Or jeans. (Oh I am gonna wear this (pun intended) plus some criticism no doubt)

Are you comparing going out to dinner with meeting heads of state or being dubbed a knight of the realm? Seriously?
And no, I would not wear a pant suit as a woman. Not that I have anything against suits on women I think they're fine if they have to wear them. But unless it's cut by Armani himself I wouldn't dare to put it on - suits make me feel frumpy and masculine. Hubby and I are as far removed from the corporate world as you can imagine, we're both artists/musicians so there is no need for us to even own anything like that. On the other hand the men in my field show up to work in tuxedos.
