Black Tie Formal Wear Guidelines:

Ladies: A night for you to look your most gorgeous! Wear a floor-length, formal gown that is black-tie appropriate, and don't forget your best jewels and fanciest shoes!

Gentlemen: There's nothing more sophisticated than a man in classic black tie attire. Wear a dinner jacket (also known as a tuxedo jacket) and matching trousers, bow tie, and cummerbund or waist-coat, and dont forget your black patent-leather or calfskin pumps or laced oxfords.
