Semi-formal/cocktail attire is a polished balance of elegance and comfort, falling between formal and casual wear.
For Women:
Opt for a knee-length, tea-length, or midi dress. Chic pantsuits or dressy jumpsuits are also great alternatives. Pair with heels or dressy flats and refined accessories. Avoid full-length gowns or anything too casual.
For Men:
Wear a well-tailored suit (darker colors for evening, lighter for daytime events). Pair with a crisp, collared dress shirt, polished dress shoes, and a tie (highly recommended). Blazers with dress pants are also acceptable for semi-formal, but a full suit is preferred for cocktail attire.
