The difference between Casual attire and semi formal attire?

Question:

Answers:
Casual Attire can be any clothes in which you can feel very relaxed. They could be T-shirts and Jeans, shorts, funky shirts, designer jeans, cool shoes or any such clothes/apperals which do not make you have a serious/formal look

Semi Formal are those clothes which are neither casual neither formal which means like a decent shirt with jeans, shirts and pants. These clothes make you look a bit serious/formal but still make you look relaxed. A few things which diffrentiates it from formal is that tie and coats are not worn.

Thats the basic diffrence between these two.

Other Answers:
Casual would be nakes. Any clothing would be semi formal

semi formal is like business attire, casual is like jeans, t-shirts etc.

for a girl casual could mean anything semi-formal means wear a dress. A nice one, but not a ballroom gown.

it is easiest to describe when talking about men's clothes
semi formal is a suit and tie
casual can be jeans or slacks with a sports jacket, a fairly loose dress code

Casual: Jeans, T-Shirt, Jean Skirt, Polos, Shorts, etc.

Semi-Formal: Shirt and Tie, Nice Slacks (non-jean and no sweats), Cute Skirt, Nice Blouse, Cocktail Dress, etc.

Formal: Ball gown, Tux, prom dress, etc.

Casual is like khakis and a golf shirt for men. Nice pants, khakis or a nice-ish dress for a woman. Something cotton, linen, etc.

Semi-formal usually means suit for the men with a tie. For the women, it is kind of complicated. It's not quite Oscars nice (that would be formal), but it is still appropriate to wear long dresses, especially in the evening, but nothing with a train or super-sequined. It is a step above what you might wear to church. Think satins and nice silks. Also, if you will be wearing it in the evening, you are expected to be more formal than for a morning or afternoon event.

Really, it is an outfit by outfit decision. Also, keep in mind that accessories like jewelry and shoes and hair can take a casual outfit and pump it up to semi-formal.

Hope that helps!
