My invitation says "Black Tie." What does that mean?Updated 5 months ago

If the event says "Black Tie", you are expected to wear a tuxedo. However, you do not specifically have to wear a "black tie" with your formal ensemble. You are at liberty to wear any colored tie that you desire. The same applies to your vest or cummerbund. Most gentleman at a black tie event will be wearing a black tuxedo jacket, black tuxedo pants and a white tuxedo shirt.

Vest sets and cummerbund sets are available in hundreds of colors. You can either keep it classic with a black tuxedo vest set or black cummerbund set. If you want to go with neutral-colored accessories, you may opt for a silver tuxedo vest set or a silver cummerbund set. If you want to add a splash of color or perhaps coordinate with your date's dress, feel free to select from a myriad of fun and interesting colors.
