Conservative suits and ties for men, tailored dresses or a blouse and dress pants for women, dark dress shoes, and subtle accessories.
Resort Casual
Beach-friendly attire: usually lightweight, comfortable clothing such as shorts, sundresses, and sandals.
Festive Attire
Holiday or party-specific attire that’s fun and colorful: for example, bright ties or creative dresses, often with a touch of sparkle for women.
Academic Dress
Outfits worn for academic ceremonies, typically a cap and gown, sometimes with specific colors that denote the academic institution or level of achievement.
Black Tie
Formal evening wear: a black dinner jacket and matching trousers, winged collar shirt, bow tie, cummerbund or waistcoat, and leather dress shoes.
Creative Black Tie
Traditional Black Tie with a modern twist: men might wear a black shirt or a colored or patterned tie; women might opt for dressy separates or a unique cocktail dress.
White Tie
Most formal dress code: black tailcoat, matching trousers with a single stripe of satin or braid, white pique wing-collared shirt with a stiff front, white waistcoat, white bow tie, white or grey gloves, and black patent shoes.
Country Club Casual
A neat yet casual dress code often seen at country clubs or golf courses: polo shirts, khakis or slacks, sun dresses, and loafers or boat shoes.
Casual
Comfortable clothing: includes anything like jeans, t-shirts, and sneakers. Clothes should be clean and without holes.
Smart Casual
Casual wear that is a notch above casual with a well-fitting, polished look: jeans paired with a blazer for men, or a casual dress or pants ensemble for women.
Lounge Suit
Business attire with a suit and tie for men, and women can wear a business-style dress or a pantsuit that is not too formal.
Resort Evening Wear
More formal than Resort Casual: includes items like summer dresses, light slacks with a nice shirt, and heeled sandals or loafers.
Garden Attire
Suitable for outdoor events, such as garden weddings or parties. Attire typically includes lightweight fabrics and floral or botanical prints, with comfortable footwear.
Cocktail Attire
Semi-formal wear: a suit and tie might be worn or a sports coat and slacks, while women often wear a cocktail dress or a skirt and top with heels.
Business Casual
A step down from Business Formal: dress shirts, chinos or slacks, optional tie or seasonal sport coat, loafers or dress shoes for men; skirts, dresses, tailored pants, and blouses for women.
