The
other side of being comfortable in small amounts of miscellaneous causal wear
is an enthusiasm for proper dressing up. As far as I can tell, this is of two
basic sorts: smart casual and fancy dress. The first – at the risk of sounding
unfairly derogatory - tends to 80s disco and the kind of blingy dressiness that
people in the North East of England do very well. The second is the
propensity to use any occasion to party in a costume; starting with party hats
and getting more and more outrageous as required (for example, playing bowls
dressed as characters from superhero films). Or not just being Father Christmas
in the pub, but also some Christmas parcels.
