- Black Tie and Evening Wear
From dinner suits to black tie shirts and silk bow ties, we have everything you need for a black-tie event.
What is the black tie dress code for men?
A black tie dress code signifies a formal evening event, typically held after 6 PM. For men, this entails wearing a classic tuxedo, comprising a black or midnight blue dinner jacket with satin lapels, matching trousers with a satin stripe, a white dinner shirt, a black bow tie and polished black formal shoes. Optional accessories include a cummerbund or waistcoat and cufflinks.
Can I wear a regular suit to a black tie event?
While a dark, well-tailored suit might be acceptable for events labeled as "black tie optional," traditional black tie events require a dinner suit to meet the formal dress code. A standard suit lacks the satin details and formal structure of a tuxedo, making it less suitable for such occasions.
What accessories should I consider for a black tie event?
Accessories play a crucial role in refining your black tie ensemble. You’ll need a bow tie, cufflinks and white pocket square. You may also want to consider a cummerbund. These accessories not only enhance your outfit but also adhere to the formal standards of black tie events.
