    DRESS

    CODES
    Smart Casual
    • Women: Wear a pencil skirt or dress pants (slacks), paired
    with a silk or button-down top and heels. 
    • Men: Go for dressy trousers, paired with a collared shirt and
    loafers. 
    • When to wear it: office parties, happy hours, business
    luncheons, job interview.
    Smart Casual
    Dressy Casual
    • Women: Avoid wearing denim, tennis shoes, and cotton tees. Instead,
    opt for silk pants, dress pants, or a skirt. Pair with a patent leather flat,
    or one with nice embellishments such as a bow, buckle, or a print. 
    • Men: Wear trousers and a dress shirt with a leather loafer, oxfords, or
    a slip-on shoe. Pair with a blazer or sport coat. Avoid showing up with
    wrinkles or clothes one size too big, too small, or in a non-
    coordinating color. A tie is optional. 
    • When to wear it: church, dinner, or an invite received via phone or e-
    mail.
    Dressy Casual
    Business Casual
    • Women: Put on a skirt, khakis, or dress pants (slacks) paired with long
    sleeve or three- quarter sleeve tops. A casual dress and heels are
    options as well.
    • Men: Wear a button-down or a polo shirt, paired with khakis, or dress
    pants (slacks). If you so desire, layer with a v-neck sweater, a blazer,
    or a sport coat. A tie is optional. 
    • When to wear it: company party, daily work attire, business lunch
    meetings, job interview
    Cocktail Attire
    • Women: Wear a shorter dress with some frill. The classic little black
    dress makes for great cocktail attire, and is the easiest to show your
    personality by accessorizing to suit your mood. 
    • Men: Wear a dark suit, coat, and tie. Opting for dark jeans paired with
    a jacket and tie is also acceptable at some cocktail events, depending
    on how casual the atmosphere is.
    • When to wear it: adult birthday parties, evening social events.
    Lounge
    • Women: Wear a dress that would be appropriate for brunch or
    afternoon tea. It should fall to, or slightly above, the knee, and not be
    too sparkly or low-cut. Incorporate a jacket or shawl to cover the
    arms. 
    • Men: Opt for a dark suit, paired with a French-cuffed, crisp white
    shirt. You can go with or without a tie. Opting for a vest instead of a
    tie adds to the informality of the look. 
    • When to wear it: daytime engagement parties, business breakfasts,
    afternoon tea.
    Lounge
    White Tie
    • Women: A floor-length ball gown is a must. Accessorize with opera

    the back of your knees,) white bow tie, starched white shirt, and a

    and a tie, or a bow tie with or without a vest and a cummerbund.
