Attire
For men, this means a tuxedo is an appropriate choice, but a dark suit and tie are also acceptable. Women can opt for a floor-length gown or a chic midi dress. The key is to maintain a high level of formality, with accessories and fabrics reflecting the upscale nature of the event. Appropriate attire options for a black-tie-optional dress code include full-length gowns, long formal dresses, dressy jumpsuits and pantsuits, tuxedos and suits.
As with a black-tie dress code, it's generally best to avoid wearing colors that are too bright or light to a black-tie-optional wedding.
