Question

What is 'Black Tie Attire?'

Answer

Women Typically, women wear their best dresses to a black tie wedding. Break out you're best long gown. However, if you prefer a shorter dress, that’s OK. Cocktail dresses are acceptable as long as they’re a bit more overstated and glamorous than the typical semi-formal dress. Think embellishments and sparkly accents. Shorter dresses should also at least hit below the knee. Women can also opt for a flashy suit. Try something well-tailored in a dark tone. Avoid any hues on the white spectrum—off-white, cream, ivory, eggshell, vanilla, etc. If you’re stumped on what dress to wear, feel free to send us any pictures! Men Black tie for men usually indicates a tuxedo. If you can have a normal black suit you can get away with wearing a bow tie if you don’t have a tuxedo jacket. https://www.brides.com/story/black-tie-wedding-guest-dress-code-long-gowns
