Decoded - Party Dress Code

A quick reference to dress codes for social events.

If people don’t know what to wear, there is a good chance they won’t show up!  Creative, fun party themes are terrific, but it is not necessary for people to have to dress for the theme.  Make the dress code easy to understand, and easy to obtain.   (Terry O’Brien).

Below is my quick reference to dress codes for social events.

 Black Tie or Formal

A Black Tie is always safe for formal clothing. Men wear tuxedos, women wear cocktail, long dresses or dressy night isolates.

A White Tie or Ultra-formal greeting requires men to wear full dress, with white tie, vest, shirt. Ladieswear long outfits. (Here, the narration is for women only).

Black Tie Optional

A Black Tie Optional or Black Tie Invited gives you the choice of wearing a tuxedo or formal dress, however it should sign you into the convention of the occasion, which means a dull formal attire would be your other alternative. Ladieswear cocktail, long dresses, or dressy night isolates.
