Hi Andrea, glad you asked!
Deciding what to wear for a party or dance or wedding can be challenging.
Because of all the different designations such as formal, white-tie, business casual or semi-formal, you need to know what kind of clothing and/or accessories are appropriate for each level of formality. Understanding which is which will help you avoid embarrassment.
What Is Considered Semi-Formal Dress?
What Does Semi-Formal Dress Mean?
Women
When you receive an invitation to an event which specifies semi-formal, this means a cocktail-length (knee-length) or long dress. You have to wear sheer hosiery. Leave the business pumps at home and put on the dressy pumps. You can accessorize with tasteful jewelry.
Best Advice? Go with the short party dress. Save the long gown for your prom.
Men
Men wear suits to semi-formal events. The suit should be a good-quality dark suit with a dark tie and white shirt. You should wear dark socks and black shoes.
