Lounge suit dress code

[Adviceplease8181]

What shall I wear?!

Have a do tonight and presumed lounge meant casual but have Googled and it suggests a gown! Shit!

Any advice? Is a gown strictly necessary?

No, not a long 'gown'. Just a 'cocktail dress' - otherwise known as a smart party dress, or LBD!

LBD it is! Thank you.

I'm sure you'll look perfect!

Glad you could sort it OP but you've got me chuckling at the idea of loads of people milling around in loungewear!

I think you might have the wrong end of the stick, flugelhorn811. And I hope I'm not preaching, but a 'lounge suit' for men is a smart suit plus a tie must be worn. When the OP saw the word 'gown' that implied to her a full length smart party dress.

Loungewear is something completely different - probably only worn in your own home!!

I think flugelhorn was referring to the op thinking loung meant casual when in fact it is actually smart.

lounge

Yes, me too. But dress codes are fraught with problems! Particularly if one isn't familiar with them!

@GnothiSeafton I did realise that - and as @LooksBetterWithAFilter says, I was referring to OP's reference to casual wear.

Wore an LBD with black tights and boots. Had a fantastic night and very relieved I didn’t rock up in a velour suit or a ball gown.

Thanks!
