Dallas Symphony Attire?

I agree with all the other postings, you will see a little of everything. I think a suit is appropriate for hubby and dress slacks and a nice top would do for you...but, go crazy and play dress up! You will really enjoy it!!

The great thing about Texas is that you can get away with a lot as far as dress. I have actually seen people wear jeans to these events. You'll also see people wearing more formal dresses. I would say that if you want to wear dress slacks and a nice top, you will be fine and not feel out of place. However, it's your special night, I would dress up a little and go with the dress. How often do you get a chance to do that! Same with your husband. Mine wears khakis and a dress shirt, but a suit is probably a little more appropriate. Plus it can get cold in there. If he has a suit jacket, it might be a great way for you to keep warm :) Enjoy your night out!!!!

My daughter performs at the Meyerson several times a season. Although I do see many different things, I do not find casual appropriate nor a Texas thing (I am third generation). I think dress slacks would be just fine and definitely a coat and tie for your hubby. You can, of course, pull out all the stops and really dress up as I have done a few times. I hope you have a wonderful time as it is a gorgeous venue........you have a wonderful hubby!

S.,
Hello. My husband and I go to the symphony a few times a year, so here is my advice. If you are sitting in general admission, then dress slacks and nice top/jacket would be very appropriate. If you are sitting in the upper level box seats, then I might recommend something dressier, as in a dressier suit or dress. Your husband can wear a suit or nice dress slacks with a nice shirt. I have seen a little bit of everything there, so it's hard to go too wrong, but if you want to blend in, I would recommend the type of clothing you might wear to a very nice restaurant. Hope that helps, and enjoy your evening!!

I would say dressy casual is fine. I find that people dress in all kinds of ways now. I always like to dress up a little to go cause its more fun but a nice pant and dressy blouse would be fine and a sport jaket or just a shirt and tie would be fine for the guy. Have fun, A. J

Hi S., how wonderful! Yes, nice slacks and top will be fine for you( you may want to bring a little jacket in case they freeze everyone out). My husband wore dark slacks, a nice shirt and sports jacket and looked very appropriate. We had so much fun! Isn't it great when our hubbys do something so unexpected! Enjoy! Blessings, J.
