Tenue de Ville
The term 'tenue de Ville is a French phrase meaning 'city clothes'. It was once used to refer to the fancy outfits worn by people when out and about in cities. Nowadays, it describes clothing worn for more formal occasions such as galas. If you are attending a posh event, it is best to wear a darker outfit. Keep accessories to a minimum, as the focus should be on the host or hostess, not your outfit.
