What does "Resort Evening Attire" mean?

Question

I am attending an installation dinner for our local board of Realtors dubbed "Havana Nights." The event names the dress style "Resort Evening Attire". I know this does not mean tuxedos..but what would be the appropiate type of suit and/or colors to wear?

Answer 1

Think of the word resort, casual and comfortable, then think of evening attire, semi formal, put the two together. Look for casual but sharp suits made from, linen, or cotton blends. Any variety of winter white or beige will do. No tie, but a crisp shirt with a one button jacket, single breast and loose fitting. Shoes should be light in color, no white, but no black either. Have fun with color but stay clean and crisp.

Answer 2

I would consider this as similar to "party semi-formal" - nice slacks and non-business style (possibly patterned or multi-colored) button-down shirt with no tie or a dress (non-work colored) tie.

Think about what you would wear to a nightclub in the Carribean on Friday evening and you'll be close.

Answer 3

take what you have been trained to do that has good moral values, the ask yourself the question, will someone get hurt by my actions. look at the good as well as the bad side of all issues then decide if your actions is the very best thing to do. if your mind has doubt then take a second look. you have now followed your heart (mind). usually if you have done all the above then things will turn out ok. sometimes they will not but at least you have made the best decision that you felt was right. hope this helps. the dj man said that.

Answer 4

White Linen suit (shorts should be ok), button up shirt with a collar and slacks. Wear light/ pastel colors

Answer 5

like you are on an island not dress down but like a nice colorful shirt no tie and some slacks like you see on thee hawiann movies
