"Hobbit Formal"

It will be autumn in New Zealand so the temperature will likely be between 65 and 75 degrees. The evening might get a bit chilly.

Envision gentlemen in comfortable slacks paired with button-down shirts in earthy hues, perhaps layered with suspenders and/or richly textured vests in deep jewel tones or earthy shades. Don't be afraid to add some color.

Ladies might choose flowing skirts or dresses in natural fabrics adorned with subtle floral embroidery or patterns, complemented by elegant blouses or fitted bodices. 

 The overall effect blends rustic charm with a touch of refined celebration, perfect for a joyous gathering in Tolkien's world.

The Shire is mostly uneven terrain, dirt paths, and grass so wear comfortable shoes. We suggest avoiding 'high' heels.
