In a word, no! If you choose not to wear formal attire to a "black tie optional event" the expectation is that you will wear a dark suit with a necktie if a guy or a cocktail dress if a woman.
Yes and no. You wear a black tie to formal events.
Yes, Because it's OPTIONAL. And Burgundy is close to black with it being lighter.
what does look nice with pink shirt and black jeans
Either a formal gown or a cocktail dress.
No. No you can not.
Yes. It's actually very stylish. But only if you wear the right jeans and shoes. Black or dark jeans work best for the outfit.
It is either black tie or optional, but generally it is not both. On the safe side the woman can wear a pair of nice slacks with a fancy top and some dainty jewelry; a dress (any color, but white) such as a cocktail dress (in black or other colors) with a little jewelry and some nice shoes.
La soirée means the evening; 'black tie optional' are English words.
No, you may not wear a dark blue shirt and black slacks to a black-tie optional event. Even though the black tie is "optional", it still indicates that guests should wear very formal clothing. It is likely that many of the guests will be wearing tuxedos, but a dark colored suit preferably black) with a crisp white shirt and a darker tie are still appropriate. At the bare minimum, you might be able to blend in without the jacket, but it is best to wear the full suit. Ultra formal events, which are rare in America, are "white tie formal". This includes things like the Inaugural ball for the President. Just below this is "black tie formal", which includes things like the Oscars. "Black tie optional" is just below this distinction, so these events are still considered very formal. Hence, the need for the dark suit if one cannot wear the tuxedo.

Maybe a Nice Shirt and Dark Jeans! Or maybe Shirt and Suit Trousers but just no Suit Jacket! I Suppose that's why its optional. From Rosiiekaii P.S call other people that are attending and ask them what they are wearing and copy them so u know you will not be the only dressed like that.
no you have to wear green or orange
White bow ties are worn with morning coats of varying colors. Evening wear requires a black coat and black tie. A man's evening wear is meant to keep him from clashing with his partner's gown, so black and white are preferred.
