What do my husband and I wear to a semi-formal cocktail hour?
We got invited to a "semi-formal cocktail hour" at the law school my husband will attend this fall. What is appropriate to wear? Thanks!
you could wear a 'little black dress' or a nice skirt and a blouse, and your husband should wear a suit but maybe ditch the jacket if nobody else is wearing one.
