The other day my good friend Captain Pun invited me to a party on board his new boat.
"What will the dress code be?" I asked.
Captain Pun said he'd email me the details. Later that day I received the following image in my inbox:
The accompanying message said only: "Solve the nonogram, then come dressed accordingly!"
Can you solve the three-colour nonogram to help me work out what I should wear to the party?
This puzzle can be solved without guessing. Note that cells filled with different colours do not necessarily need to have a gap between them. Numbers marked in bold are black, numbers in (circles) are (red), and those in normal weight are grey.

the puzzle is even more clever than I'd realised. The heart isn't just an arbitrary symbol: it represents one of the SUITS in card games. So both the words "lounge" and "suit" are clued (no pun intended) in the image!
