I'm going to a ballet performing at the Orange County performing arts center. It's a matinee showing of Swan Lake. So what should I wear that's appropriate? I heard that in California, you can be as casual as you want as long as you don't wear jeans and printed T-shirt. I'm thinking maybe khakis and a polo shirt.

At a matinee performance at OCPAC, you should be just fine in that. Wear what makes you feel comfortable. My only suggestion is that if you find you get chilly in air conditioning, bring an extra shirt or something to slip on if you are cold.

Welcome (again) to Ballet Talk! Don't let a year go by before you post again
