I believe that the original post was about the definition of "black tie" -- regardless of whether one ever attends such events or what one thinks of them.

This site (www.blacktieguide.com) has been cited previously on X Marks and, IMHO, provides an excellent overview of what "black tie" actually entails -- in both "classic" and "contemporary" interpretations.
I must have missed this site from earlier threads. Thank you for bringing it up again Tim.
