Short answer: whatever you'd wear to drinks with a friend at a nice bar. Comfortable beats impressive every time.
A few guidelines
- Smart casual. Nobody needs a suit or a cocktail dress.
- Something you've worn before, so you're not adjusting it all night.
- Shoes you can stand in for fifteen minutes before the start.
- A layer: rooms warm up fast once twenty-four people are talking.
What not to worry about
Nobody is judging your outfit after the first ten seconds. What people remember is whether you listened and whether you made them laugh.
