    Ithink that the opp shop idea was really fro those girls who didnt have dresses that would do for the occasion.
    An evening dress for a coctail party can cost as much as a set of leathers, so finding a really stilish dress at an opp shop is a great idea for the girls.
    As for the guys, a black suit coat, button shirt and tie with good casual pants and dress shoes id the go, bad taste is to arrive in jeans or cammo gear.
    Dark colours are for winter, light colours for summer.
    The tie is a must for the men, and cannot be removed for the entrie event ( unless they are weylaid by a sexy waitress, then we dont want too much information)
    Dress shoes like hush puppies, not boots or sports shoes no matter how flash or exspensive they are.
    As for the shirt colour, look at what colours are in for mens fashions at the moment and try to match a tie to that.
    Be glad its not a "Black tie" party because that would mean "tails"
    or a "white tie" party for that would mean white shirt and tie, black vest and pants and patient leather shoes!

    So do i have to polish my gumboots?

    Now lets think, hat, shirt, coat, pants, socks, shoes and a BLINDFOLD, and something strong to drink.
    Feel the fear and do it anyway

    Don't confuse education with intelligence.
    There are alot of highly educated idiots out there.
