What do I wear for an event when the invitation requests “Black Tie” attire?
You are invited to wear a tuxedo or white dinner jacket depending upon the formality of the group or occasion. If the occasion is a “Black Tie” Mardi Gras event, you are probably welcome to make the tuxedo colorful and unusual. On the other hand, if the dinner will be a “Black Tie” retirement dinner for an executive in your company, then you probably would be more appropriate in a classic black tuxedo with matching black accessories. If you are in doubt, stay with the classic black look. You can’t loose because everyone looks great in a tuxedo.
