Dinner Party dress code: sports attire. What to wear?
I have a year end dinner party later, which is held at some high class hotel. However, the dress code stated is sports attire. I plan to wear sports shirt and shorts, but is that too casual, or should I just wear a dress? Help ?

If you want to go smart(ish) you could wear a pair of plimsolls, a pair of chino shorts and a cotton t-shirt with a sweater wrapped around your neck (link to an image enclosed at the bottom so you see what I mean!) - that's a sort of typical posh type of sports clothing image, a cliche image used in movies a lot.
If it's sports attire, then you should probably stick to the dress code, ask what other people are wearing to get ideas. If you do decide to wear a dress, then make it fun by sporting it up a little - wear your dress with sneakers/trainers, wear a baseball cap, a baseball mitt, etc, etc

Be careful... I would check with one of the organizers what "sports attire" means. It probably doesn't mean the kind of clothing you would wear to play sports.
I see that there is a Singapore flag on your question, so "sports attire" may mean something different there, but where I come from, it basically means "business casual." Men should wear something like this:

So the jacket doesn't need to match the trousers and it can be made out of a more casual fabric. In some places, jeans can be worn.
Women should wear not wear a cocktail dress or anything so formal. No evening wear. They also should probably not wear anything as casual as jeans. A skirt or casual dress would probably work, as would nice trousers.
I would not wear shorts. A sports shirt (if you mean a polo) would probably be OK.
