What does black tie actually mean?
In the broadest terms, a black tie wedding will require the guest to wear a tuxedo or evening dress. Over the years the lines of evening dress have been blurred with some opting for a fabulous jumpsuit or spectacular suit option- dresses should always be floor-length, short or mid-length just won’t cut it.
For the guys, black tie means a tuxedo with a proper dinner jacket, tuxedo trousers, the right accessories and shoes. Always go for a tux in dark shades of black, navy, grey or jewels shades of emerald or burgundy.
