....are they a new thing.

I just got a wedding invitation; it states, "Dress Code, Modern Renaissance".
So I clicked on the attached QR code to see what "Modern Renaissance" is.

Yikes, what is this world coming to.

I'm with you , better to not even go

Well, you going to share with pics what “Modern Renaissance“ is?

If nice jeans and a button up shirt aren't nice enough then I don't need to be there.

Khakis and a nice button up is about as far as I’ll go unless I’m in the actual wedding.

You might ask before you decide not to go and find out if Dress Code means a suggestion or mandatory. Never heard of such a thing as a dress code. Especially in a larger open wedding.

Also it might just mean dress for women. Lots of unanswered questions in my opinion.

Wear what you usually do and go to the wedding. Trust me you won't be the only one not dressed in whatever "modern Renaissance" is.

I had to look up "modern renaissance clothing". The women's clothing looks nice and varies a lot stylistically. The men's clothing looks like steam punk clothing.

Heaven forbid you step out of your comfort zone and have some fun at a friends wedding! Bunch of fuddy-duddy old geezers in this bunch! Lol

Not really quite my style. Plus it looks like I'd spend a few hundred bucks achieving that look on something I'd wear once, and feel ridiculous about it too.
However, if Bob would like to foot the bill I might consider it.

Or maybe one of these outfits??

I doubt any of those fellows get on their knees to set a trap.

even if someone else footed the bill,you would never catch me wearing anything like that

a friends kid got married recently I don't think they required all guests to dress in renaissance consume but the family and wedding party all did

it was held outside of a castle near Eau Claire

it doesn't need to to be that difficult a solid color Tunic shirt much like you would find at a fur trade era Rondy is what most for them were wearing

the bride and groom were quite dressed in renaissance garb.

put a shirt like this un-tucked over your black jeans wear leather shoes and you will likely fit right in

definitely reach out to the family and get more answers

could be fun with copious amounts of wine , ale and mead

I’d go Mountain Man.

Don't forget the lovely, young wenches.

they prefer Maidens or Ladies in polite company, you may find them to be wenches later depends how much you get your party on.

Now that's an idea.

One thing you rarely get around here anymore is a thank you card for a gift.

As a trapper it would only be fitting to go as Black Death to a Renaissance themed shindig.
