London Theatre - Proper Dress
 

My wife and I will be in London in June for a week long getaway. We
are thinking of attending The Phantom of the Opera while there. She
would like to know what would be the appropriate dress for a tourist
at the show. Also, would slacks, shirt and coat be appropriate for
me? Thanks in advance!

Anything. From shorts and flip flops to suits. I think decent and casual
is the mode these days. No one wears evening gowns and tiaras. I dress
decent but I never dress up. Business casual is about as fancy as it
gets.

slacks,

We call those chinos or casual trousers, although we used to use the word
'slacks' in the 50s/60s.

coat

Here, that's a jacket. In the UK, a coat is an overcoat (although that would
probably be useful too!).

trainers (running shoes, I forget what you call them)

Sneakers I think, being a Seinfeld fan! ;-)

Thanks everyone! I will try to update my language before we arrive.

Nobody's going to care ANYWHERE.

I've been to Covent Garden in much the same clothes I'm wearing now
(Rohan trousers, sandals) - the only difference being that I tucked
my shirt in. But you don't even have to do that if you don't want to.

It's not a question of updating, merely, as Winston Churchill said, the
situation of "two nations divided by a common language".

I was merely giving you some hints. We're used to the way you 'folks' speak.
