Formal is when gentlemen are requiered to wear a suit and tie . Ladies should wear a dress or a suit. It also depends if is and evening or day affair.
In general: ladies: no white or black dresses, no pant suits for the ladies. No jeans, capris, mini-skirts or plunging necklines. A profesional mid-lengt suit in a light color would do for you. If it's an evening affair with dancing entretaiment, a long or mid-lenght dress would be appropiate.
For men. Formal means a SUIT and a tie. No sports jackets, dockers or untied shirts. Black socks and formal shoes. No sneakers or boots. No jeans or slacks.
No tux, because in a formal reception that is only for the groom.
Black tie is when you are require to wear a tux. On a Formal event, your man is required to wear a SUIT.
I hope this helps. Good luck

First I think it's rude to tell someone that they will be turned away for not dressing how "they" feel as if you should be dressed. Everyone's idea of "formal" could be different. However, when I think of "formal" I think of the man in a nice suite or tux and the woman in a long ballgown or after 5 dress.

'formal' to me means a step down from 'black tie.' guys should be in suits (with tie of course) and ladies in formal pant suit or dress. Nothing too flashy, nothing too simple. Think black, grays, burgandys, they always look formal, stay away from soft pinks or pastels, they look too casual. Hope this helps, also if you need any ideas just search on the internet for 'formal attire' likely will lead to sites with pictures of clothes that are of 'formal' attire. good luck!

Misha, formal is just a way of saying do not not come in Kmart or Walmart...other words no jeans or the everyday clothing.
Take a look at www.tailorontheroad.com where various styles and designs are listed in the respective pages. Get an attire tailored or have a photo of something you want made, send the photo and we will copy it.

Formal is: For men - suit and tie (maybe even a tux if you have one). For women: Long dress and jewelrey. I would call a boutique maybe, who is use to dressing people for formal occasions, and ask them their opinions. Or you can even look on line under ask.com, and ask "How to dress formal" and it will give you tons of websites you can look at for examples.

Call your friend who is getting married for clarification. Formal usually refers to tux/ suit and formal dresses...if you're still confused go to a local department store (Dillards, etc.) and tell them your situation, usually a sales person can help.

Well black tie is formal, I think
That means a tux for him and a black gown for you.
The rules are getting more relaxed now, letting women wear colors, and men Windsor knots.
