• Semiformal dress attire strikes a balance between formal and casual, aiming for a polished and elegant appearance without the ​strictness of formal wear. It typically involves wearing outfits that are neat, stylish, and slightly dressy.

• For women, this might include well-fitted dresses or skirts that fall around knee-length or longer, paired with tops that have a ​sophisticated design. Pantsuits or tailored slacks with a classy blouse are also suitable. The key is to choose outfits that are structured ​and refined, avoiding anything overly casual or revealing.
  

• For men, a semiformal look often includes a suit or a smart jacket paired with dress slacks and a collared shirt. Ties are optional but can ​add a more polished touch to the outfit. The overall style should be clean, sharp, and suitable for an upscale event, without reaching ​the level of a black-tie dress code.
  

• Footwear should complement the outfit, with dress shoes or heels being the preferred choice, avoiding anything too casual like ​sneakers or sandals.
  

• The goal of semiformal attire is to look put-together and elegant while maintaining a level of comfort and personal style.
  

• Items to avoid include graphic jeans, t-shirts, and casual footwear, as these are not appropriate for a semiformal dress code.
