That's an unjustified generalisation.
I've had no handbag since I was 17. Fifty years ago.
I don't wear shoes - wellies or sandals (the latter home-made).
Good wine, however, is always acceptable.

Ther are rumours you aren't a woman either...
You left the 'h' out...;-)
CAT FIGHT, CAT FIGHT :-)

I read this and thought "Hmmm..."
Then, resisting the urge to look to see who posted, "It must be..."
That clinched it. Hello Mary :)
Si

The sandals should have clinched it! You said nothing about The Hat ...

While I rarely wear 'formal' clothes, I can still brush up quite well for weddings and funerals etc. Women are allowed a bit more room for expression at such things, but I've yet to see one wearing wellies.
You'd not get an invite to my wake dressed like that. Suppose you could help out the grave diggers, though. ;-)
My morning and evening tails went to the charity shop, I wore them so little.
I can remember that complaints were made about a uni lecturer delivering lectures in bright yellow wellies wasn't quite appropriate for Law, so she changed them to blue tie-top ones.

My sister got married in a pair of Doc Martens a couple of months ago
What did the bride wear ;-)
Adam
White dress, Doc Martens, not sure what else she had on (or not, as the case might be) !
The message from Colin Wilson contains these words:
The bikers who turned up at my cousin's funeral were all in leathers. Word had gone out that he'd come back and haunt anyone turning up in sombre clothes.
I try not to think about it.
Si
Quite right too.
I've specified that anyone turning up in formal dress or even wearing a tie gets nothing.
I understand there are very fashionable ones these days - mine aren't, they're just white with faint creosote stains. My sandals are perfectly acceptable for when I'm dressed formally. I'm far too intelligent to cram my toes in silly shoes.
I wouldn't go to the wake of anyone who used such English - 'invite' is a verb.
That's man's work. Or, these days, a machine's.
How silly. Students whould have been listening to what was said rather than observing clothing.
Oh! I pictured the lecturer as a man!

They do weddings everywhere these days ...
The message from Andy Hall contains these words:
I made myself a fully lined waistcoat out of this stuff specially for the event.
Good for him.
One of the happiest funerals I went to was that of a Civil War re-enactor. Almost everyone was in kit - of various periods. Weapons had to be left at the door. He'd have loved it.
I asked Spouse what he'd like to wear in his shroud, he could choose from every period from Roman to C21st. He said that as he spent more time in a boiler suit than anything else it would be fitting for him to be laid out in one.
At our wedding - in 1960 - the guard of honour was an arch of front bicycle wheels held aloft by members of our cycling club. Both Spouse and I and the best man and bridesmaids were formally dressed, we were all committee members. The posh wedding car was followed to the reception by an escort of cyclists in racing strip.
One of our sons had a Morris Minor estate as his wedding car - his choice. Another son was the only male in the party at his wedding who wore trousers. It was in St Paul's Cathedral, Dundee and all the clergy, choir, men and boys wore kilts except 'our kid', who wore his best RAF blues.
