Definition of Semi-Formal Dress

The fashion term "semi-formal" sounds pretty vague, as though a wide range of attire might fit the description. When choosing semi-formal attire, think of weddings where guests do not necessarily have to wear tuxedos [t⁄\k’sidəus] and ball gowns, which is formal attire, but also should not wear denim and sundresses, which is casual attire. Semi-formal attire is a step down from formal attire, but is more formal than casual attire.

Women can wear dresses, skirts or pant suit s in a formal environment and dress pants and blouses or shirts otherwise. Both sexes should wear polished shoes, and a heel height of 1.5 inches (4 см) is appropriate for women.

The nature of the event, including the time of day, may also help you interpret "semi-formal." An evening wedding, for example, or a gala fundraiser are still rather formal events, so semi-formal attire typically involves darker colors and more formal fabrics. A daytime wedding or event can include lighter colors and fabrics. It's also important to note the season when choosing colors and fabrics: winter demands suits and dresses of appropriate weight and darker colors, while summer can bring out the opposite.

Accessories should be understated. The workplace is not the right environment for big-hoop earrings or ostentatious bracelets, necklaces, rings and other jewelry, or stiletto heels. Piercings and tattoos should be kept hidden if possible while you are at work, especially if you are working directly with customers or clients in a conservative business.

In short, an appropriate business wardrobe should be appropriate to your particular workplace. Exercise 1.
