'Black tie' means wearing a dinner
suit - either single or double breasted - or a white Tuxedo,
but not necessarily with black bow tie. Be as individual as you
like with colourful bow tie, matching waistcoat or cummerbund
and pocket handkerchief.
Cummerbunds are worn with pleats
opening upwards. Shoes should be black and well polished. No
white socks please! Dress shirts with plain or wing collars must
be worn.
