If someone wants to visit a cultural event these days, the offer is really wide. Theaters are filling their programs with new performances, there are countless concerts or exhibitions everywhere. Once again, the question mark with the dress code problem is starting to flash in the minds of many of us. Especially nowadays, when many people care less and less about formalities, unpleasant situations can arise from an inappropriate outfit. Therefore, in the next edition of our Style Guide, we are taking aim at the dilemma of how to attend any event with ease.
Are you going to the cinema?
Cinema attire should definitely be comfortable, but leave the baggy sweatpants and old sweatshirt at home. Comfort can also be stylish. Wear well-fitting jeans and a sweater.
You'll look even better in a sweater with a collar than in a classic crew neck. For that, a non-traditional shirt jacket and scarf will keep your neck warm on the road.
Rock, jazz, pop
Whether you're going for a nice evening at a jazz club or to the Old Market Square to see your favorite band perform, it never hurts to dress up a bit. You need to feel comfortable but look good at the same time. Combine a simple cotton turtleneck that doesn't bother your neck with dark blue jeans. Throw a thicker shirt on top, which you can then take off in the midst of dancing.
Theater
If you go to any theater performance today, at first glance you will notice that there are people around you dressed in everything from sweatshirts to suits. But what is appropriate and what is not? The question should rather be, what kind of performance am I going to? Is it a premiere? Am I going to the Slovak National Theater or a student performance? If you are embarrassed, remember, it is always better to be overdressed than underdressed.
The golden mean, which never disappoints, is an elegant jacket complemented by discreet cotton trousers. Put on a stretch shirt that is soft and pleasant to the body and you will feel extremely comfortable.
Opera or classical music
The next time you're standing in front of your wardrobe wondering if you really need to wear a suit to a classical music concert or the opera, stop right now. This rule is a no-brainer. A suit is a basic element, and anything less than elegant will make you look poorly dressed.
If you want to make an impression, a black tuxedo à la James Bond is unbeatable. However, you will look just as good in a black or navy suit.
