Dress Code
Black tie optional is a dress code that requires guests to dress up, but it is slightly less formal than black tie. For women, a black tie optional wedding typically requires a full length dress. For men, a tuxedo is welcomed, but not required – a nice suit works too.
Generally speaking, “black tie optional” has a pretty ambiguous meaning. As a rule of thumb, black tie optional dress code is the expectation that guests dress formally but not necessarily in overly fancy attire. It’s a fancy event, to be sure, but you won’t have to come in a tuxedo or extravagant dress if you don’t want to.
