What To Wear When The Invite Calls For "Festive Attire"
What Color And Type Of Shoes Do I Wear With Brown Dress Pants?
Q. My husband and I will be attending an evening gala that is cocktail chic. What type of clothing is cocktail chic? Any suggestions for both of us?
A. "Cocktail Chic" is similar to "Cocktail Attire" but with a little extra room for interpretation. Typical cocktail attire consists of short party dresses for women and dark suits for men. Cocktail Chic includes these items but can also include more creative combinations like a dressy top and pants for women or sport coats and blazers for men. Listen to the "chic" part of the dress code and wear something stylish and modern, rather than safe and classic.
