Question: What to wear to see the ballet!?
Hi everyone! In December, my Mom & I are going to see the Joffrey Ballet in Chicago (The Nutcracker) at the Auditorium Theater!. It's at 7:00 p!.m!. on a Friday night!.

Do you think people will be dressed fancy, or are casual clothes OK!? I've never been to the ballet before & have no idea what to expect!. I'm not very girly & usually wear jeans, a t-shirt & my vans!.

Thanks in advance!

Even though it shouldn't art tends to be a bit elitist, so as much as you're free to dress however you want or feel comfortable in people tend to dress well to see this kind of acts!.
It depends on the theater and the occasion, for example there's prime galas where you should be dressed really fancy and just a regular act that you could go in regular clothes but not in jeans and t-shirt!.
I recommend that you wear something Casual, anything but jeans, or you can try jeans with a very elegant top!. You don't need to be in a long dress, but just a little bit more elegant than usual!.
At least that's what i've seen!.
Good Luck!

Usually, for me it depends on which section of the theatre you are sitting in!. If you are sitting in the top balcony facing the stage, that is the dress section and there you get the occasional chance of dressing, well, fancy! But if you are sitting in a normal seat sure, use casual clothes but add a touch of flair, like jewelry!. This just signifies the occasion!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Well I have ever been to ballet in London when I was younger but it probably depends what the theatre is like! If it's a big theatre/opera house, you should probably wear something pretty smart - not a suit or ballgown/evening dress but dont go in jeans!. If it's smaller it's probably a bit more relaxed!. I hope that helps and enjoy the ballet!Www@QuestionHome@Com
