As per the title what is your interpretation of a dress code if it says cocktail?

I have an invite next week for a film premiere, and I'm not sure if this should be black tie, dinner suit or something else?

Help please!

Surely if it says 'cocktail', then you HAVE to go in a little dress.

Put the pics up here.

Actually a decent suit and tie is required. Trainers are out (unless you star in the film

But it's probably American, so probably a load of tittoids.

Haha thanks for the replies, TT if you're finished with my gimp suit, please kindly dry clean it and return it before Wednesday.

You haven't got tickets to the Bond premiere have you?? I'll die withe envy if you have

fitzscoob

I have

Its not the VVIP premiere, its the night after hosted by one of the other major partners of the brand.

Cocktail is alright - I was once given an invite to someone's 40th on a private beach on Cap Ferrat that said "dress code : Beachside chic". Try that out on your other half...

Given that most of the people there were going to be arriving by their own private jet (we arrived on easy jet) it almost caused Mrs FB to have a breakdown

Me - unshaven, Hawaiian shirt, Bermudas, flip flops and shades total cost about 50 quid -fitted in beautifully

Mrs FB - about 3 grands worth of clothes, 8 weeks of mental anguish before and a month after of "did you think my outfit it was alright then" - questions which clearly no bloke in his right mind is going to give a straight answer on

Cocktail = lounge suit for the men. Tie preferrable but not always required

fitzscoob

Ok so silly question time, what dictates a "lounge suit"?

Am I thinking a nice suit with a non work-shirt, no tie, would fit the bill?

Don't forget to finger a bird in the cloak room. Pics or it didn't happen

fitzscoob

Is "cloak room" a new term for a lady place?

Leslie

A smart suit should do the business.

I reckon you would would get away with 'Back Tie' too..... this was my initial impression TBH..... esp. at a James Bond do.... the place will be crawling with 'tuxes...
(and flange)

well the premiere was last night, and it was fantastic!

if you're a Bond fan and you liked Casino Royale, you will love this film.

Aston Martin kindly kept the champagne and beer flowing until the wee hours, a fantastic new experience for me.

highlight notwithstanding the film was asking a ginger girl to get out of the way so I could get to the gents, and realising it was Princess Beatrice

Dr Hu

- cool

How did you wangle that then you jammy git...

fitzscoob

We are one of the partners of the film alongside Aston Martin, Sony etc. but on a much smaller scale.

Head is pounding, had 3 hours sleep - all for a worthy cause though.

Torquemada

Sounds like it was a good show.

Can't wait to go see it.

fitzscoob

The film was really good. I wont spoil it for you, but there's a scene where Bond fights an assasin, and the suitcase we made is an intergral component.

Loved it, will be taking the mrs this weekend to go see it.

Leslie

What did they mean by "cocktail suit" after all that anyway?

Les

fitzscoob

Hi Les, generally speaking the ladies wore what I would class as wedding type outfits and the guys wore a mixture of suits, and smart jackets.

There were a smattering of tie wearers and I spotted one cravat.

Leslie

Yes ok-so the smart suit was perfectly ok then.

You must have enjoyed it anyway.

Les

fitzscoob

Yup the smart suit and lively shirt combo was ideal.

Had a fantastic time thanks, rather over indulged with the drink though

Glad you enjoyed it.

On another note, I once supplied equipment to a Bond film but never got an invite....bugger.

Did you cop a sneaky feel as you squeezed past her?
