black tie

black tie
AdjectiveNoun

This term functions as a specific social signifier for a high level of formality. While it literally refers to the accessory worn by men, it is used pragmatically to describe the entire expected ensemble. In modern usage, it is most frequently encountered as a compound adjective modifying events or occasions, signaling a strict adherence to traditional evening wear.

As a noun, the term is treated as an uncountable mass noun referring to the dress code itself. You would not refer to "three black ties" when discussing the requirements of multiple events; instead, you would say the dress code for each is "black tie."
