We live in a very informal country. DH owns one navy blazer that he keeps in the closet at my parents' house in NJ because that's the only place he might ever need it! He works in Dockers and button down shirts. The kids live in shorts and t-shirts for 8 months of the year, jeans or sweatpants or leggings and sweatshirts for the other 4 months. Only one DD13 is into fancy dressing. My other DD13 is absolutely not. Me, I like a good excuse to dress up!! Here's the other thing. As parents of a bunch of strong minded kids, we have, over the years, had to "choose our battles" carefully. Clothing has never been a battle we would fight (well, at long as they were covered!). So I need to be gentle about how I guide them for planning for dinner outfits, and "formal night" wear. For the boys it's always easier. They can all wear Dockers-type pants and a button down shirt or a polo shirt. Hopefully with shoes but likely with clean sneakers. DD13 who loves to dress up - the only issue will be limiting her packing!! DD13 who doesn't will be more difficult. I'll leave it at that. There's that privacy issue here. Me, I'll have fun dressing for dinner! And I will enjoy seeing my gang in whatever each of their personal definition is of "nice clothes". Yet another thumbs' up for DCL, where we can be ourselves and feel great about it! I'm thinking of making sweatshirts for us with some of the great DISigns I've been lucky enough to get. When we were in WDW 2 years ago, I made up my own design
- not bad if I do say so myself! Wonder if sweatshirts or t-shirts make more sense for a June cruise to Canada...??
