Question

What should I wear?

Answer

Formal Garden Party Attire Your optimal target for dress attire should be cool and comfortable. You're wearing threads that make you look good, which make you feel good. You're wearing an outfit that won't make you overheat. Does a suit work? Yes. How about a heavy wool suit? No. It's May. Dress to the nines while leaving room for ventilation. The only requirement is the dance floor.
