This dress code is for the most formal evening events, such as galas, formal weddings, and balls
A floor-length gown in elegant materials like silk, velvet, or satin.
A dressy pantsuit or formal jumpsuit is a modern alternative.
Accessories should be sophisticated, such as dressy heels, an elegant clutch, and fine jewelry.
Cocktail attire:
This dress code is less formal than black-tie but more elegant than casual, and is common for parties, cocktail hours, and evening weddings. A knee-length or midi-length dress is the standard.
