The best part of going out – in my humble-ish opinion – is getting dressed. A quintessential moment, that, unsurprisingly can also bring a LOT of stress. Especially when the invite denotes a specific type of evening wear.
The hardest part for me, so I assume all of us, is always discerning the difference between what’s appropriate under each heading. So. Let us discuss, shall we?
It’s no secret that I am Shopbop’s biggest fan, and I personally L O V E their curation of gowns. Check out their gorgeous selection of formal dresses – in all price ranges – HERE .

For men, this is clear. Tux all the way baby. For my ladies, this is always a bit more complicated, for we can technically wear anything from a long dress to dressy separates to formal cocktail attire. But the BEST way I’ve figured out how to decide is to ask yourself: what is the host going to wear? And where are you going? Those two things will guide you in the right direction. Still confused? Go floor length – a long gown should do the trick.
This one is a bit of a doozy. Again, men have the option of wearing a tux or a dark suit, whereas women are more open to wearing anything from a long dress to a cocktail number. AKA the pressure is off a bit, with more flexibility in the decision making process. You’re not expected to make a statement, but you can still make an effort.
Again, men – you don’t get much creative power here, but for women this means a fun, shorter dress that is essentially “party-reader.” Bold colors, statement jewelry, feminine pieces – the possibilities are endless.
Then it means you’re probably going to a party centric to a holiday or theme. Festive attire is similar to cocktail attire, but think more so about the colors you wear and the accessories you pair it with. And just make sure one element of your outfit falls into the theme.
You’re probably going to a daytime, or semi-formal event. For guys, this can be a suit and tie – and can be on the lighter side. For women, maybe a pantsuit, or anything that feels business appropriate that can also be a little dressed up.
Then pants and a blazer, a skirt and blouse or trousers and a fitted tee – anything works as long as it’s not jeans and sneakers. All my guys out there can wear slacks, chinos and any collared shirts.
All Hail Sweatpants! Kidding – jeans! Anything goes in this case and you’ll most likely be uncomfortable if too dressy. I have always said it’s better to be overdressed than under dressed, but I feel like we all know what casual looks like – you do you on this one. ( Just don’t actually wear sweatpants .)
I spy with my little eye a whole new batch of stunning and fun cocktail dresses… perfect for holiday parties…. head HERE to take a peep!

Very flavourful rum cocktail. The molasses added to the rum flavours. Did not use the sugar syrup and had it a bit more sour than most may like. Would try this with a float of 151 or with Jamaican rum. Very nice for an evening sipper.
I tried it with and without the sugar syrup. I thought with molasses and orgeat that sugar was no needed. But it worked a bit better with the sugar. Maybe the same offer could be had on the balance by reducing slightly the amount of lime juice. This is one for the dark-flavours people only. Rum and liquorice.

Black tie attire is slightly less formal than white tie, but it is more formal than business attire. It is the most common formal dress code for events such as weddings, proms, formal dinners, and theatre.
It's important to treat black tie events with a certain amount of formality, consideration, and respect. Be sure to conduct yourself in a way that reflects these values. Make sure you're moderate with the food and drink as well. Keep it classy so that you can have fond memories of the black tie event.
A creative black tie is best described as attire with a black-tie foundation with room for some creativity and flair. It maintains black tie formality but allows for the use of textures, colors, and accessories to personalize your look.
A black-tie optional dress code gives guests a couple of formal options to choose from. Men are requested to wear a tuxedo, but can opt for a dark suit. Women can choose either a formal evening gown, a shorter cocktail dress, or dressy separates.

Have an invitation to a black-tie event in hand and want to be sure you’re properly attired? We’re here to help.
Black tie may be the second-most formal of evening dress codes, but for many people, it’s the most formal they’ll ever need to dress. White-tie invitations are rare unless you’re wealthy, famous, or in politics. But the chances are high that you’ll be invited to a black-tie event at some point in your life.
Never fear! Formal dress codes are often easier to navigate than casual ones, although the clothes are usually more expensive. While terms like “ dressy casual” leave room for interpretation, black tie gives you straightforward limitations regarding what you can wear. Keep this guide as a reference, so you can impress everyone the next time you attend a black-tie function.
Black tie is sometimes called the “tux” or “tuxedo” dress code because that is what men are expected to wear.
Tuxedos appeared in the mid-19th century, offering a casual alternative to tailcoats. (At the time, even casual wear was much fancier than it is today.) But post-World War I, the Autumn Ball in New York’s Tuxedo Park gave the garment both its name and its fame. The ball had historically been a formal white-tie affair, but the dress code changed to the less-formal tuxedo after the war.
Tuxedos were initially designed to strike a balance between informal lounge suits and highly formal tailcoats. They were first called “dinner jackets,” as they were perfect for informal evening events (the term is still used today).
These days, tuxedos and other black-tie attire are reserved for very formal events, as dress codes overall have shifted toward the casual. You may not need this knowledge often, but it’s valuable to know how to dress to impress at a black-tie function.
You’ll never need to wear black-tie attire unless it’s expressly requested. Black-tie events can include:
Black-tie events are sometimes labeled “black tie required” to distinguish them from the less formal “ black tie optional .” Other invitations may indicate “black tie preferred” or “black tie requested.” At those events, men should wear a tuxedo (if they can afford one) or a dark suit (if they can’t). However, if you see only “black tie” as the dress code, you should assume that it’s required.
“Creative black tie” is a similar dress code option. This means that you should still follow the rules of black-
