| When the invitation
says: 'Black Tie' |
| If the event
you are attending is 'black tie' and the invitation says the same,
you are expected to wear a Dinner Suit (tuxedo). All guests invited
to this function are required and expected to wear formalwear.
However, this term does not mean you have to wear a black tie! |
| When the invitation
says: 'Black Tie Preferred' |
| This means the
host of the party prefers to see all guests in formalwear. You could
wear a dark suit, but Dinner Suits(tuxedos) are preferred. |
| When the invitation
says: 'Black Tie Invited or Optional' |
| In this case,
it is not mandatory to wear a Dinner Suit (tuxedo), however, you
will probably see more tuxedos than dark suits at these affairs.
Black tuxedos and white or ivory dinner jackets with black trousers
are appropriate. |
| When the invitation
says: 'White Tie' |
| This term means
you must wear black tails with black trousers and a white pique'
formal Shirt, bow tie and Vest. This ensemble is known as the 'ultra
formal look' and if your event calls for it, you should not wear
anything else! |
