Hide AdThe charity is holding the virtual fundraiser in June and all you need to do is dust down your best outfit, donate a few pounds and send a picture in to raise awareness of the event on social media.
The event is taking place during Loneliness Awareness Week to highlight the plight of lonely older people.
A spokesman for Serve told the Northants Telegraph: "We at Serve are looking to have a bit of virtual summer fun while at the same time raising much needed funds for our Musical Moments Singing sessions and Exercise classes to name but a couple.
"Join in with our mufti day and wherever you are, pop on a bow tie or that sparkly dress that hasn't been out for a while and do your shopping, walk the dog, sunbathe in the garden or whatever your day will consist of."
