I'd try to get him to dress a bit more upscale- he wants promotion, they are hosting a casino night- think James Bond - psuedo tuxedo- black shirt, black tie- smart dress pants- for you- I'd wear something glitzy- or little black dress with bling- high heels.

I agree with this.

Thanks for the advice. We're going to inquire about attire requirements.

If he thinks there will be management there, the best rule to follow, is to dress for the job you want not the job you have.

I think that depends on the context. If upper management is taking you golfing or out on their yacht, you can't show up in a suit. I think it's more important to show that you can dress for the occasion and know what is appropriate.

[celtic_catgirl]

True, but I was sort of thinking of it from the angle of what would the memebers of management wear to a nice dinner party at a co-workers home and then wear that.

[loolica]

Ah! That makes sense.

For you, if your purse is big enough, carry a pair of informal flats or even cute flip flops, and if you are too dressy when you get there, take your dressy shoes off and put on the flats or sandals. It will instantly make your outfit less formal.

Ditto for your partner: if he wears a pair of nicer shoes rather than tennies, his outfit will look a little "nicer", and men can get away with being a little more formal more easily than women.

There is good advice here, but honestly I would ask them about it. Black tie, dressy, casual? The invite may or may not have said. I've attended some events that were highly dressy but the invite did not specify this.

[pearlbeachlady]

Yeah you're right. Thanks for the advice. We're going to inquire further.
