Silly question?!?!
As my DH and I were leaving the appeal meeting with our DS's headteacher, he turned to my DH and said, "Oh by the way Mr. F, I think it would be wise for you to have a shave and put on a suit when you go to ******'s appeal hearing. You need to look very well turned out!!" We honestly didn't know whether to laugh or not. What a strange thing to say?!?!? Anyway, what should be worn to an appeal hearing? He's now made us worry!!!
Any advice would be gratefully received - I need to know whether or not to order my Jimmy Choo's!!!
Have a great weekend

Flip - what an odd thing to say!!!!
I was at parents evening last week and most people were very very casually dressed - can't imagine they would do the same for an appeal though... only because most people try and project an image and ultimately feel more confident when they are more smartly dressed -

Bizarre comment to make - maybe it was his way of being 'helpful'??
As for what to wear - I would imagine that it makes sense to be on the smart side, rather than looking scruffy, as I would imagine that scruffy might project the impression that the parents don't care. However, I would also imagine that it's important to feel comfortable - so appeal day may not be the best day to resurrect some uncomfortable, toe-pinching stilettos for example.
I'm sure that more knowledgeable people than I will have all sorts of sensible advice to offer.
All the very best.

Maybe they do.nif229 wrote:Hehehe! Actually, jeans, shirt and extremely hairy face!!!
Maybe appeal panels like the look of cleanly shaven men!!
You however should congratulate yourself that you didn't warrant a comment from the Head and can wear exactly the same outfit as you were wearing - so no excuse for some new Jimmy Choo's there then

I'm probably not the best to ask as I end up seeing people at work in all sorts of clothes (or not) / fashions / jammies / socks - given up thinking about what any of it means.. though how we perceive people is subconscious - the old "people with bad shoulders often have simple to manage hairstyles....." can't do it the other way round as those with simple hairstyles are too busy chasing after their kids to have anything too complicated...!
