How did the black-bet dress code appear?
The progenitor of this dress code was a more strict and formal white tie. This style of clothing for secular exits was once the only possible. The changes occurred in the middle of the 19th century, when one of the London companies for tailoring expensive men's clothing offered the Prince of Wales an alternative to the classic tuxedo, shortening it. Prince was delighted with the novelty, so this tuxedo model very quickly gained popularity among English gentlemen.
After a while this fashion migrated across the ocean to the Americans. Over time, there was officially announced the dress code Black Tie, and shortened tuxedo became one of the mandatory details of the wardrobe.
Since then, a lot of time has passed, fashion, especially women, has undergone considerable changes. Every year, designers and couturiers offer new and new evening dresses in the framework of black tie. On them you can find luxurious embroidery, a sea of ​​rhinestones, placer beads, rich decoration and other decoration. But if you do not like all this tinsel, choose more unobtrusive models with gentle large flounces or even trouser suit.
