We've been in the tea business for many years now. We get some unusual requests through our website but recently more and more people have been getting in touch on a finer point of tea etiquette, like this fan from Paris, France: "Please advise me. What should a middle aged woman wear to an afternoon English high tea? We're delighted to say that tea parties are making a real comeback at the moment. Now only are they great fun, but they can be a fantastic way to raise money for charity, too. Well I'll confess that Lily, who is usually the costume manager at Tea Head Quarters, is away in Australia at the moment investigating Eucalyptus tea so here's what I had to say in response: When it comes to dress code there are seldom hard and fast rules, or at least if there are it will usually say so on the invitation. We detest people who get too hung up about arcane dress codes so at Novel tea when we go out for tea (which is a LOT by the way) we try to make ourselves presentable, and abide by the following general principles: 1) Dress appropriately to the situation. There's no use wearing high heels if you have to walk across a field, or up a long drive to get there. It's cold out at the moment so whilst we usually associate light summer frocks with tea be realistic and don't end up with pneumonia drinking hospital tea. 2) Take your lead from everyone else. Why don't you phone around and ask what your friends are wearing? That way you'll be bound to avoid the dreaded under/over dressed faux pas. 3) Be comfortable, be yourself. If you're not happy with your outfit you'll never be able to fit in and enjoy yourself. By all means customize your wardrobe with individual touches that say something about yourself. Take tips from the pros. Buy a few fashion magazines like Tatler, Harpers, Cosmopolitan etc. and be inspired by the latest fashion trends 4) Finally, just relax. Afternoon tea is about good company, not haute couture. If you don't laugh, or make someone else laugh chances are you're doing it wrong! We hope that helps, and of course if you have any questions or suggestions of your own then we'd love to hear from you!
