The words black tie are synonymous with floor-length hemlines in the fashion dictionary. Think ankle-skimming gowns and ball gowns. In addition to the length of the dress, fabrics are of the utmost importance too. Tie in the look with sumptuous flowy silks, luxurious chiffon, or dreamy layers of tulle. Add a few embellishments to your look! Wear matching or complementing jewelry, an appropriate evening clutch, and chic heels. </p><div><br/></div><p>For men, the silk-labelled jacket maketh the black tie outfit. Complete the look with a dress shirt, a dark fitted pair of trousers that will match your jacket, black patent shoes, and a bow tie. Men can also look into adding cummerbunds, a waistcoat, a watch, and cufflinks to show that you have done your research.</p><div><br/></div><p>Now that you’ve done your reading, it’s time to take a look at inspirations for your black tie looks.
