Suit & Tie
Translation: With this dress code, women wonder, So what do I wear? The answer:
pulled-together, not-too-naked stuff. The flared skirt here is flirty but not
risqué—silk and satin evening fabrics add a certain mad
extravagance.
Variations: Its slightly formal connotations make
black-and-white totally appropriate. Bare legs? No problem. And you can go a
little crazy on accessories.
AKA: "Bring your suit," "dark suit," "jacket
requested," "dark and chic," "semiformal."
