Attire for Altitude 95
 
Ok so I know this question has been asked a million and one times but I really would like some peoples input. I am 22 years old going to Paris and eating at Altitude 95. I was at first going to dress really nice but started reading comments that its not as dressy as I might think. Im leaving in three weeks and will be eating there on October 11. I know its going to be cold and I thought of wearing this outfit. My husband will probly wear a turtle neck, slacks, and a jacket. Would this be ok?

I know its a dumb silly question..but I dont not want to be having eyebrows raised because Im not up to touch on what to wear! HELP PLEASE!!

It will be more than OK.
Many will disagree but, your attire will partially contribute to the decision on what table they will give you when you go. Moreover, I believe it makes a special meal (which this is) more special.

I wore a turtle neck, slacks, and a blazer when we lunched there one February -- got a window seat. Your outfit will be just fine. ((b))

I agree, your outfits will be fine. We have been there twice...once in summer and once in winter. My DH wore slacks, coat and tie when we were there in winter. This summer was a girls trip, but we all wore skirts/dresses.

Looks lovely and just right for a special dinner

sdhall2 - Not as cold as you think. In 2005 it was hot as hell in October.
Dress smart casual and carry a little sweater or jacket in case it's a bit cooler when you step back outside.

Very nice outfit -- almost too dressy.

That dress does;t look too dressy at all - it's not a cocktail dress. What both of you have planned is fine for a nicer restaurant.
