cocktail attire
Party dress code
Cocktail attire is a dress code for semi-formal evening events—more polished than business casual but less formal than black tie.
For women, it typically means a knee-length dress; for men, a dark suit without a tie or with an optional one.
The invitation said cocktail attire, so I wore my little black dress.
