From the world wide web: "As the name suggests, “black tie optional” adds a more casual spin to the formal black tie dress code. It was invented because hosts wanted to make it acceptable for men who don’t own a tux or have the means of acquiring one, to wear a solid black/dark suit instead. Thus, a wide range of outfits have become acceptable. If you want to dress in a full tux, cummerbund, bow tie, and patent leather shoes, then go for it. Do you prefer to rock your slim fit black suit with a trendy black skinny tie instead? Then surely this would be a perfectly acceptable alternative. Below are 10 “black tie optional” looks that our stylist has put together. Choose the one that best suits your personality!"
We recommend you dress comfortably. There isn't really a dress code for this. Come in whatever you want to wear from athletic apparel to a sundress to a bathing suit depending on the weather!
