The Invitation Translator

Do you receive an invitation and look at the dress code and think what the f@#K? I have you covered guys don't stress. Lately I have assisted so many men buy outfits for Black Tie, Cocktail and business functions and boy or boy if I left these men shop on their own they would be  a red carpet 'DON'T DO'. Ok, so let us take it one step at a time you get home and your partner shows you an invaition she just received in the mail and she is jumping up and down excited to throw on a long gown and you just want to throw back a few beers. Follow my style guide on what to wear so you have more time to throw down the beer while watching the game.
