What is "dress code" for school dinner in Lakewood? Nice weekday clothing? Shabbos clothing? Black tie only?

Not black tie Smile

Casual shabbos/very nice weekday with a shabbos sheitel and makeup.

I always wear weekday clothing and wig, and so do most other parents. The people being honored usually dress up.

What??? I always thought school dinners were super fancy- like totally wedding wear. Fancy shabbos at LEAST. Mind you, I haven't been to one since 12th grade when seniors were invited- but it was in a hotel and super fancy. Did things change that much since 8 years ago???

Tailored shabbos. Don't wear nice weekday or you'll feel out of place.

No the dinner took place in Manhattan, school located in Brooklyn. The etiquette for Lakewood is that different?

Another vote for Shabbos clothing. Bris clothing is a bit under-dressed.

I went to one last night. I wore something I would wear for shabbos but is not fancy. (Zara tunic) with heels and shabbos shaitel and makeup. I saw ppl dressed much fancier and also some ppl dressed much plainer.

I have never gone to any of my kids school dinners, but am attending one tomorrow night.
What do people wear to a yeshivish school dinner in Far Rockaway/Five towns?

(When I was a kid, dinners were black tie and my mom would wear what she'd wear to a wedding!)

Fast forward to 2022:
Real shabbos? or more of what I see these days at vorts - nice weekday?
