The invitation has arrived in the mail and the dress code say's WHAT??

Decoding Dress Codes

When a special event is looming and you haven't got a thing to wear. Then one of the following might help you to narrow down what your looking for.

Black Tie or Formal
Gentlemen wear tuxedos and ladies wear cocktail dresses, long dresses or dressy evening separates.
White Tie or Ultra-formal
Gentlemen wear full dress suits, with white tie, waistcoat and shirt. Ladies wear long gowns.
Black Tie Optional
Gentlemen have the option of wearing a tuxedo; a dark suit and tie is the only alternative as this is still a formal occasion. Ladies wear cocktail dresses, long dresses or dressy evening separates.
Creative Black Tie
Leaves room for a touch of creativity in a gentleman’s interpretation of formal wear; he could update a tuxedo with a black shirt and no tie. Ladies wear long or short cocktail dresses or evening separates.
Semi-formal
This is the trickiest of all dress codes. Usually it means that tuxedos are not required, nor are long dresses. Daytime semi-formal events mean a suit for him and an appropriate short dress or dressy suit for her. An evening wedding (after 6 pm) would still require a dark suit for him, and a cocktail dress for her.
Cocktail Attire
Short, elegant dresses for her and dark suits for him.
Dressy Casual
No jeans or shorts. Similar to business casual, but a touch dressier.
Casual
Anything goes. Informal can mean the same as casual. However, when associated with a wedding or other special event, some form of decorum and good taste should prevail. A dress or dressy suit for her or a nice pair of non-suit trousers and shirt for him are informal, but still respectful of the event.

Accessorising for us girls is easy. A clutch will do for all of the above, and gives the impression you have thought about your look and not just dragged along you everyday tote.

And the most important accessory is you smile.
