If you’ve ever wondered what the words White Tie, Creative Black Tie, Cocktail mean, you’ve come to the right place. Get ready to learn all about the different types and dress<\/a> code rules. Let\u2019s go!<\/p>\n

WHITE TIE<\/p>\n

Of all the existing dress codes, this one is the most elegant and strict, it must be followed unconditionally. So, if you are lucky enough to receive an invitation to a holiday with this form of clothing, it is better not to violate the following rules:<\/p>\n

A minimalist floor-length dress. You can open your hands, sometimes a slit is also allowed, but avoid ruffles, rhinestones and lace.<\/p>\n

Only expensive jewelry. Gold, diamonds and jewelry will be more appropriate than ever. But forget about your favorite bijouterie.<\/p>\n

Solemn accessories. A shaped clutch, elbow-length gloves just fit into White Tie.<\/p>\n

BLACK TIE<\/p>\n

This option is considered more relaxed than “white”, however, here girls are also advised to adhere to several important rules:<\/p>\n

The length is still maxi, however, slits, lace, and beading d\u00e9cor are now acceptable.<\/p>\n

An important role in the “black” dress code is played by color: it should be dim. Choose a dress in blue, chocolate, black or deep wine shades. Sometimes red is allowed at such parties, but the official version of Black Tie forbids this color as well.<\/p>\n

You can skip diamonds and jewelry for such a party, limiting yourself to chains and rings made of gold or silver. But still avoid bijouterie.<\/p>\n

CREATIVE BLACK TIE<\/p>\n

It\u2019s an option for real fashion icons! With such a dress code, you need to choose an outfit so that it is bright and memorable, but it does not go beyond the classic formal Black Tie style at the same time. It is important to stick to a dark color scheme for this option, but something extraordinary will do here – an all-lace dress or a tuxedo dress, or even a classic pantsuit! In addition, you can choose bright accessories. The main thing is to look elegant, not vulgar.<\/p>\n
