What Is a Black-Tie Affair?
Black tie events are the second-most formal affairs. White-tie events hold the top distinction, but it is rare to be invited to those unless one regularly circulates in the company of billionaires or royalty.The most common black-tie affairs are private parties, or affairs organized by charitable organizations as an opportunity to raise funds for a worthwhile cause.
