Bow Sandals
Are you confused about all these different types of dress codes? Are you uncertain if it is necessary to spend the money to rent a tuxedo for a function if a regular 2-piece suit might do? What about neckwear? Do you need a bow tie or is a necktie the preferred piece of accessory? Below is a helpful explanation on the 5 most common dress codes for men.
Formal, or "Black Tie" Attire:
If you are invited for a formal event, the chances are the invitation will call for "Black Tie Attire". Black Tie is the most formal of all dress codes and traditionally will require you to wear a bow tie in combination with a classic tuxedo. Not just any bow tie will do, but the solid color black bow tie is the one to choose. The gold standard for "Black Tie Attire": Black tuxedo jacket, matching black tuxedo pants, white dress shirt, black bow tie, black shoes, black cummerbund or vest, and white pocket square.
"Warm Weather" Back Tie Dress Code:
As the name indicates, warm weather black tie means that the event will take place during the day, and/or in warm weather. In addition, it is often times associated with events occurring under open-air. Similar to traditional "Black Tie" attire, "Warm Weather Black Tie" means you need to wear a tux and a bow tie. The preferred bow tie is still black, even though solid color white, or silver bow ties are an acceptable alternative. The black tuxedo jacket is typically switched to a white one. Not only is the white jacket quite elegant, but it will also be much cooler and more comfortable when worn on a hot sunny day.
"Black Tie" Optional:
Black Tie" optional dress code is also often called "semi-formal" dress code. As the name suggests, tuxedo and bow tie is acceptable, but the majority of guests will dress slightly less formal. Most common are dark 2-piece suits with white dress shirt, and elegant solid color tie. The necktie should be on the slightly more formal side. As a general rule: The darker the necktie, the more formal it will appear.
"Business" Attire:
Depending on your industry and your company's culture, business attire can vary widely. Traditional business attire consists of 2-piece suit, dress shirt, and necktie. The most popular dress shirt colors are white, blue, gray, and even light pink. If you are invited in for a job interview dress on the slightly more consertvative side. A dark charcoal gray suit, white dress shirt, and diagonal striped tie in not too flashy colors is a great choice. The most common necktie colors are dark blue and burgundy red. Striped neckties are also common for business attire as they have a classy look that is timeless and not too flashy.
"Business Casual" Dress Code
Don't wear a necktie or a bow tie for a "Business Casual" meeting. The goal here is to dress nice, but not too formal. No full suit, and no neckwear is needed. The basic outfit consists of: Dress shoes, dress pants, and dress shirts. A non-wrinkly tugged-in polo shirted with nicely pressed Khaki pants are slightly less formal, but well acceptable for "Business Casual" attire. Stay away from tennis shoes, shorts, sandals, and jeans!
