If you are the host of the party and want to stipulate a dress code, by all means do. Just spare a thought for your guests. Don’t make up an innovative dress code such as ‘relaxed’ or ‘Sunday casual’ – no one will know what you mean and your guests won’t thank you. To coin a phrase from Donald Rumsfeld, stick to known knowns then everyone will understand. Start using unknown unknowns and there is no telling what will happen.
Also a word of warning if you are holding a fancy dress party – make sure the theme is clearly shown on the invitation and also that it is compulsory. There is nothing worse (or more embarrassing for your guests) if only a handful of people turn up as their favourite Super Heros whilst everyone else is dressed normally.
