How do you describe attire for an event?

* 'Attire' for an event means a 'dress code' or the clothes you choose to wear. If going to a special high-end event a woman can't go wrong with a black cocktail dress and a little jewelry (keep it simple and neat, yet attractive.) Men should wear a suit to certain events, but if casual anything can go as far as attire. It's best to call the Host or Hostess to find out what their dress code is going to be if it's a special event.
