My theory is - Why Not?

Personally if I have a chance to dress up, I take it. I don't necessarily think we're talking about ball dresses here, but why not get a wee bit prettied up when you have an excuse? Don't we all spend enough time in boring clothes when we're at work/home/the shops/etc?

As for what counts as dressing up - I think for girls it can mean a lot of things - long dress; short-but-classy dress; nice pants and a groovy top; etc. For guys I think it means a nice shirt, and depending on the venue it can be nice jeans or proper suit pants. Definitely not shorts of any description...

I think it does depend on the venue/ type of show as to how dressy is appropriate. I would get more dressy to go see something at His Majesty's than I would to see a community theatre production... but maybe that's just me...?
