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/
