MEN'S GUIDE FOR DRESS CODES

It might be difficult to follow the dress code or wear the appropriate outfit. People frequently make mistakes with it. This blog will help you to gain some knowledge about dress codes or consider this as a guide to appropriate attire for each dress code. 

CASUAL 

This code is really easy to understand and comfy. You can literally wear your favorite clothes for this.

The proper attire is a t-shirt, jeans, and sneakers. If you want to dress it up a bit, you could wear khakis, cargos, a polo shirt, or a henley and still blend in. Avoid wearing graphic t-shirts with rude or incendiary content!

BUSINESS CASUAL

Many people choose to dress in business casual when they go to the office or work. 

Put on a classy pair of khakis and a collared shirt, such as a polo. It is OK to wear loafers or dress shoes.  Iron your shirt and pants to prevent creases! When compared to their solid counterparts, collared patterned shirts are a wonderful alternative.

Here also, you can be creative. Express yourself by innovating your ideas for this dress code. 

SMART CASUAL

Count this as a combination of casual, business casual and business dress codes. This attire code is also known as Dressy Casual. This is an outfit that is both fashionable and professional.

This is your chance to wear a sport coat with jeans. You should also consider adding ties, vests, khakis, and pants to the mix.  If you decide to wear jeans, they should be in good condition with no wear or holes and seem slightly professional.

BUSINESS / INFORMAL

The term ''informal clothing'' may be misleading because it does need some formality (not to be confused with casual clothing is less sophisticated than business and formal apparel, which frequently indicates the necessity for suits and ties.

Put on a tie and work suit. You can also choose to wear classy pants, a sports jacket, and a tie.

SEMI FORMAL

A step below formal tuxedos and extravagant dresses, semi-formal wear is more opulent than work attire.

Put on a long, dark tie and a suit. Advice: For males in particular, the more formal the dress code, the less flexibility you have in choosing your selections.

FORMAL / BLACK TIE / BLACK TIE OPTIONAL 

Black Tie, Formal, and Black Tie The dress code for optional events is typically the most formal of all, and you'll probably be surrounded by people wearing floor-length dresses and tuxedos.

Put on a tuxedo complete with all the extras (vest/cummerbund, cufflinks, etc.). You can also choose to dress in a black suit with a white shirt and a formal tie for a black tie optional event. A Black Tie dress code does not require you to wear solely "black" ties; instead, you can choose a black tuxedo and any complementary tie or cummerbund color of your choice.
