A 'Black Tie Optional' or 'Black Tie Invited' gives you the option of wearing a tuxedo or formal dress, but it should clue you into the formality of the event, meaning a dark suit and tie would be your other option. Women wear cocktail, long dresses or dressy evening separates.
Let it be known that we are well aware of the fact that 'Black Tie Invited' normally is a dresscode for events starting after 18.00 pm, however, we decided to break that rule of etiquette this once.
