What would one wear?

[Diuretic]

A kilt. Lie about your Scottish heritage. But be sure to pick a neutral tartan, you don't want a MacDonald tartan if there are any Campbells around, and vice versa of course. And you should stay away from Stewart just in case there's an Irish person around who thinks you're some sort of sassanach royalist. I think you should go for the Black Watch tartan, no problems there.

With holes in the toe?

Yep, that definitely works.

I have to wonder how many people in the US could tell one tartan from another.

But better safe than sorry, I guess.


How about a mixed bad?

My suggested sportcoat over a t-shirt, kilt, sandals with holey socks.

You can bet you would be remembered.

Underpants worn with dress kilt, underpants not worn with regular kilt. Black Watch is probably available and as I say, neutral.

Trust me, if you turn up inappropriately dressed to one of these "specialist" parties you will become a laughing stock forever shunned by the Colorado cheese and wine glitterati.

You can't go far wrong with...

For you

For Mrs Damocles

Instant social acceptance guaranteed.

Frankly, i don't know why he's fretting about appropriate clothing at all.

If these "cheese and wine" parties are anything like the ones held by British politicians then it will merely be a matter of minutes before the hostess becomes the designated cheese board and the car keys won't be the only things being tossed casually into the fruit bowl.

Well, it would have been far more exciting in Britain then.

Basically it was a sounding board for her to ask for some of our money. The wine was tasty, but really, other than "white" or "red" I couldn't tell you one from the other.

You obviously chose the wrong ensemble and were ushered out of the door before the party got into full swing, the lights dimmed and the gentlemen stood in line, naked to the world save for a large Semillion.

Well, I went and got the barrel. What did I do wrong?

You probably made some elementary mistake, such as donning a formal Riesling rather than a semi-casual Shiraz. They probably thought you a little too stuffy to watch the girls spit and swallow in the back room.
