Question
What is the dress code?
Answer
Cocktail Dress "Cocktail attire needs some effort regarding appearance and presentation but isn’t as strict as Black Tie dress codes. For men, this traditionally calls for a suit with a tie. However, a more modern take on event cocktail attire could be a colorful suede blazer with alternative color pants (think smart black or grey). For women, this generally means dresses (usually knee length or longer), jewelry and accessories, and a darker or neutral color tone. Feel feel to incorporate springtime florals." -https://meetings.skift.com/15-dress-code-ideas-and-tips/
