That should be clear enough - surely everyone knows what a lounge suit is.

Not sure where you are. People in the US would most certainly misunderstand. I am from the US. My understanding is that a lounge suit is a business suit. How are your needs not covered by a business suit? Maybe "Coat and tie required" might work?

It depends who you are sending the invite to. Maybe just "suit" or "business suit" would be better.
Are you inviting any females? A woman can wear a business suit but not a lounge suit.

I would understand but I think I'd be in a minority, and dress codes are becoming rather old fashioned these days. The term 'smart casual' seems to be more in use these days for less formal occasions than 'business suits'.

Lounge dress is commonly known as PJs

Careful, that might just be what they show up in. How about "tie required". If you address the men women will follow suit.

Try "Smart-Casual" this usually denotes not suit but smartly dressed also suggests no Jeans (or not ripped jeans)

I always thought a longue suit meant pipe and slippers.

What is a 'lounge suit'?

i don't understand what you're talking about... descriptive is always better in regards to required attire for a business outing... don't be afraid to be specific... and give out your number in case there are any questions. good luck! ;)
