This is pretty far off-topic but this is the only Forum I inhabit and the members here are a fount of wisdom and advice on many many things.
The scenario: I've been given a ticket to a corporate hospitality box at Twickenham for a Six Nations match (no, I'm not giving it away!). The last time I was there was watching Glaws get thrashed by our nemesis Bath in the John Player Cup Final (i.e. centuries ago) and our seats were as far from the pitch as is possible. I know I am extremely lucky to be given this chance and I'm not going to miss it. However, I am freaked out by the dress code! Here in the sticks my dress code is jeans, tops (smartish versions for work), waterproofs and sensible shoes/boots and that's about it (there is an ancient dress lurking somewhere), and Ingrid Bergman I am not.
I won't know anyone else and the person I'm going with I don't know well. My friends aren't 'corporate' or rugby types either - one famously said "why do they pick up the ball and run towards the goal posts?" - so HELP!! What on earth do I wear? The phrase 'smart casual' causes terror..... Nice coat, wellies, smart black jeans, comfy shoes, high heels, ballgown, waterproof, the contents of a jewellery shop?? I presume there are seats outside the box so something warm? (I look daft in a hat though).
