Smart casual, cocktail, black tie, semi formal & the dreaded invite with no dress code, grrrrr
Here's a quick breakdown of dress codes & what they realistically translate to....
BLACK TIE
Formal! - think of Old Hollywood
Girls should go for cocktail style dresses (but nothing too flashy or revealing) or long evening gowns
Boys, go for the James Bond style tuxedos complete with cufflinks
SEMI-FORMAL
or 'After Five' - tuxes are not necessary, nor are long dresses.
Girls, go for a fun cocktail dress, but not to over the top.
Boys stick to dark suits and a casual skinny tie
COCKTAIL ATTIRE
Girls, go for a shorter dress with a bit of glam
Boys could rock a grey suit with a crisp white shirt
SMART CASUAL
Think of 'dinner at a nice restaurant' for this one
Girls could rock a wide leg pant with a chunky heel and a fun feminine top
Boys, a nice tailored pant with a French cuff shirt
CASUAL
Generally means anything goes.
NO DRESS CODE
In the absence of a dress code, just call and ask
