What Do You Wear to a Casino

Every casino has some sort of dress code. Some are looser than others, stating that you should only avoid being indecent when visiting the gaming floor. However, some casinos are more formal and require picking appropriate casino outfits.

In this article, we'll explore what to wear to a casino and how a casino dress code differs for men and women. Read on.

Casino Dress Code

A dress code for a casino can significantly differ depending on the part of the world you are in. However, if you were to follow the traditional American casino dress code, you would probably have to dress semi-formal or formal.

Please take into account that some casinos might change the required attire from time to time based on the type of night you're visiting. Some of the most popular attires include smart casual, business formal/casual, semi-formal, black tie, and white tie.

• A white tie event is the most formal type of casino event, and it's something that you'll usually see in James Bond movies. It's very rare and usually reserved for special ceremonies.
• The black-tie type is slightly less formal than white-tie events, but you'll usually find that most things are the same compared to white-tie events. If it's indicated that a black tie is optional, it means you'll need to wear a tux or an evening dress only if you want.

Finally, some events which are not that big will still require some form of semi-formal, business formal, or business casual attire. Ultra casual and sloppy attires aren't fit for casinos, although there are some casinos where you aren't required to dress up in any way — just be decent.

What to Wear to a Casino: Women

If there are no special event requirements for women, any type of dress or skirt is acceptable, long or short. A black dress will be the perfect solution if it's a special casino night.

Most casinos will accept heels, sandals, flats, and more.

Casino Outfits: Men

Men can't go wrong if they choose the semi-formal look when visiting casinos. A suit would be a great idea, although it won't require a tuxedo unless specified otherwise.

Wearing a tie isn't necessary on casual casino nights.

Casino Outfits Ideas

If you're visiting a casino on a casual night and want to leave an impression, it's best to aim for the semi-formal or business casual look.

For men, a good idea is a dark three-piece suit with a necktie, leather shoes, and a white collared shirt with cuffed sleeves. In terms of the rest of the look, a metal watch is always a good addition.

For women, any type of semi-formal dress would do the trick. A black dress would suffice, but watch out not to be overdressed if there aren't any formal attire requirements.
