↓ What Not to Wear to a Semi-Formal Event

The picture below explains the different types or categories of outfits for men and what sort of a general look is perceived for semi-formal outfits. Coming towards items that can not be worn to a semi-formal occasion, these include shorts, flip flops, boots, jeans, snapback caps, sportswear shirts and other such items. Another outfit to avoid is a linen suit as it can look too casual at a semi-formal event.

To sum up, dressing for a black tie or formal event is always the easiest because you know exactly what your options are. The semi-formal wear is confusing because it leaves the event’s dress code up to your own interpretation. We hope that the ideas we shared will make this interpretation much easier, the next time you get invited to a semi-formal event. And remember that if you ever feel like you can’t decide what look to go for, a black suit without the tie is the safest option.
