What can I wear to a ballet?

What can I wear to a ballet? I am going to attend a ballet with my boyfriend. Ive never been to one so I really don’t know what my apparel should be. My boyfriend is going to wear gray slacks & blue dress shirt.

A ballet is a special event. An afternoon performance is not as dressy as an evening event. Something in good taste is in order. Since your boyfriend is wearing gray slacks and a blue dress shirt you can wear a dress, pants or a skirt with a solid color blouse. Dress up your outfit with some pretty jewelry and / or clutch bag. If the event is in the evening dress up. A little black dress (LBD), long or short or dressy pants or a dressy skirt and a top, would be appropriate. If the weather is cool bring a shawl or jacket.  Today you see every type of wearing apparel at the ballet so do not be surprised. Some people will be very dressed up and others dressed way too casual looking.

Build A Basic Wardrobe
There is no perfect basic wardrobe that applies to all. A basic wardrobe takes into consideration lifestyle or clothing for all of our activities. If you are a hockey coach your wardrobe is going to be a lot different than a corporate lawyer’s. However when we choose a basic article of clothing it is something we should plan on wearing many times (getting our money’s worth). These items are like good investments since they will reward us many times in the future. When buying basics purchase quality pieces, not necessarily the most expensive.
