Navigating the Black Tie Dress Code

Black tie is a dress code that is applied to many formal events, such as weddings, birthday parties, galas and award ceremonies (yes, the Oscars is a black tie event).

While you don't have to dress in black, there are several styling rules to follow when attending a black tie event.

What is the dress code for a black tie event?

When a black tie dress code is set, the attendees are expected to be dressed formally. Men are expected to wear a dinner suit or tuxedo with a crisp white formal shirt and a black silk bow tie.

What does a black tie dress code mean for ladies?

Classy and chic is the goal with black tie dress code dresses. If you love statement-making, long-flowing gowns, now's the time to flaunt one! Our go-to is a striking sequin gown in jewel tones.

Does a black tie dress code mean long dresses only?

While floor-sweeping length has traditionally been preferred, slightly shorter midi dresses are also acceptable, provided they are still formal. In other words, leave the sundresses at home.

However, if in doubt, go for a full-length formal black tie dress to be safe. It's hard to be overdressed for a black tie event, but it's easy to be underdressed!

Does black tie restrict me to dresses only?

You're not confined to dresses if they're not your thing.

A pantsuit or two piece skirt and top set can also be great options. We love something sharp and tailored for a contemporary take on black tie styling.
