Let's decipher some common dress codes: 1. White tie White tie means a white bow tie. It's usually made of Marcella cotton and the coat you wear with it is a tail coat, meaning it goes all the way down to the back of your knees. 2. Black tie Traditionally, gentlemen in England would always wear white tie for dinner but they had very stiff shirt fronts and some found that to be uncomfortable. 3. Evening wear or formal evening wear Either white tie or black tie. In all fairness, most people today will only expect black tie from you because especially in the US, white tie is hardly ever worn. 4. Black tie optional or black tie invited. Instead, you can just wear a dark suit in either gray, charcoal, or navy. You can wear it with a tie or a bow tie and ideally, a white dress shirt. 5. Creative black tie. It's supposed to be a little more whimsical and relaxed. You could either do that by changing up your bow tie. You can get a jacket that's velvet or has that certain distinct pattern. 6. Day wear or formal day wear, that means a traditional morning coat which is usually worn with cashmere striped trousers, a dove grey vest or waistcoat,. 7. Semi-formal. Simply means dark suit, white shirt, tie, black shoes and dark socks. 8. Festive attire or holiday attire. Can mean anything from an ugly Christmas sweater to a dressed up velvet jacket with a tartan waistcoat. 9. Dress code business attire or business formal. Can either be a dark suit either single breasted or double breasted, sometimes even with a vest which makes it more formal, dark or black shoes, a conservative tie, either a small print, nothing loud, nothing too colorful, and a white or light blue shirt. 10. Business casual. On a very basic level, it means, no suit but also no jeans. 11. Dressy casual. It's very similar to business casual. 12. Smart casual or smart chic usually implies a nice pair of jeans or chinos or khakis paired with a dress shirt. 13. Cocktail attire. More vibrant and more unusual so rather than having navy blazer, you can maybe go with herringbone jacket, could be a combination, could be a more funky suit, could be a louder tie, a pocket square, some bolder accessories. 14. Casual and mainstream casual. That means you can wear jeans, any kinds of slacks, maybe even shorts paired with sneakers, boat shoes, or loafers. 15.
