Black Tie Optional (Don’t let the optional part confuse you. This is a formal dress code… but don’t feel pressured to go full tux & princess ball gown if that’s not your style.)

Formal, or “black-tie optional,” is a step down from black-tie but still fancy. Men can wear a dark suit with a tie instead of a tuxedo. Ladies should wear either a floor-length evening gown, or a formal (longer hem) elegant cocktail dress.
