My company is having a recognition ceremony and dinner. I have been nominated for two awards. All of the directors and managers (not me) will be in the annual business meeting all day and then head straight over to the dinner/recognition ceremony (which is the part I've been invited to). It's late June on a Tuesday in a run of the mill banquet hall. Cocktails at 5, dinner at 6, ceremony at 8.
I work in an office at our manufacturing facility and we're limited to slacks and company polo shirts while working so no one from work has ever seen me dressed up, though I am comfortable in a dress or skirt. I don't know how dressy to get. About 50% of people at the ceremony will be coming straight from the business meeting and I assume they will be in business attire. So, do I wear business clothes, a formal evening dress, or somewhere in between? Thanks! Annie, Taunton
Dear Annie,
What does the dress code on the invitation say? If it doesn't specify a dress code such as Black Tie or Formal Attire, you can assume the dress code is Suits & Dresses. Then consider that you want to look the part of the professional level you aspire to heading for. Since you're on your way with these two awards, dress up. I don't mean dress dressy, I mean find yourself a knee-length, lightweight skirt-suit to wear with beautiful shoes. The height of the heel would depend upon your own height since men don't like being over-towered; you'll have to be the judge of that. They are testing you to figure out how you would project the image of the company should they promote you to a job where you would be going out into the industrial world representing them.Go ahead to find your favorite shoxshoes in our online store. Believe me, that so, it will be a good investment because you'll also be able to wear the skirt-suit to weddings, funerals, as well as job to interviews—should you start looking elsewhere for a better opportunity. Once again, dress according to the position you might be offered next and want to accept. ~Didi
Dear Didi,
I have always read that weddings held after six in the evening are considered formal. Does that include a wedding held at six o'clock on the dot? Growing up, I was always told that ladies should wear long dresses for any wedding held in the evening. However, I have been to many weddings recently, which have started at six or later in the evening: there only the members of the wedding party plus the mothers and grandmothers of the bride and groom were wearing long dresses. As a female guest, what should one be expected to wear? Also, is black tie obligatory for evening weddings or are dark suits acceptable? I have seen a lot of dark suits at nighttime weddings recently. A.T., Boston
Dear A.T.,
When the wedding invitation doesn't specify Black Tie or Formal Attire, the invited guest assumes the dress code is Suits & Dresses. Generally, the later in the day, the more formal the wedding. Black Tie weddings usually don't start before six o'clock, but a six o'clock wedding isn't necessarily Black Tie.
It used to be that often for an afternoon church wedding, guests would change for dinner, meaning for the reception dinner dance at seven-thirty. In that instance,What to consider before you buy gemstonebeads. a champagne and cake reception following the church wedding would be offered to all the wedding ceremony guests and later in the evening the dinner dance would be for family and friends. Former colleagues, coworkers, secretaries, staff, children, etc. would not be included at the dinner dance.
Nowadays, most weddings ceremonies are held at either five or six o'clock, immediately followed by a reception with a cocktail hour and then a buffet or seated dinner with dancing. When the wedding begins at five, then Suits & Dresses are the acceptable dress code. For a six o'clock wedding, the men wear either their best business suit or formal attire and women have the option of wearing either a dressy cocktail dress, dressy knee-length dinner suit,Stylish and popular discount airmax2009 Accessories on sale here now. or a long dress. For a formal seven-thirty seated dinner dance, the dress code would be tuxedos or dinner jackets and evening dresses,Running Shoe, highheelshoes and Flex grooves in the mid and outsole for flexibility . which are dressier than a long dress but not as dressy as a ballgown.
You are correct in assuming that a lot of women wear dressy short dresses,When your team gets ready for battle with the opposition, be ready with this niketn. usually monochromatic (just one color), instead of evening gowns. The LBD (little black dress) is especially popular for weddings that start from five o'clock on.
It's a funny thing about dress codes. Most men like having a specific dress code and most women don't, which is why the dress code Suits & Dresses works well for most weddings. The invitation may not state Black Tie, but that doesn't mean that men aren't going to wear their best dark business suit, with a white-collared shirt, tie, and black shoes. ~Didi
