My rule of thumb is that if you are unsure of the attire for an event, always over dress. But, be prepared to "undress" or"dress up" as necessary. For example, if a man gets an invitation to an event that says business casual attire, I would recommend wearing a jacket and bringing a tie. Usually business casual for a man means no tie but sometimes it can mean tie, no jacket. Also, I would never recommend very casual pants like kakhis. Opt for suit pants or nice slacks. Dress is very dependent on the company and industry. Thus, be prepared to make a change on the fly. The same is true for women. Wear a dress that you can put a jacket over. If it is a more casual event than you anticipated, take of the jacket and you are ready to mix and mingle. The important thing is that you came prepared and can feel confident as you go throughout the evening without worrying that you have under-dressed. So dress up and get out there!
