How else will you show off the nice clip on your tie?
(:mischievous-face:, /s, et al.)
Oh funny, I had heard of Black Tie but never White Tie! Thanks!
I think that beside receving a Nobel prize or dining with the queen one doesn't have many occasions to wear the white tie
Black Tie ("Tuxedo" to use the Americanism) is semi-formal. A dinner jacket and a black bow tie *never* with a winged collar.
Whilst White Tie events are very formal, at a Black Tie event, one may still drink, puke and shag, provided it is done with style.
