It's my company do this Saturday evening. We are all off to watch The Producers, followed by dinner and drinks at The Hilton, Park Lane.

The question is, what to wear? The invite requests "smart casual", but what does that mean? My idea of casual is far from smart...

I would ask Michael, but every time I go to him for fashion advice, he just puts his head in his hands, shakes his head and sighs.

Well, anyway, I think I'll just go for a suit. It's that or jeans; I don't own anything in between. I've only worn my suit once, at Tulna's wedding, so it will be nice to get some use out of it, and it will feel like dressing up. Notes to self; dry cleaning, and a new shirt and tie.

Any advice from any of my less fashion-blind readers would be appreciated. What kind of ties are people wearing this century?
