What is an engagement party dress code?

An engagement party dress code will likely fall into one of four basic categories: casual, semi-formal, formal, or black tie. Check the invitation for a dress code or text the hostess of the party.

• Casual: This is the most relaxed dress code, meaning it’s also pretty versatile. For women, floral patterns evoke feelings of romance and joy, which is very fitting for the occasion. 
• Semi-formal: Right in between casual and cocktail attire is semi-formal, which is a step above casual but not quite as dressed up as cocktail. 
• Formal and black tie dress codes would look glam with a dressy cocktail dress or floor-length gown.

A daytime engagement party calls for casual clothes but cocktail or evening parties require semi-formal or formal attire.

Transition your dress into fall by choosing accessories (jewelry, shoes, hair ornaments) in one or more of the fall colors. Fall colors are reds, oranges, greens, golds, browns and purples so you have numerous choices.  A colorful necklace would draw attention upward to your face if you wear white or nude color shoes.
