Explain 'cocktail attire' please ?

I know about cocktail dresses, but apparently there is a whole spectrum of deportment associated with it that I've never twigged with. I'm not a formal dressing person usually.

Apparently every woman has a LBD (little black dress) but does that 'fit' into 'cocktail wear'? I'm not sure it does as LBD's are for dressing slutty.

keep the neckline and hemline appropriate. if you wouldn't want your boss to see it leave it in the closet
use a clutch shows you're refined
wear 1 accessory pearls are nice
wear heels
enjoy your party

🤷🏼‍♂️

I only possess three outfits.
1. Rugby/polo shirt and jeans
2. Suit, shirt and tie
3. My birthday suit

I'd pick one of them as appropriate to situation.

Weddings? I've never worn a suit/tie but over 30 yrs ago when I worked in retail I wore a tie. Never been to a wedding myself or any sort of formal function.
