If an invitation to a formal event specifies white tie (such as a ball or very swanky evening reception) men are expected to wear: Tail coats are normally black, and should be worn with black trousers.

Women are expected to wear a long dress, which may be off the shoulder. Elbow length gloves are appropriate. Break out the diamonds.

White tie should not be worn in the day.
