 19 Feb 2014 00:44:41 +0000 annagybe 1170926@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A friend of mine scored an extra ticket to a mature themed play tomorrow. Basically my friend was warned to not bring clients which why I get to go. We'll also be attending a wine and snack reception prior to the show. I assume plays are less dressy than the opera. </p>
