Mrs. U always wears "flats" on account of her blood clot and it's never, ever been a problem.

What is "required" is another story.
Semi-formal means different things to different people. Technically, it means Black-tie, with White-tie being formal. But then others think it means suits or sport-coats, while others think it means "No jeans." A few think it means you must cover yourself. If someone tells me, "semi-formal" I start asking questions.TheRustyScupper said:1) Hot is not, but attire IS NOT an option.
2) This is ALWAYS semi-formal.
3) Men - jackets (tie optional, but HIGHLY recommended)
4) Frin and bear it.
5) Upscale dining should be accompanied by upscale attire.

The word "upscale" is one I don't understand. Nobody I know uses it, except my pretentious SIL and I won't ask her because I doubt she uses it properly.
What does that word mean?????

You do realize, don't you, that you just contradicted yourself, within the same paragraph?No, tie is not part of the dress code ... you will be told that for gentlemen jacket is required, tie optional.
