Accessories are key, ladies, metallic are lovely and men, a silver watch and tie (a pop of bright colour to match your partner) is fashion forward.

Cocktail Cocktail dress code etiquette usually means semi-formal short elegant dresses, although these dresses may vary in lengths. For men, attire consists of a jacket, with or without a tie, and long dress pants. Cocktail attire is often more fashion-forward with varied coloured suits and shirts.

usiness Attire On the scale of formality, business attire is more formal than casual but less formal than cocktail attire. Business attire consists of, for men, a suit (usually dark in colour), including a pair of trousers with a matching jacket. The suit is worn with a long-sleeved shirt and a tie or a polo shirt with dress pants. Informal attire for women in its strictest interpretation is patterned after the male standard — a suit consisting of a jacket with matching skirt or trousers, plus a blouse.

mart Casual Usually holds the most confusion amongst the dress codes. This etiquette does vary from countries and even companies. Generally, safe attire for a smart casual is office attire with some added accessories – to ‘dress up’ the office attire. A smart jacket and closed shoes or heels is recommended. If you do opt for jeans, your denim should look somewhat dressy, fresh and sharp with no wear or holes. A great tip for the girls, add a blazer for an extra touch of class.

Casual Casual dress is more laid back to any other dress code. You may wear anything from a cotton blouse to a T-shirt. Appropriate shoes are part of the etiquette dress code; though many assume flip-flops (thongs) are suitable wear, when in fact they are not. A handy tip is to avoid inflammatory or otherwise offensive graphic tees!
