There are strict and set classifications for men's wear! You'll want to review the article linked from the Home Page, Cracking the Dress Code:

EVENING SEMI-FORMAL: Black dinner jacket or white in summer (tuxedo).
​

You just have to hope the host knows the Dress Codes!

That's where to problem lies. I know what semi-formal is but based on my experiences, I do not think the majority of the people that may show up to this event do. If that is the case, I will be the one who appears to be in the wrong. I wouldn't want to spend most of me evening explaining myself to people.

In addition, there is a lot of misinformation on the internet now. Most articles will tell you semi-formal means a suit or even less.

I think I will play it safe and show up to the wedding in a suit. If most are in back tie I think I will skip the reception to avoid embarrassment.

Easy! Just print off copies of my article, Cracking the Dress Code, linked on the Home Page and hand them out to the ignorant!! :icon_smile_big:

It will be an educational event then.
