As above really, been invited to a wedding where the attire is 'black tie', does that mean...?
Literally a black tie with any a dark suit?
Bowtie with a dark suit?
Tuxedo?
It's a Jewish wedding if that makes any difference, didn't want to ring up the couple and ask just yet...
I've hardly been to any non asian weddings so any pointers for me?
ta!

Dinner jacket (tuxedo). Black bow tie with a white shirt. Edit to add, don't be one of those jokes who wears a coloured/fun bow tie or a white suit. People who do this think they are 'indervijewel' but in actual fact just looks like t  ts.

The correct etiquette is to only wear a white dinner suit (white jacket, black trousers) in locations where the evening temperatures are above 25 degrees

And please stop saying "tuxedo". In the US they are called a Tuxedo as the style was first worn by King George to a dinner at the Tuxedo Club in New York

And please stop saying "tuxedo". And while we're at it - "invite" is a verb. "Invitation" is the noun. When it says "black tie" it means BLACK tie - don't think you can get away with any comedy patterned bow ties, or funny coloured ones either. We'll be watching. We'll also know if you sink to the level of wearing a made-up tie. The PH way is to tie it yourself so you can, as the hours wear on, nonchalantly untie it and allow it to drape raffishly as you select & seduce your next prey
