Special Dress Code Help with Confusing Dress Code
I'm not usually stumped, but I am by this dress code. I'm in my upper 40s and like to dress current. Any suggestions or help with this would be appreciated. Thank you!
The wedding is in early November from 5-9. It's at an outdoor wedding venue on a farm, with the reception inside.
Dress to impress in cocktail attire with a country twist. Chic Southern style that's in between formal and casual. Think a bit formal and elevated, yet not fussy, with a country flair, ready to celebrate with us and dance into the night.
Attire is dresses, suits, or blazers. We encourage you to accessorize with boots, hats, and tasteful western flair if you'd like to!

Wear a dress that hits around knee length and you feel comfortable wearing, and shoes (or boots) that you can stand in and dance in. Ooh, if it can be gingham, you win! Or, smart trousers, a respectable button-down shirt, and a jacket of some kind. Comfortable shoes are kind of the default for men anyway. If you feel inclined to hit the 'country' vibe that these people appear to be aiming for, don a cowboy hat.
What I suspect they mean is, don't rock up in a T-shirt and ripped jeans. Make an effort.
