If we have an admitted reception at a law firm, what is the dress code supposed to be for those? (for a woman

)
Thanks

I went to one in NYC with jeans and a button down shirt. Looks like people who came from work are in business clothes and the rest are presentable casual. People drank alcohol and had a good time so I don't think it was that important.

I went to one that was supposed to be "business casual," but everybody was dressed in cocktail party attire. I felt like I stuck out.
(I'm a woman.)

I always wear a blouse and a black skirt or black pants. That way you are right in the middle, and won't look too over or under dressed.

I went to a Mich one right after work so I was in business casual. Most of the admits seemed to be the same, though there were a few in jeans and a button down, etc. I think as long as you don't show up in sweatpants or something I think you'll be fine.
