What Does Black Tie Mean?

 

Black tie is one of the most formal dress codes, calling for a full-length evening gown or sophisticated formal dress. Think gala dinners, awards nights, charity events and elegant evening weddings.

When the invitation says black tie, luxurious fabrics, timeless silhouettes and refined detailing create a look that's effortlessly polished from arrival to the last dance.
