Semi-formal is a polished and elegant style that is dressy but not as formal as black tie. It’s refined, modest, and appropriate for events like weddings, receptions, and special celebrations.

This may include a knee-length or midi dress in soft tones or floral prints, a modest cocktail dress, or an elegant jumpsuit paired with closed-toe heels or refined dress flats.

Appropriate options include a well-tailored suit in gray, or beige, a dress shirt with a tie, and classic leather dress shoes; a blazer with dress pants and a tie is also suitable.
