Many weddings today have a dress code or some hint on what to wear, and these can be ‘semi-formal’, ‘black tie’, ‘white tie’ and some other points. If you are invited to a black tie wedding and are puzzling what to wear, don’t worry, we’ve prepared all the tips and lots of beautiful ideas to choose from.
What Is A Black Tie Dress Code?
This is one of the most formal dress codes, which means that you are going to dress up, this type of dress code requires you to wear classic and sophisticated clothing. For women, this is an evening gown or a floor-length dress. You do not want to wear anything short, revealing, or bright and bold colors. Currently rules are changing and some people actually break them to stand out but the common idea today is that the men, if not in tuxedos, should wear dinner jackets and really nice shoes, and the women, if not in floor-length gowns, should wear a cocktail dress that’s not too revealing in a rich fabric and rich tone. If you know the hosts of the wedding, you may always understand whether they expect you to wear very strictly elegant attire or you can break some rules to express yourself.
What Can A Woman Wear To A Black Tie Wedding?
As stated above, women are expected to wear a formal floor-length gown that does not reveal the ankles at the hem of the dress, but if the wedding seems a bit less formal, a sophisticated cocktail dress may also be acceptable. If you know that the marrying couple will be happy with your wearing brights and standing out from traditions, do that! For example, choose a bright and printed dress or a deep neckline. Women may also wear beautiful pantsuits or even tuxedos – what can be more sexy than a tux worn by a girl?

Optionally, men can also wear a cummerbund or a waistcoat.
