Business attire for men (i.e.coats and ties) and evening wear for ladies (i.e. cocktail dresses, pantsuits, etc). Casual wear, such as jeans or tennis shoes is prohibited. An alternative for men is a nice sports coat, and either a bolo tie or jewellry stud on a nehru style shirt, or even a true turtleneck shirt. For the women, the pantsuit should either be with a blazer or a nice sweater. Women don't have to wear heels, but dress shoes of some sort would be appropriate. And as always at a TORN party, Black Tie and Pointy Ear optional.
