Party Dress Codes Can Vary By Zip Code
by SAMANTHA CRITCHELL
NEW YORK (AP) -The invitation to a summer party likely includes the time, place and date, but you might have to look between the lines to get a read on the dress code.
What you wear often depends on where you are _ and the wardrobe of your friends and neighbors. Jeans probably work for a Fourth of July community picnic in Maine, but you might see a crystal-covered kaftan among the outfits at fireworks in Miami.
You should take cues from the invitation itself (embossed paper invitation versus animated email?), the occasion and the usual style of the host. Don't be afraid to ask, either.
