Washington is a conservative town. What does the gold tie look like?</p> <p>Then again, could he rent a dinner jacket at the last minute? He might be more comfortable in formal wear. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mens-attire-for-black-tie-event#post-135145 Wed, 17 Mar 2010 00:22:04 +0000 Mellllls 135145@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My fiance is attending the Radio &amp; Television Correspondent's Association dinner tomorrow night. </p> <p><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radio_and_Television_Correspondents&#039;_Association" rel="nofollow">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/R.....ssociation</a></p> <p><a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/06/19/AR2009061903780.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.washingtonpost.com/.....03780.html</a></p> <p>Obama, who attended last year, will not be in attendance but Biden will. This is a work event for him. His office told him that he need not wear a tux even though this is a black tie event but should wear a dark suit with a white shirt. His suit is black with a very subtle stripe (the stripe is hardly noticeable in pictures).</p> <p>My questions is what should he do about a tie. He thinks he should wear his gold tie as it "best matches his suit" (his words). I'm wondering if he should wear a black tie so it looks more like a tux. II'd love to know what you all think???</p> <p>I apologize for the last minuteness of this question. When he said he didn't need to wear a tux, I assumed the event was not black tie and he could wear any shirt/tie he chose. He just mentioned 20 minutes ago that the event is in fact black tie. </p>
