In the fall, I feel like the after work events step it up a notch. Gone are the crowded patio happy hours and shorts uniform backyard barbecues. Instead, wine tastings in cozy restaurants and small dinner parties take the stage as the days grow shorter and the evening invites candles, fireplaces and low light lamps to set the mood.

Your work ensemble needs to adapt as well to accommodate these after work events and their dressier requirements.
