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.
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.

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.
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.
