EVENING DRESS CODES
Below is a short list of recommendations for common dress codes for functions, events, meetings and parties.
Dressing appropriately for each occasion will ensure you feel more comfortable and also adds an element of respect for the host.
BLACK TIE
This is formal dress code. It means ball gowns, long evening dresses and dressy evening separates.
WHITE TIE
Ultra formal. Requires long evening gowns.
FORMAL
This is reasonably similar to black tie, but without the more strict guidelines to follow. Women should probably still wear a long evening dress, but shorter dresses are still acceptable. Events after 6pm need evening dress suits to be dark.
COCKTAIL
Generally cocktail means short, elegant dresses, or dress suits.
LOUNGE
More relaxed. Very similar to cocktail dress code.
SEMI FORMAL OR AFTER FIVE
This takes a more casual stance on the formal dress code. Women can afford to shorten the hemline of the skirt of their dress and wear more of a cocktail length dress.
SMART CASUAL
This can be quite general. Women could wear dress pants with a pretty shirt/top, or a more casual skirt or dress to that of the cocktail dress. Generally we would choose not to wear denim jeans to a smart casual event.
Always remember, the way we dress is an unspoken expression of ourselves.
