Whenever I've seen "black tie optional" I've understood that's what it kind of signifies

If you want to achieve a semi-casual casual look, go for light black jeans instead of chinos and pull off this outfit for work and semi-formal occasions.

Also, if the wedding is nautical, outdoors, or country-themed, black dresses are not appropriate

Color : Black, Emerald Green

For instance, you can still maintain a high level of formality by wearing a clean, dark suit, a white dress shirt, and a dark tie

Care & Handling: Cleaning: Professional dry cleaning only to maintain the structural integrity of the corset boning and the tiered chiffon layers
