Semi-Formal / Cocktail
Dressier than everyday, but not full glam.Your go-to: Midi or mini dresses, sleek jumpsuits, or a dressy co-ord. Add statement earrings, a cute clutch and heels or polished flats.
Formal / Black Tie Optional
Time to step it up.Best picks: A long or midi dress with elegant fabric like satin or chiffon. Pair with heels, elevated accessories and a sleek bag. Jumpsuits are still welcome just keep it luxe.
Black Tie
Full glam, please.Dress code decoded: Floor-length dress or a high-impact cocktail dress in an elevated fabric. Think bold jewelry, high heels, a clutch — and a bit of red lipstick if you’re feeling it.
Themed or Unusual Dress Codes
Garden party, beach chic, rustic, boho luxe? When in doubt, go for refined versions of the theme and always double check the invite or couple’s wedding site.One rule always stands: Never wear white. Let the couple shine and save your bright-white moments for another time.
