Collection of dress codes in Poland - what to wear?

Merged: Dress Codes in Poland (big corporate party) - help!

Been invited to a big corporate party in Poland - looking at the schedule for it, I guess you'd call it a ball.

What do I wear to something like this? Understated LBD or something more glam with loads of fake bling?

I'll probably be the only Brit there, and so I don't want to stick out like a sore thumb!

be yourself gal. Wear your Shoreditch finest clobber and show them what fashion is all about.

keep it simple, yet elegant... don't over do it... and have fun!:)

Cheers ladies... so long dress or short dress? False eye-lashes? Evening gloves?


Ha! you know me too well ;)

Stockings and high heels are a must.Otherwise you cannot enter.
You also need polish boobs.

Oh dear. I only have fried eggs :(

polish or Polish?


lol ;)


show your legs :)

that sounds like quite a challenge, more than buying a new frock!

maybe some fake tan and bleached hair?

Agreed.

You might have to consider dress length, footwear and if to wear your hair up or down.

Bling is out.

Find some pictures of New Year's Eve balls.

Very nice are the classic polish girls' low heel sandals which make a noise kla-kla-kla when they walk.I think it is a must accessory.

Kitten heels?


Now your contradicting yourself.....

With low heels she will pass as polish and get males' attention.


High heels is ukrainian.

Come on LC, you dont need to ask this question :)

I so do... I've got it down to three dresses, but now I'm stressing about the accessories.... are evening gloves going to be too OTT? Will a fascinator look too naff? And then there's the shoes....

Trouble is that I'm only going for two days, so I opted not to pay for checked luggage on the flight. This means that I'm going to have to pack everything into my handluggage....eeeek!!!

Pardon my male ignorance....but what is a fascinator......?????

A feathery thing that you stick in your hair - more so than a hairband, but not quite a hat.

Oh....like a Cherokee indian kind of thing.....very sexy...

um kind of.... LOL!

I am sure you will look lovely....I shouldn,t worry too much about looking too different from the Polish women....Whatever you wear you will probably inspire all the Polish women to copy it , as Anything British has got to be great....As a male i do notice that Polish fashion is a bit different to English...Why not have a look at some of the Polish fashion websites , see what sort of stuff Polish women like to wear.....

LC, wear what you'll be comfortable in. The gloves are an option because if you feel overdressed you can remove them. The fascinator, only wear if you'll be happy with it.


Neither would I worry about that. As I said, only wear what makes you feel comfortable and are happy with. You'll look great and most important - have fun :)

you must be joking

your mentality ... is outdated :)

This is just the impression i get from Polish friends....its not what i think.....The young people i used to teach seem to think anything British or American must be fantastic...they cant understand why i want to live here , but to put you right..i love Poland , and many things Polish....

This is probably the best answer to your question LC.

If my experience of such parties in Poland is anything to go by, there will be a lot of very beautiful women dressed in a mixture of high fashion and the unique ecclectic style that Polish fashion tends to be associated with. Wear whatever makes you feel good and you are sure to radiate beauty and confidence :)

Awww, thanks everyone.

Now trying to get my head round packing everything into my hand-luggage :)

What to wear for short break and wedding

Hi everyone. In a couple of weeks I will be travelling to Gdansk with my boyfriend for a few days. Could anyone please help me decide what to wear and pack. I also need ideas on what sort of dress i should be wearing to a wedding. Do i need a shrug or small jacket to go with it? Thanks Amy x

Check the long range weather forecast. You could get rain, snow or a nice day.

At the moment it's jeans and long coat weather. A lot of the hats and scarves are back in the cupboard though.

Depends what people you are talking about. Im sure there are a range of people in every country. I know that the polish girls in my high school (Uk) dress in short skirts and makeup 10cm thick, but it doesnt mean they are all like that.

Merged: Dress code for men in Poland (english teacher in Polish school)

What is the dress code at these private english language schools? If there is no dress code, then what do male esl teachers most commonly wear to class?

In japan, shirt and tie. What about poland?

thanks! (don't want to be under/over dresssed)

Depends on the school. There's not one hard and fast rule, but one tendency I've noticed is for bad schools to have overly strict dress codes.

For instance - I know one school that has very high standards. They don't have a dress code - in fact, it's quite normal to see one of their teachers wearing surfing shorts, a very casual shirt and flip flops. Equally so, I know a very terrible Callan school that insists that everyone is dressed formally, even in the blazing heat.

Do you have a job sorted already here?

a Mankini is always a good move, thats what mikey wears.
