And yet, I am pretty clueless when it comes to these stringent attire rules, which is especially frustrating because I have a lot of anxiety about underdressing for events (and would almost always prefer to overdress!). I ponder it&#;s safe to say dress codes, like a lot of etiquette rules made a billion years ago by (probably) straight people, are outdated and often even discriminatory, especially when it comes to gender. (While we&#;re getting into it: Dress codes implemented at restaurants are also often employed with racist and/or classist motives.)
When it comes to weddings and other similar formal events, dress codes are expected. But sometimes I think even people specifying a dress code don&#;t really know what they mean! I went to a weddin
