Semi-formal attire is a dress code indicating the sort of clothes worn to events with a level of formality between informal wear and formal wear. It is an outfit that is dressier than what you would wear to an office but not as dressy as a formal evening gown or tuxedo. The following are some guidelines for semi-formal attire:

For Women:

• Dress or dressy suit with a dressy top, with heels, strappy sandals, flats, or dress shoes.
• Jumpsuit made of a nicer fabric, such as silk, satin, crepe, or chiffon.
• Sparkling gemstones, pearls, and dressy fashion jewelry are all appropriate, but be careful not to overdo it.

For Men:

• A blazer with matching dress pants or a 2-piece suit, along with a dress shirt and in most cases, a tie.
• Dress shoes.

Semi-formal attire is typically worn to weddings, holiday parties, and to fine restaurants. If the event is held in the evening (after 6 p.m.), the semi-formal guidelines lean more toward the formal than if it were held during the day.
