Help! We have just been invited to have the Noche Buena dinner with a Spanish family on Christmas eve. What would be appropriate for us (two casual Americans in their 20's) to wear to this occasion? Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I would think trousers (Dockers), a button down shirt, and a sweater would be fine for a man and for a woman a skirt and sweater, slacks and blouse/shirt/sweater or a dress (not too fancy) would suffice. Think "church clothes" or something similar. Do you know these people? When in doubt, wear solids and subdued colors. I'm sure you'll be fine!

Nevado has the LOOK down for men!! For women, I'd agree but add that the pants/blouse etc should be stylish as opposed to American casual. Think what you would wear to go out to dinner (but no high heels or 'cocktail' dresses)

rgf,
why not high hills or cocktel dresses?

SOMETHING WITH AN ELASTIC WAIST!!! Pardon the shouting, but be prepared to EAT and then when you're done, to EAT SOME MORE!

I love Nochebuena dinner in Spain. I had to have my femur hollowed out so I could fit all of the good stuff in there...paella, turrón, mariscos, cordero, turrón, mazapán, mmmmm..... Got room for another guest???
