Cocktail Attire

Do's for Cocktail Attire

Cocktail attire means wearing something more elevated than&nbsp;<a href="https://www.theknot.com/content/what-to-wear-semi-formal" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">semi-formal</a>&nbsp;attire but less dressy than&nbsp;<a href="https://www.theknot.com/content/formal-wedding-attire" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">formal attire</a>. In other words, a suit and tie or well-tailored blazer and dress pants are preferable for men, while jumpsuits and mini, knee-length and midi cocktail dresses are great options for women.&nbsp;For a summer cocktail attire wedding, you can wear a suit without a tie or a sportcoat and slacks.&nbsp;This will help if you're worried about Florida heat! "Wear dresses or skirts that allow for a bit of a breeze and are made from lightweight fabrics such as chiffon, charmeuse, jersey, crepe and viscose." When it comes to silhouettes, steer clear of anything overly form-fitting. For outdoor summer wedding attire, you can't go wrong with an A-line style.

Don'ts for Cocktail Attire

Now that you know what your options are, you might be wondering: What&nbsp;isn't appropriate for cocktail attire? We're breaking down the don'ts below. Jeans:&nbsp;While it's certainly possible to polish up a pair of jeans with a dress shirt and blazer, a cocktail wedding isn't the appropriate time to do so. Shorts:&nbsp;As with jeans, shorts aren't an appropriate choice for a cocktail attire wedding. Stick with dress pants, jumpsuits and dresses. Sneakers:&nbsp;For shoes, you'll want to stick with formal options—think oxfords, loafers or derbies for men and flats or heels for women.&nbsp; Flip-Flops:&nbsp;Open-toed shoes are okay, but flip-flops and casual sandals aren't cocktail appropriate.
