It is a dress code that requires a formal outfit but with a degree of relaxation. It is not as formal as the black tie dress code, so women are free to play with colour and prints and are not restricted to only wearing dresses. Jumpsuits, pant suits and South Asian formal are also suitable.

As this is an evening event, please consider mid to floor length attire, but to keep comfort in mind - light, floaty fabrics may help you beat the Colombo heat!

What is a lounge suit dress code for men?

It is a dress code that requires a formal outfit comprising of a formal shirt and suit, with tie optional. However, there is no need to wear tuxedo jackets or bow ties.

As Sri Lanka will be hot and humid this time of year we encourage you to be formal but comfortable. You may choose to opt for light weight fabrics when considering your attire. A linen suit would be perfect!
