How to Choose Your Black Tie Dress

How strict is "black tie"? Traditionally it means a full-length, formal gown. A well-cut midi or an embellished cocktail dress will usually pass muster if the invite's a touch more relaxed, but when in doubt, go longer rather than shorter.

You don't have to wear black. Navy, burgundy and emerald are all fair game, alongside the odd seasonal print or metallic if you fancy standing out a little.

Prefer more coverage? Our long-sleeve and Modest styles work just as well for a formal dress code as anything sleeveless, and our Plus Size edit carries the same event-ready styles cut for your fit.

Whatever's on the invite, gala, wedding, work do or New Year's Eve, start here, then browse Wedding Guest Dresses and Evening Dresses & Ball Gowns for a few more ways to dress the part.

Frequently Asked Questions

Usually yes if the dress code is "black tie optional" or the setting is relaxed. For a strict black tie or gala, choose full length.

No, deep jewel tones like navy, burgundy and emerald are all appropriate, and a metallic or subtle print is fine if you want to stand out.

Yes. Alongside our core black tie range, browse our Plus Size Dresses and Petite styles for the same occasion-ready silhouettes in extended and petite fits.

Both call for formal evening wear, but a black tie wedding often allows slightly more colour and personality, while a gala or awards dinner tends to favour classic, more monochrome styling.
