October 8, 20214 yr A dark lounge suit with white shirt and bow-tie would be acceptable attire for a black tie dinner. Black shoes are a must.
October 8, 20214 yr My Tux no longer fits , so Ill be wearing a Black suit with a dress shirt and bow tie.
October 8, 20214 yr Just remember Bow ties are unacceptable unless you’re a toddler at a wedding, peewee Herman, Mr Wolf or farakhan

The idea is that a <insert low quality menial job> can be sat at the same table as <insert high powered top earner> and neither knows what each other does as everyone is dressed the same.

October 9, 20214 yr Last time I went to one or those, we were the only ones who actually followed the dress code and wore DJs and dickie bows. Everybody else was just in suits and ties. Stood out like a sore thumb. We looked like a really shit male stripping group
October 9, 20214 yr I've got a couple for award dos when you can't get in without Black tie but it doesn't have to be a bow tie, dress shoes and cumberbund anymore. Those are usually reserved for the older gentlemen. Tux, white shirt and slim black tie. Now, I've never been invited to a white tie do. Those look proper posh.

October 9, 20214 yr Is it the do, or the outfit that you don't fancy? Not for me to be honest, but if the do was for something I was really wanting to experience, then the suit bit wouldn't be an issue. Not that such an occasion has ever arisen!

Can you get away with wearing a suit, or even better shirt and trousers?
