The invite is here, and says black tie. For men, this means reaching for a tuxedo and bow tie. If the code allows for more creative license, a tuxedo with a polo-neck sweater offers a modern twist, especially if you slip on a striking piece like a velvet dinner jacket. Not just an icon of menswear, the tuxedo is a go-to for women that is sure to make a statement. A perfectly cut gown or little black dress are more traditional but no less impactful, and why not opt for a style with a scattering of sequins? It's festive season after all. With eveningwear, pay close attention to the accessories: elegant footwear, bow ties for him and sleek clutch bags for her will never go amiss.
