Sue Bagg-Foreman has some fashion words of wisdom for those of you (particularly you gentlemen) who are wrestling with the phrase "dressy casual" as the dress code for the May 15 gala at the Coliseum.
Here are her thoughts on the matter: Here in Winter Park, for the men it means no tie and maybe even no jacket if the temperature goes above 80 degrees. No tennis shoes unless your feet hurt, in which case pick a pair where your toes don't stick through the end. You could go as casual as the Lawton Chiles uniform (EDITOR: He was a past governor of Fla. and a former U.S. Senator, in case you've forgotten) of khaki pants and nice plaid or beach shirt. Probably not hot weather golf attire. Closed-toe shoes. You could also go to dress pants, an open collar shirt and sport jacket.
In other cities, dressy casual means a tie for sure. I say let the guys decide what's comfortable and what they want for the class picture.
For the ladies: Whatever you look good in. Pants suit, dress with jacket, sun dress (but who has the arms we want to let out of their caves), flats or heels. Sort of the cocktail look but maybe more the outdoor dressy.
Summary: Not too dressy, not too messy. Whatever you have that you like and feel comfortable in. The temperature could be 75 or 85 that evening.
