I'm guessing we have a couple of folks here experienced in the Mardi Gras thingy.

What would be some basic suggestions for getting into the Mardi Gras spirit/what to wear?

This charity has a theme every year and some go all out. I'd like to do a little more than wear beads but not go all out like this.

Any suggestions?

How formal is it?

If it's very formal, just rent a tux, but get a cumberbund in a mardi gras color. Green usually looks the best. Wear beds, but not too many

If it's casual, then get creative

Some will be in jeans and a button down, some will go all out with colored suits, a few will be in a tux. It's all over the board.

A lot of Mardi Gras balls are white tie formal.

Some are costume balls, and some parties a Perlis Polo is good enough.

Really depends on the dress recommended.

How do you normally dress for events like this? I wouldn't go balls to the wall nutty, but incorporating something business casual with Mardi Gras colors would probably be alright

For guys, something with mardi gras colors

For women, no top FTW

I'm thinking jeans, green or purple dress shirt if I can find one, a black sports coat and some beads. If I'm feeling froggy, maybe a mask.
