WHAT TO WEAR TO THE OPERA | Men's Smart Casual Style

What to wear to the opera is a commonly asked question among first timers. As a Gentleman Within viewer there may come a time in your life when you're invited to an event like this, if you haven't already. And when that day ultimately does come, it's good to have an idea of what to wear for that special occasion.

I myself have not been to the opera, but I'd be lying if I said I wasn't at least curious. And so this edition of Stylin' Out features what I'd wear for an evening at the opera.

The fat lady has sung. On to you. What would you wear to an evening at the opera?

[Ikari]

While, I don't think you would be shunned for dressing more casually, I wouldn't. It's one of the rare opportunities where you can get dressed up and not look over dressed. I would go for a full suit and tie with Oxfords or at least a blazer/sportscoats with odd wool trousers and same shoes.

Great idea! Couple of theaters around my parts and thank goodness they aren't strict on dress codes

The brown oxfords are the right choice with that outfit for sure. Well done man.

What should you wear to an opera like Tosca?

[walterfoyt]

The USA has become a sartorial nightmare and videos like this are sending us further down the rabbit hole. Casual dress is not appropriate for the opera. Proper Opera appraisal is black tie. At the very least a man should wear a dark suit, black shoes and tie. Jeans, trainers, leather jackets, and sportsjackets are not proper Opera dress. To borrow the words of Tom Ford, “Dressing well is a form of good manner”

Nice outfit but entirely wrong for the opera. Maybe, and it’s a big maybe, if it was a day show but if it was the evening you should wear evening wear….
