My grandma used to get dressed up to go to the DOCTOR - even if she was sick, the thought of going to the doctor in her old housedress was more than she could bear! That's a little excessive, but I don't know why people look like slobs at the theater and such. I'm not saying we should go back to the white gloves days, but there are ways to look nice and still be comfortable...elastic waist dress pants and a nice sweater, or a loose dress would work. It's really MORE comfortable than jeans. I think people who wear jeans to the theater and such still think it's the 60's and they're making some kind of big statement...little do they realize that all the people who actually made those big statements are now probably wearing $12,000 Chanel suits.

As for guys, you can wear a collarless shirt and khakis...again no less comfy than jeans.

I think that all cellphones should be left at the door when attending a movie or any sort of live performance...those who do not comply have the phone taken from them.
