Cocktail attire technically means a suit for men, and a cocktail dress for women, which usually means a short dress (preferably not career wear). I prefer a little black dress -- and depending how formal you think the event is, you can glam it up with accessories. Of course you have lots of leniency in what you wear -- a dressy pantsuit, a lovely skirt and top, etc. Everyone interprets the meaning of dress requests differently.

For women it would be a knee length dress (called "cocktail length"). I always feel black is teh best choice, however, it depends on the occasion and location of where it is taking place.
For men, it would be a sport coat, or a suit. A tie would be nice, but not sure that it is necessary. Guess the men will have to answer that one.

For women u can wear a nice dress that goes just below the knee. Don't go for a long dress. U can wear a nice skirt with a blouse too. But the fabric should be silk or something that looks like you normally wouldn't dress with that to go to work.
U can also wear black pants with a fancy blouse.
Shoes are important too.

For a classy one, men in business wear, ladies in a black cocktail dress. If it is casual, upscale casual
