The quickest way to ease your mind is knowing which dress code calls for what attire. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The \u201cBlack Tie\u201d Event<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The upper echelon of dress codes, black tie, requires dressing to the nines. Invitations to weddings, dinners, award shows and something like the opera likely means it\u2019s time to dress to impress.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>Meeting the prerequisites of black tie calls for a <a href=\"https:\/\/tuxedo.menswearhouse.com\/?cm_mmc=MW-_-Ecomm-_-TopNav-_-TuxedoRental\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"tuxedo (opens in a new tab)\">tuxedo<\/a>, no exceptions. You\u2019ll always want to complete or complement the tux with a vest or cummerbund, tuxedo shoes and maybe even a pocket square to add a touch of class. In most cases, it\u2019s not a tux without a bow tie.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The \u201cBlack Tie Optional\u201d Affair<br><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Considered the most anxiety-inducing dress code because of the optional nature. You\u2019re left with one big decision: suit or tux? Lucky for you, there\u2019s no wrong answer. Although there are a few things to remember.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tuxes often require a bow tie, and a vest or cummerbund. As for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.menswearhouse.com\/c\/mens-clothing\/mens-suits\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">suits<\/a>, choices between tie or bow tie and vest or no vest are nothing more than chances to tweak your outfit to match your style. If you do opt to wear a suit, err on the side of a more polished, formal suit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image full-width\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2160\" height=\"1634\" src=\"https:\/\/www.menswearhouse.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/EventDressCodes-BlackTieOptional.jpg\" alt=\"Black Tie Optional Look\" class=\"wp-image-1297\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.menswearhouse.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/EventDressCodes-BlackTieOptional.jpg 2160w, https:\/\/www.menswearhouse.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/EventDressCodes-BlackTieOptional-300x227.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.menswearhouse.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/EventDressCodes-BlackTieOptional-768x581.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.menswearhouse.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/EventDressCodes-BlackTieOptional-1024x775.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.menswearhouse.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/EventDressCodes-BlackTieOptional-1500x1135.jpg 1500w, https:\/\/www.menswearhouse.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/EventDressCodes-BlackTieOptional-425x322.jpg 425w, https:\/\/www.menswearhouse.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/EventDressCodes-BlackTieOptional-650x492.jpg 650w, https:\/\/www.menswearhouse.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/EventDressCodes-BlackTieOptional-1400x1059.jpg 1400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2160px) 100vw, 2160px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The \u201cCocktail Party\u201d<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>There are appropriate outfits for every occasion, and the cocktail dress code happens to have a variety of options. The dinner jacket or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.menswearhouse.com\/c\/mens-clothing\/sport-coats-dinner-jackets\">sport coat<\/a> provides a somewhat relaxed, somewhat formal look. Paired with pants ranging from chinos to jeans or slacks, you can stay sharp as you mingle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The cocktail dress code allows for versatility from head to toe, especially when it comes to shoes. Choose your best pair of sneakers, chukkas, wingtips, monk straps or smoking shoes to feel comfortable with a touch of flair. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.menswearhouse.com\/c\/mens-clothing-accessories\/all-accessories\">Accessories<\/a> can further complement your look by helping your personality shine. Jewelry, belts, socks, pocket squares and glasses let you express yourself before any introductions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image full-width\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2160\" height=\"1511\" src=\"https:\/\/www.menswearhouse.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/EventDressCodes-CocktailParty.jpg\" alt=\"Cocktail Party Look\" class=\"wp-image-1299\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.menswearhouse.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/EventDressCodes-CocktailParty.jpg 2160w, https:\/\/www.menswearhouse.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/EventDressCodes-CocktailParty-300x210.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.menswearhouse.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/EventDressCodes-CocktailParty-768x537.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.menswearhouse.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/EventDressCodes-CocktailParty-1024x716.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.menswearhouse.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/EventDressCodes-CocktailParty-1500x1049.jpg 1500w, https:\/\/www.menswearhouse.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/EventDressCodes-CocktailParty-425x297.jpg 425w, https:\/\/www.menswearhouse.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/EventDressCodes-CocktailParty-650x455.jpg 650w, https:\/\/www.menswearhouse.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/EventDressCodes-CocktailParty-1400x979.jpg 1400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2160px) 100vw, 2160px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>There you have it\u2013a host of tips for three different dress codes.
