Do not go to the theater with a work bag

In the theater, you should arrive with a clutch or a small bag on a thin strap or chain. Many theaters even specify dress code requirements on their websites, asking not to come with large bags, as it can be dangerous. This massive accessory will have to be placed on the floor, and in the dark, other viewers might not see it.

When eating, there should not be massive jewelry

Large rings and bracelets with pendants are not the best choice when visiting a restaurant or cafe. Such jewelry can catch on plates, utensils, and make unnecessary noises. Therefore, it is better to limit yourself to concise accessories.

At home, when expecting guests, do not overdress

Greeting guests at home dressed like a peacock is bad form. Luxurious dresses and expensive jewelry should be saved for outings, while for home celebrations, choose jeans with a blouse or a mid-length skirt and a simple top.

But do not greet in a robe either

In fact, a dressing gown is clothing worn in the time period after waking up and getting dressed for breakfast, or between undressing before bedtime and going to bed. Dressing gowns are not meant for walking around the house all day, let alone greeting guests.

And do not offer slippers to guests either

We consider this a manifestation of hospitality, but such care is a gross violation of etiquette. Guests come to you beautifully dressed, but ill-fitting shoes will in no way complement an elegant look. Moreover, it is unhygienic. In case of important guests, it is better to provide disposable slippers.

Do not come to an event in boots

Even the most elegant and expensive boots are not suitable for celebrations in a restaurant or official receptions. Etiquette experts recommend changing into shoes.

Wear a bikini only at the beach

A bikini is designed to get more sun and achieve an even tan. This is not possible in a pool, so you should wear a one-piece swimsuit.

For online meetings, choose concise clothing in one tone

In the era of remote work, etiquette for video calls has appeared. Jackets and ties can be left for in-person meetings, but T-shirts with prints are not the best option either. It is advisable to choose a single-tone blouse or other concise clothing cut.

Do not wear dresses with bare shoulders or expensive flashy jewelry to work events

In an informal atmosphere, you might want to make a splash among colleagues, but it is better to know the measure. Deep necklines or extreme minis are bad form. Also massive and expensive accessories. It is better to wear an elegant dress and emphasize attractiveness not with cutouts, but with subtler techniques. For example, make an accent with jewelry on the wrist or unusual sleeves.

Do not wear glasses on your head

The habit of wearing glasses on your head is a violation of etiquette. Fashion historian Alexander Vasilyev called it a reincarnation of a kokoshnik. To avoid being called ignorant, it is advisable to have a case in your bag where you can put the glasses.
