What do you wear to an art gallery?

Answer 1

It depends on your location. In most cases- black. Little black dress for a woman, a black jacket for a man. Or you can get creative and wear that velvet purple jacket, or grandma's old hat. When in doubt, go the conservative-dressy route. When you want to stand out or have fun, anything goes.

Answer 2

Casual dress is just as appropriate as elegant wear when visiting an art gallery. Comfortable walking shoes are important, you will be walking and standing a majority of the time. For an opening or evening event the dress is usually black tie.
