Rainbow Formal

Rainbow formal is a dress code similar to black tie, where the attendees to the event (normally a ball or awards ceremony) are required to not wear the usual white shirt, with black tie, jacket and trousers and instead wear more colourful attire.

dumb formal

to describe the kind of 'unwritten uniform' worn by certain professions (i.e teachers) to work. This is what happens when 'smart casual' goes to work.

I like the way you've jazzed up your slack and crisp white collared shirt look with that snazzy navy blue cardigan.

It's what the dumb formal look is all about.
