You don’t mind going to theaters or the movies so long as you can walk comfortably in your outfit. This is the main reason that you carefully choose the right shoes, pants or dress to wear. A good outfit should not prevent you from moving around comfortably. That’s why Techwear offers style and comfort in all their clothing line collection including comfortable women’s clothing – the women’s techwear.

There are instances though that you will have to leave comfort behind when situations call for it. For example, when watching a classical theater. In this post, we bring to you what to wear when watching a theater without jeopardizing style and comfort.
What To Wear To A Theater Performance
It’s nice to dress festively when you go out on a night out. An evening at the theater for a beautiful classical piece, a cabaret show, or a musical requires a nice outfit. If you are going to attend a concert or visit a theater there are sometimes some (unwritten) dress codes. Not that these are strictly enforced, but it can be strange when someone deviates from these dress codes.
A NIGHT OUT
To make sure you go to the theater properly dressed, we have drawn up a few guidelines for each type of theater. The dress code for a classical concert is neat and chic. Most visitors will dress accordingly. Showing up in a casual outfit will make you look out of place. You will not even be admitted to some concert halls. A less chic dress code applies to a theater visit than to a classical concert. Keep an eye on it! The dress code differs per theater but also depends on what piece you are going to see. A performance by a classical ballet company requires a slightly neater outfit than when you visit a cabaret show or musical.
CLASSICAL CONCERT
The dress code for a classical concert is neat and chic. Most visitors will dress accordingly. Showing up in a casual outfit will make you look out of place. You will not even be admitted to some concert halls. For a visit to a classical concert, gentlemen wear a nice suit or neat trousers in combination with a shirt and a blazer. If you want to go safe, it is best to choose a suit, or trousers and blazer, in a dark color. Combine this with smart shoes. Think of leather brogues or loafers. In terms of accessories, you can wear a nice watch. Ladieswear a neat dress, a skirt with a nice top or a trouser suit. As a woman, you have more choice in terms of colors. In any case, make sure that the colors go well together and are not too loud. For example, bright pink is not a good idea. Jewelry really completes your outfit. Choose elegant jewelry such as a necklace with a beautiful charm of chic earrings. As regards the shoes you choose nice heels or ballet flats and when it is colder, elegant boots.
THE THEATER
A less chic dress code applies to a theater visit than to a classical concert. Keep an eye on it! The dress code also differs per theater but also depends on what kind of piece you are going to see. A performance by a classical ballet company requires a slightly neater outfit than when you visit a cabaret show or musical. In general, the dress code is Casual Chic, ie informal but elegant. Men can opt for trousers or neat dark jeans in combination with a shirt. For ladies, a neat dress is a good choice.
POP CONCERT
A pop concert is a casual occasion. So wear what you feel comfortable in. It’s nice to dress a bit festive. You can do this by wearing beautiful jewelry or going for clothes in a cheerful color. In terms of shoes, it is best to wear comfortable shoes so that you can stand or dance all night long. Pop concerts can be outdoors or on a large stage. That’s why it’s good to dress in layers because in the crowd it can be very hot while afterward (or at the bar) it is a bit cooler.
