Musical Etiquette: Piano Recital Dress Code
Piano recital dress codes can vary based on music style, location and level of formality, so always confirm details with the event coordinator or your music instructor. But there is a simple universal standard that you can fall back on if you're not sure what to wear about your performance. Formal pants are a suitable choice for male or female performers. Female pianists can also opt for a skirt or dress, but it should be knee length or longer. Wear clothes, but avoid higher heels or shoes with a smooth bottom, which can slide on the piano pedals.

- Female Performers: you usually have more options when it comes to tops, but a formal blouse or button-down is a major relapse. No matter what happens, make sure your top stays in place during an animated performance and that it's not low cut.
- Male Performers: wear a chic but comfortable shirt. Find out in advance if your event requires a formal coat or tie.
