Madalas may dress code sa mga imbitasyon ng party o event—gaya ng ‘Black tie’ o ‘Smart casual.’

Tinutulungan tayo ng dress codes na ma-meet ang expectations ng host at maitakda ang tono ng okasyon.

Mahalaga rin ito dahil kung ano ang tingin mong “sobra” ay maaaring “kulang” para sa iba.

Kaya makakatulong ang kaunting research, lalo na kung walang nakalagay na dress code—at sabi ni Kudrat Makkar, Creative Director ng Mastani, walang masama sa pagtanong sa host kung ano ang dapat isuot.

“I would definitely double-check the dress code.”

I have learnt it the hard way. I think coming from an Indian background, historically we've grown up going to weddings overdressed, but it's because everyone's overdressed. We don't feel overdressed. I think inherently in Australia, everyone's underdressed.

At iyan ang dahilan kung bakit may dress code.

One simple tip

Sabi ni Joshua Ton, isang bespoke tailor mula Melbourne, kahit wala tayong alam tungkol sa dress code, may ilang general rules na maaari pa rin nating sundin.

“Darker colours for more formal events, lighter colours for less formal “For women, something longer if it's more formal, so below the knee. Usually those are good rules.”

You would wear an ‘odd suit’, we call it: sports jacket, trouser, something that doesn't match in fabric.
