I have a christmas party that says "dressy casual" on the invitation...anyone have any idea what the hell that means? Sounds like a contradiction in terms to me...

For men, just nice business casual.

Wear slacks, a button down and a coat. For women it probably has more significance.

Literally just dealt with this a couple weeks ago.

In Ascension Parish, it means:
It means nice jeans and a polo or button up for guys (cowboy boots are acceptable shoes)

Women wear cute dresses

This. Short sleeve button downs are the worst.

I'd go jeans, oxford, jacket. If I'm planning to get hammered I might wear a Christmas themed bowtie. (I wore a Frosty the Snowman last night.)

probably a suit with no tie. You're better with a darker suit, black or navy.

Really doesn't matter with men. Just wear the above and you'll be fine.

SSBDs are awesome if you're a 9th grade religion teacher.
