Semi-formal is a dress code that is synonymous to black tie, and indicates a level of dress between a lounge suit and white tie.[1] Other sources state that semi-formal dress is not synonymous to black tie as a tuxedo is not worn and a dark suit with tie is more appropriate.[2][unreliable source?][3][unreliable source?]
Traditionally, semi-formal calls for a dinner jacket in the evening or a stroller before six o'clock. Women traditionally wear either an evening gown or a cocktail dress, depending on the time of day.
