SEMI-FORMAL
Somewhere between formal and casual, depending on the time of the event
• Women: Wear a knee-length cocktail dress, a little black dress, a dressy skirt and top, or even slacks with a dressy blouse.
• Men: Wear a suit and tie in a dark or light color, depending on the season and the time of day, or dress pants with a collared shirt and jacket. Add dressy leather shoes.

Smart suit (not patterned), in a dark(ish) colour
Crisp, plain white, long sleeved button up shirt with the top button undone
No tie
Smart shoes and belt in a different colour to the suit, eg dark blue suit, tan coloured shoes and belt
