To wear tan wedges and bag to a white party?

We’re going to a white party where you have to wear all white. Never been to one before and wouldn’t be my choice but a big family event we can’t get out of … anyway …. For those who have been to a white party- I’m trying to not pack (flying with a basic airline hang luggage only) more than I need to and the shoes I’m wearing for the main event and bag are tan coloured. Is this ok to also wear to a white party?! Reluctant to spend on a suitcase to carry more across and also money on white accessories I’ll never wear again.

Any Insights much appreciated!

Honestly agog people still have white parties post Diddy! I know he didn't invent the concept, but they're synonymous.

Tan accessories are fine, OP.

This was my first thought too!

We are going to a white party next week, my DS will be wearing a white T-shirt but demin shorts and I am sure DH will only be giving a nod to the theme.

Wish we were going to the neon party instead.

Two things that amaze me.

  1. Anyone would be so controlling as to host a party and tell everyone what to wear.
  2. Anyone would accept an invitation from someone who wants to control what they wear at their party.

Each to their own but it's bloody strange.

I can guarantee there'll be at least a couple of people not wearing white, or only part white.

Tan accessories are fine. Daft and wasteful to spend money on things you'll never use again.

Tan / cream / beige / ivory / silver / gold or other neutrals would all be ok.

Thanks so my outfit is off white- ivory like a wedding colour rather than bright white and then I can use my accessories which will add warmth

I’ve never heard of a white party. What’s the point of it?

Same! I’m not sure - but I’m very pale so it isn’t my colour 🙈😬

Would be fine for me - I've done it before and loads of other people did too.

I take it you're wearing a white outfit? Yes I would definitely wear the shoes you already have, it'll be fine!

Plump82 · 18/07/2025 15:17

Definitely and I'm 99% sure there will be other people with other colours.
