Men also have a variety of options when deciding on their creative black-tie attire.
Texture and color: This attire encourages men to add pops of texture and color to their formal wear. This can include richly colored velvet jackets and burgundy suits.
Vests: Vests are a staple in formal attire. Add a textured or colorful vest to a suit or tuxedo to spruce up a creative black tie outfit.
Accessories: Silk or satin lapels and bright-colored socks are a great idea, as well as vibrant cufflinks and pocket squares! These accessories give a less-traditional feel to the outfit, but remain appropriate when included with a dinner jacket and polished dress shirt.
