Men: Jacket. Tie. Smart shoes. No shorts. No caps. You’re golden.
Women: Smart dress or suit. No flip-flops. Elegant is your keyword. Hats for tea are a bonus.
Is it a hassle? A little. But it’s also part of the experience. You’re not just paying for the tea or the hotel room. You’re paying for the feeling. The feeling of walking into a room where everyone looks put-together, where the clink of a teacup sounds just right, and you can pretend, for an afternoon, that you’re a millionaire from the 1920s.
So, iron that shirt. Button that cuff. And go sip some expensive tea like the elegant beast you are. You’ve got this.
Oh, and one more thing: no jeans in the restaurant after 6 PM. Just in case you were wondering. You’re welcome.
