Lunch party etiquet

[cardoon]

Can I wear fitflop flipflops with a lovely boden pencil skirt to a 90th Birthday lunch party in a Posh Edinburgh hotel?

Yes if they are shiny/ glittery party looking ones, and your top haif is glam.

No, absolutely not! Smart/dressy sandals possibly but not flip flops-it's not a bbq on a beach 🙄

hmm, top half is a white linen shirt, flipflops plain - hmm

Flip flops to somewhere smart, it’s a no from me.

DH did say I looked "Tahitian"

No no no!

Which hotel? I wouldn’t in The Balmoral or any of the more traditional/stuffy ones but I’ve stayed in a The Principal George St and it’s more relaxed.

You've hit the nail on the head Chansey

I just want to be cool and comfortable and not spend any money

Former or latter?

No. I don't think so.

Former unfortunately

Google brings up a few Trip advisor posts about people asking what the dress code is for afternoon tea and the hotel has replied with “smart casual” so I imagine you’ll be fine - probably depends more about what the others attending will think? Doubt the 90 year old will be in 5 inch heels.

Well It will raise a few eyebrows if he is

I think i'd aim a bit above flipflops. Decent flat sandals would be fine, and your pedicure should be immaculate to awesome! It's the respect factor.

My feet are my best feature

It's a no from me, sorry. Sparkly flip flops or plain sandals would be ok but not plain fit flops.

Fit flops are not smart casual

Doubt the 90 year old will be in 5 inch heels.

Doubt the 90 year old will think beachwear is suitable for lunch.

Well, funnily enough I was in the Balmoral for afternoon tea yesterday, and you will be absolutely totally fine wearing them - I assume it’s lulus or similar you have?

Have had a rake around and found these that I bought in the sale last year. They'll do won't they?

cardoon they will be perfect!

Looks like you're sorted.
