What is a Semi Formal Dress?

Semi Formal Dress a term which is often misunderstood, when it is a dress code for events. Unlike others the rules for semi formals are not that strict as it leaves a space for your comfort and own experiments. Thus it often leaves a room for misunderstandings about what to wear and what not to wear.

Let me tell you what A Semi Formal Dress is...

Semi formal dress is a dress which is less than formal but more formal than casuals or cocktail attire. So now when we know that what does a Semi Formal Dress mean, let’s me tell you about the Do’s and Don’ts.

The Do’s:

Shirt: A white button down shirt or a shirt with plain light subtle pattern and stripes would be a great choice as any other shirt, than this will overdo your semi formal outfit.

• It is important that you wear a clean and ironed shirt. You will not have a good impression if you’ve worn it wrinkly or unclean.
• If the shirt has subtle patterns make it a point that it matches with your suit but not with a exact same colour but a colour of same family.

Suit: Even if it’s the semi formal attire you will have to wear a suit and avoid a tuxedo. A suit is always an ideal wardrobe for the semi formal attire. Well the colour of your suit also differs with the time of the event you are attending. A day time event will demand a light colour suit whereas an evening event will fit a dark shade of suit. Make sure that your suit has the right fit and fit’s your physic and isn’t loose, too tight, wrinkled or unclean.

Accessories:

• You can choose a simple tie for that matches your semi formal attire. It should be light for light colours suit and vice versa.
• You can also experiment with a few patterns but remember do not make it too silly.
• You can add some flair with a white colour scarf. A silk scarf would do its charm.
• A watch would be a good idea.
• Cufflinks can act as a smart trick to enhance your outfit.
• Wear a leather belt matching your attire.
• Put your foot forward with leather shoes of the same family colour of your suit.

The Don’ts:

• A big no to Jeans and T-shirts. They will make you look under dressed. Jeans cannot be worn with a suit.
• Sports Coats is also a big no.
• Avoid a tuxedo; it will do the work of a spoil sport.
• Too much of accessories will ruin your look so be careful.

A Few Tips:

• Do not forget to shave your face before attending an semi formal event.
• Do not forget to clean your shoes if they are dirty.
• Do not forget to tuck in your shirt.
• Remember to style your hair.

In the end apply your favourite cologne to add some elegance.
