Black tie attire calls for a black tuxedo with satin lapels, a white tuxedo shirt, a black bow tie, satin-accented black trousers, and patent leather dress shoes. Cufflinks and a pocket square round out the look for a formal wedding, gala, or award ceremony.

Black tie attire features a tuxedo, bow tie, and dress shoes for formal events like weddings, galas, and dinner parties. White tie is the most formal dress code and calls for a black tailcoat, white piqué vest, white bow tie, and white dress shirt. White tie is reserved for state dinners, academic dress occasions, and the most traditional ceremonies, and it is the most formal dress code.

Men’s cocktail attire sits between business casual and formal. A dark suit in navy, charcoal, or black paired with a white or blue shirt and a standard tie hits the mark every time. Cocktail dress codes also leave room for brighter colors and patterns, if preferred—consider an olive green suit or a light blue one. Dress shoes finish the look. Cocktail attire works for a cocktail party, semi-formal wedding, or evening fundraiser.

Formal attire, like black-tie optional, calls for a tuxedo or a dark suit with a white dress shirt and conservative accessories. Semi-formal attire offers more flexibility: a dark suit with a tie is perfect. Try a navy suit or charcoal suit with a button-up shirt and tie for semi-formal dress code requirements at weddings and evening events. Semi-formal wear leans dressier than business casual but stops short of formal or full black tie.

Smart casual mixes classic, tailored pieces with relaxed staples. A suit jacket over a button-down shirt with chinos, or dress pants with a sweater and oxfords or clean sneakers; both these outfits are perfectly smart-casual. This attire works for dinner parties, daytime weddings, and office settings with a casual dress code.

Formal wedding attire usually calls for a dark suit or tuxedo, depending on the time of day and dress code on the invitation. Evening formal weddings often request black tie, while daytime formal weddings work with a black suit or charcoal suit paired with a white dress shirt and a tie. Check our wedding attire collection for more guest-ready options.

A navy suit and charcoal suit are the two most versatile colors for a men’s suit. Both pair with a wide range of dress shirts and ties, work for formal occasions, semi-formal events, and business meetings, and never look out of place. They’re neutrals that are easy to accessorize, match with a range of other colors, and change up for different settings. Add a black suit to your lineup for funerals, formal weddings, and black tie-adjacent events.

Buying makes more financial sense for most men. Our suits cost about the same as a rental but stay in your closet for every future formal event, business meeting, and special occasion. Owning a suit also gives you the opportunity to get the exact right fit instead of settling for whatever the rental shop has in stock.

A white dress shirt, a tie or bow tie, dress shoes, and a belt cover the basics. From there, cufflinks, a pocket square, and a vest add personal style for formal occasions. For black tie, swap the standard tie for a black bow tie and add patent leather dress shoes for traditional black tie attire.
