Outfitting the host

NYCLatinaMe — Sun, 18 Apr 2021 01:36:54 GMT

I saw this interesting piece in the WSJ about what people are wearing while entertaining at home. They claim there is a new trend where the host's clothes match the plates. Mmm...

This first look is credited to Hill House Home:

From Tory Burch:

From La DoubleJ, a pineapple motif

My favorite was this from D’Ascoli

I don't entertain much, and won't be wearing any of this, but what do you think?

Wow, how stupid. Maybe it's for someone who does not know what to wear at their own party or over spent their party budget , so they just bought an extra table cloth and made a dress

Why me, Lord, what did we ever do to deserve these displeasures from designers who do not know what to do.

The first outfit matching the table cloth and wallpaper is totally ridiculous. You don't wan..t to blend in but rather stand out. I don't like anything about the other photos. Whoever came up with this trick for the host is not in reality.

Or burgers and fries on the grill? Can't imagine wearing a dress when it's 115 outside.

I think it is kind of costumey (if that's a word). Or comes across as trying so very hard.

It's actually kind of weird to me.

I don't want to dress like a napkin or floppy paper plate or how about a glass plate? A lace tablecloth?

Have people really been home entertaining so much that a trend would take off? Especially this trend?

I like #2 , and also very much #4.

I don't see anything 'wrong' with this so-called 'trend'.

Not crazy about the first one, though. A bit 'too much', imo.

How about Taco Tuesday for two? Like I'm going to wear something like this to stay home and probably spill something on it?

For me - even in "good" times - no.

This is either for the chic that got all that wallpaper and fabric on sale to match and did not know what to do with it or the one who has so much money she wants to brag about it.

Too gimmicky. Do you really want to match your decor??

Matching attire? Guess that leaves me out. I'm lucky if I can get my place settings to match. Oh well, cocktails before dinner and no one notices anyway .

I wonder what will happen to the "stuff" and / or the "designer" when no one buys the stupid idea ???

Kind of fun. Not one of course.

We do a dinner at church every year and I decorate a table and I always wear something that compliments my theme. It is fun.

Can't even imagine trying to match my outfit with plates, that's an alternate universe.

White paper plates=problem solved
