What To Wear To A Business Dinner

You've been invited to a business dinner and you're not sure what to wear. You may leave directly from the office, or arrive by airplane. Either way, you need to be prepared.

Whether your office is a business or business casual environment, always dress professionally. If your company is conservative, opt for the tailored suit and a vintage inspired blouson. You can add color (and fun) in your shoes. Perhaps red heels. For business casual, same pants and top, drop the jacket and add a belted cardigan. If your company allows for a little creative interpretation, go for the fishnet print skirt, cropped jacket and studded booties. The handbag is appropriate for all of the above scenarios.



Men, for a conservative work environment, stick with your suit and tie and dress shoes. If your company is a bit more relaxed, go for color in your shirt and drop the tie. The charcoal gray pants look fantastic with this dark teal colored shirt. You can ease off the dress shoe and instead wear a rubber soled oxford.
