Some moments call for a more elevated, refined outfit. Black tie dresses are made for occasions when dressing up is part of the experience. A black tie wedding guest dress lets you embrace the celebration's formality while reflecting your aesthetic. Award dinner and gala dresses are often black-tie to match the formality of the occasion. We bring femininity and romance to black tie event dresses designed for the moments you'll remember long after the event ends.

Black Tie vs. Black Tie Optional
Black tie and black tie optional both mean formal dress, but black tie is the more formal of the two. A floor-length gown is the traditional choice for a black tie event. We offer black tie dresses in silk, satin, and chiffon, with soft movement and romantic details. Black tie optional gives you more freedom. Our edit of long black tie gowns works beautifully, but you can also choose a formal midi dress or jumpsuit that suits the event.

Explore by Style
There's more than one way to dress for a black tie night. Choose a maxi, floor-length black tie gown for a romantic look, or reach for an elevated midi dress when you want something shorter. Flowing silks, satins, and scarf details add movement, while feminine silhouettes give you plenty of ways to accessorize. We design black tie gowns in a variety of colors, prints, and details to reflect your personal style. A jumpsuit gives you another way to dress for the occasion with confidence.

FAQ

+ - What dresses are considered black tie?

A floor-length evening gown is the traditional choice for a black tie event. Silk, satin, and flowy chiffon all feel at home for the occasion, along with details that make the dress feel a little more special. Black tie dresses can be romantic, modern, or expressive, giving you room to follow the dress code without sacrificing comfort or personal taste.

+ - What is the dress code for a black tie event?

A black tie dress code calls for formal evening attire. A floor-length gown is the classic go-to for women and a tuxedo for men. Silk, satin, and chiffon gowns will not look out of place at weddings, galas, and awards dinners. Look for thoughtful details, such as soft draping, scarf accents, or a flattering silhouette, to strike the right note for the occasion.

+ - What does black tie dress attire mean?

Black-tie attire is a formal dress code for evening events such as weddings, galas, and award ceremonies. Women traditionally wear a floor-length gown. The dress code dictates how formal the dress should be and how long it should be. Still, choose the color, print, and silhouette that fit the event.

+ - Does a black tie dress have to be floor-length?

Not necessarily. A floor-length gown is the traditional choice for a black tie dress code, but the event can offer helpful cues. A formal midi dress or jumpsuit can work for some black tie occasions, though a longer gown remains the safest bet when the dress code is strictly black tie. Save shorter lengths for events marked black tie optional, where you'll have more room to play with the silhouette.

+ - What should I wear to a black tie optional wedding?

A floor-length gown or a formal midi dress is a great choice for a black tie optional wedding. This dress code gives you more room than traditional black tie, but the look should still feel formal and put-together. Play with color, print, or romantic details to make the dress your own, and let fabrics, such as satin or chiffon, add movement to the overall look.
