What exactly does semi-formal mean??? Will security understand fashion from tacky???
We do not want to limit fashionistic expression but this is New Years' Eve, which is normally a completely formal nite. We want people to show up and show out! So, don't dress as loosely as you would going to the club but be so up tight that you cramp your own style.
The Swissotel Chicago Security staff will make the final say-so so be advised. They will also be checking I.D.'s at check-in to make sure everyone attending the event is 21+! ALL TICKET SALES are final and are NON-REFUNDABLE!
