Answer 1

If you have any class you will. That's why they call it special

Answer 2

well, it depends. If you are the plaintiff you dress up. Leave Ipod at home, turn cell phone off.
If you are the defendant and you managed to make bail then a clean shirt is a must. Otherwise you wear your jail overalls and slippers. And maybe cuffs and belly chains. But your attorney should look good.
Don't even bother with your Ipod,because if you are convicted they won't let you have in jail. leave your cell with your Lawyer.

If you are getting married because you want to, YES! get dressed up. Invite your friends Buy corsages, and don't forget the rings.
If you are getting married because you are pregnant, or got someone pregnant, more casual clothes could work. Depending on how much time you were given to get the wedding together, corsages are nice, or a bouquet would be tasteful. IF you are getting married on your lunch hour, (and people do this) wear clean pressed work clothes or if you work on the road crew of a construction site, take a clean shirt and good shoes with you to change into. Turn off the Ipod and cell phone.

Job interviews, women dark suits, low heels or very plain pants outfit. subdued makeup and jewelry. a ring and watch only. NO Bling!
Men, dark slacks, pressed shirt, shined shoes, and if it is really special a tie. No Bling.
Have someone who is literate proof read your resume for spelling and punctuation.
Practice your interviewing skills, no cussing, no ethinic slang. Sit up straight. Answer the questions asked. Don't lie about your references. be organized, have your interview information together. Leave your cell phone on vibrate. Do NOT interupt interview to answer your phone. Take of your Ipod.

Funerals, subdued clothing, no bling, no Ipods, no cell phones on. sit quietly, if it is a relgious funeral watch what others are doing, stand when they stand, sit when they sit.

All this used to be common sense...I wonder what happened.

Answer 3

If you want to "fit in" then of course you need to dress for important occasions. If you don't care, then I wouldn't really worry about it! However, if that important occasion is something important for example; your childs graduation, or dinner party, then I think it's important to make your children feel comfortable and not be embarrassed by the fact that their mother or father aren't dressed appropriately. Dressing up for occasions can be fun. Especially if it's something you don't do too often. Try to find ways to enjoy it and take the time out to really compliment your significant other, and soak up the compliments yourself!

Answer 4

Yes, when there is a formal or serious event. We need to be dressed in our best. At a funeral, we show respect by wearing our best clothes. At a wedding, we do the same, but we add a little fun to the outfit.


If you dress properly for an event you are showing you take personal pride in your appearance and you tell people how you want to be treated.

Answer 5

A few years back, I had jury duty. I dressed in a dress, and heels, nothing fancy, just an dress I would wear to church. Everyone else had on t-shirts and jeans. I understand that they wanted to be comfortable, sitting all day in a courtroom, but I thought it showed a lack of respect for everyone concerned. The lawers had on suits, the accused had a woman lawyer, and I was surprised at her, I was dressed better than she was, she just had on a knit top, and a voile print skirt.
Yes, we do need to dress up for certain occasions. It shows respect for the deceased, the bride, the judge, the clergy.
And it is fun to put on the party clothes.
And I will tell a story on myself. I went to the funeral of a co-worker's daughter in law, she died of cancer. I had just lost a lot of weight, and had only bought one outfit, a nice pair of beige slacks, and a coordinated nice blouse. I had on make-up, my hair was done, my outfit and shoes and purse matched. I didn't make a lot of money, and I work in an industry where where the workers provide their own uniforms. I had bought some of those, I had to keep up at work. I had thought to show up, go see the deceased, and apologize to the co-worker, briefly. Wrong! The co-worker showed up very late to the visitation, saw me in the parking lot, and yelled, and I do mean yelled at me for the way I looked. Another co-worker stuck up for me, and said, you know ------- didn't mean any disrespect, you know her better than that. She lost all that weight! It didn't matter, she had more to say, she said the smile on my face was not appropriate, and I shouldn't have come. She was wrong to yell, wrong to deliberately embarrass me in front of others, and I should have left. She took me to task about it later at work, too. She told me she did expect me to go buy black to the funeral. I had never met the deceased, and knew her son from school, but in a class of 1000 kids, had never spoken to him. The person who came to my rescue was not wearing black, either!
So, the moral of the story is, dress appropriately, or face ridicule and persecution! LOL.

Answer 6

You need to dress according to the occassion or at least in slack/skirt and a nice shirt plus bring a tie and jacket if you're a man.

Answer 7

First of all let me correct your spelling and grammar. It should be there, not their, and it should be properly, not proper. With that out of the way, yes, you should dress properly no matter what the occasion is.

Answer 8

I'm glad you asked that question because it really bothers me when people don't dress appropriately.

There are four occasions that I very, very strongly feel people need to dress up for that people are slipping at!

1. weddings
2. funerals
3. job interviews
4. going to court

A woman could wear a conservative little black dress to any of these events, and a man could wear a basic dress shirt and black pants and look perfectly appropriate... even for people who seldom dress up, they can spend $40 on this one outfit on sale at a department store, or any day at target, and look nice for any of these things.

Answer 9

Yes, get out those "Sunday go to church" clothes [coat, dress shirt, and necktie]. If warranted, wear a tuxedo.

If you are a woman, wear a dress or business suit, pantyhose, and dress shoes [no sneakers].

Answer 10

usually an important occasion is set up as such so people come dressed in their "sunday best".
It is usually a celebration of sorts, so folks dress up.
A tradition that has gone on for centuries.
Unless your important occasion specifies a dress codes, such as a tattoo, s&m convention, for instance; or a star wars/star trek convention.... you get my drift......I hope..........

Answer 11

why would you call it an important occasion and not think automatically that it is appropriate to dress to honor its importance?
