This style code originally comes from office culture and is mostly used for invitations that take place directly after working hours. It is therefore business fashion that can easily be styled for the evening.

So you arrive at the after-work dinner in the same way you leave the office in your business attire. For an individual touch, the tie can be loosened and the blazer replaced with a high-quality cardigan. However, the shirt remains closed and the shoulders covered. The clothing should look smart, but still represent a certain degree of individuality. If you know your boss and colleagues well, you can dress more casually.

For private invitations: Don't dress up! Wear what you like - within the limits of the dress code, of course. However, do it with style! The main difficulty here is not to appear over- or underdressed.

As indicated, the attire here can be somewhat more casual: The tie can be loosened or removed depending on the atmosphere. However, you cannot do without a suit and shirt. Some bosses keep the dress code a little more relaxed and allow you to take off your jacket. Sporty suits are a good alternative to the classic pinstripe suit.

For private occasions, a modern cut shirt is often worn with jeans and desert boots. A simple retro watch makes the look cool.

For business occasions, women are also required to wear a suit. This can be a trouser suit in muted, dark colors. Alternatively, a suit or a combination of black trousers and a high-quality blouse or sweater can be chosen.

The more daring can opt for a pencil skirt combined with an elegant top instead of a blouse or a shift dress worn with high heels instead of flats.

If you are following a private invitation, a silk blouse with jeans, pumps and a cardigan - elegant in caramel and beige tones - is also conceivable. Young women wear a vintage-look dress with wedges.

No-Gos! As easy as this dress code may seem, none is more often misunderstood. "Come as you are" is not a free pass for a lack of formality: jeans shorts, flip-flops and casual shirts are better left in the wardrobe. But being overdressed can also be ridiculed: Who wants to stand at the barbecue in platform heels?
