Dress code
Black tie,
unbothered.
Strict on formality, generous on interpretation. Bring something you can dance in.
Black tie is the one ask we are inflexible about. Read it once, never think about it again.
True black,
not midnight.
A black tuxedo, a black bow tie, black formal shoes. Yes, really, no midnight blue, no charcoal, no business suit.
- Tuxedo · single-breasted, black, satin lapel preferred
- Shirt · white pleated or piqué, French cuff with studs
- Tie · black bow, self-tied if you can
- Shoes · black patent or polished leather
- Pocket square optional · white linen, ivory silk
Long, formal,
anything but white.
Floor-length gown or a tailored jumpsuit. Color is yours to play with. Reserve white for the bride.
- Length · floor or tea-length, no cocktail
- Color · any except white, ivory, or champagne
- Footwear · comfortable enough for last call
- Bring a wrap · the venue runs cool in January
