black tie

[thelanx]

hey does black tie mean tux only or can a nice black suit work too?

 

[Heisenberg]

If it's black tie, then yeah it usually means a tux. Black tie optional means a tux or dark suit.

It means you're supposed to wear a black tie and nothing else. 😉

Black tie = tux.

Edit- Don't look at it as a bad thing; women (for the most part) love men in tuxedos. 😀

renting a tux costs liek 50$

A suit is not "black tie."

If "black tie optional," then you can wear a suit. reference

Roughly. I need to just suck it up and buy one; I seem to have a reason to wear one at least once a year. I'll be in one this weekend for a good friend's wedding.
