What is semi-formal attire?
Semi-formal is a dressed-up look that stops short of a tuxedo. For men that means a well-fitted suit in a dark or neutral color, a dress shirt, a tie, and dress shoes. It is the right call for evening weddings, dinners, and parties where a tux is too much but a blazer is too little.

Semi-formal questions, answered
What is semi-formal attire for men?
A tailored suit in a dark or neutral color with a dress shirt, a tie, and dress shoes. Renting a complete suit package is the easiest way to get every piece to match.
Is a suit considered semi-formal?
Yes. A well-fitted suit is the core of semi-formal attire. A tuxedo is a step above and reserved for formal or black tie events.
Do you have to wear a tie for semi-formal?
A tie is the safe choice and always looks sharp. For a more relaxed daytime event you can skip it, but keep the rest of the suit crisp.
What color suit works best for semi-formal?
Navy, charcoal, and gray are the most versatile. Tan and lighter blues work well for daytime and warm-weather events.
Can you wear a tuxedo to a semi-formal event?
A tuxedo is usually too formal for semi-formal. A dark suit is the right level. Save the tuxedo for black tie or formal events.
How much does a semi-formal suit rental cost?
A complete suit package rents from $159 with everything but the shoes, shipped free both ways. The groom rents free when five people rent.
