Evening invitation
A dress code is indicated on an invitation. So, what should you
wear?
What to wear:
Smart casual – A meeting with no official
programme and without the obligation to wear a suit. Cotton trousers,
a classic shirt in white or pale blue and a light sweater wrapped
around the shoulders is the perfect outfit for such an occasion.
A sand-coloured cotton suit and a pair of Loafers would also suit.
Basic requirement is the finest quality of the clothing.
Black Tie – ‘Smoking’ is required.
The ‘Smoking’ was invented in English gentlemen smoking
clubs at the end of last century. In America it is more commonly
known as the Tuxedo.
White Tie – Tail coat is required. This is
definitely the king of festive gentlemen's clothing. It is combined
with a white and generously cut Piqué waistcoat, a white dress
shirt, white bow and black patent-leather shoes. |
