<p>So the dress code says <strong>black tie</strong>—exciting! This is the one dress code that requires you to follow the rules, so to say, but that doesn’t mean you can’t have fun with it. The words black tie are synonymous with floor-length hemlines in the fashion dictionary. Think ankle-skimming gowns and ball gowns. In addition to the length of the dress, fabrics are of the utmost importance too. Tie in the look with sumptuous flowy silks, luxurious chiffon, or dreamy layers of tulle. Add a few embellishments to your look! Wear matching or complementing jewelry, an appropriate evening clutch, and chic heels. </p><div><br/></div><p>For men, the silk-labelled jacket maketh the black tie outfit. Complete the look with a dress shirt, a dark fitted pair of trousers that will match your jacket, black patent shoes, and a bow tie. Men can also look into adding cummerbunds, a waistcoat, a watch, and cufflinks to show that you have done your research.</p><div><br/></div><p>Now that you’ve done your reading, it’s time to take a look at inspirations for your black tie looks. With only just a few days before the <strong>2023 ABS-CBN Ball</strong>, take a look at the gallery down below to better understand the black tie dress code.</p><div><br/></div><div class="article-content" itemProp="articleBody"><div class="media-content"><div class="slider-for"><div><img loading="lazy" src="https://assets-metrostyle.abs-cbn.com/prod/metrostyle/attachments/095ae6b1-d310-4217-80ad-7134c209f8a3_b-abs-cbn-ball-dress-code-predictions.png" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii"/></div><div><img loading="lazy" src="https://assets-metrostyle.abs-cbn.com/prod/metrostyle/attachments/c07ce728-aac4-48dc-a0ec-79134b32df0f_vestidos drapeados.jpeg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii"/></div><div><img loading="lazy" src="https://assets-metrostyle.abs-cbn.com/prod/metrostyle/attachments/ba98802f-f24c-452f-8f12-9895ebc10a5b_screen shot 2023-09-22 at 4.35.43 pm.png" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii"/></div><div><img loading="lazy" src="https://assets-metrostyle.abs-cbn.com/prod/metrostyle/attachments/e77fe840-a040-4c36-b11d-910e4298f0e7_zac posen pre-fall 2014.jpeg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii"/></div><div><img loading="lazy" src="https://assets-metrostyle.abs-cbn.com/prod/metrostyle/attachments/6215e540-52e7-4dd7-bea3-56631d9b50e4_screen shot 2023-09-22 at 4.23.49 pm.png" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii"/></div><div><img loading="lazy" src="https://assets-metrostyle.abs-cbn.com/prod/metrostyle/attachments/ba10d536-d558-4b79-8b60-d82905b9cc49_christian siriano resort 2024 collection.jpeg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii"/></div><div><img loading="lazy" src="https://assets-metrostyle.abs-cbn.com/prod/metrostyle/attachments/53faa7d1-5da7-402b-a840-c00e02d40e81_screen shot 2023-09-22 at 4.23.43 pm.png" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii"/></div><div><img loading="lazy" src="https://assets-metrostyle.abs-cbn.com/prod/metrostyle/attachments/30dabf43-6efa-4c59-9d44-764fdaa1d19c_monique lhuillier official site _ shop online.jpeg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii"/></div><div><img loading="lazy" src="https://assets-metrostyle.abs-cbn.com/prod/metrostyle/attachments/276eadec-75bb-4769-b26f-ed7309961eb9_screen shot 2023-09-22 at 4.23.55 pm.png" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii"/></div><div><img loading="lazy" src="https://assets-metrostyle.abs-cbn.com/prod/metrostyle/attachments/f03530dc-13e0-4bed-acf0-effcd8299b9c_black tie dress code_ how to nail it.jpeg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii"/></div><div><img loading="lazy" src="https://assets-metrostyle.abs-cbn.com/prod/metrostyle/attachments/e6776875-0046-4a58-9847-37c0bfcd046b_maßkonfektion für damen und herren _ dolzer maßkonfektion.jpeg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii"/></div><div><img loading="lazy" src="https://assets-metrostyle.abs-cbn.com/prod/metrostyle/attachments/c99032b5-3b39-463e-b7e7-4be07355005f_crane brothers_ how to master the black tie dress code.jpeg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii"/></div><div><img loading="lazy" src="https://assets-metrostyle.abs-cbn.com/prod/metrostyle/attachments/9ea9dd2c-bd3a-4f2d-86fe-1e90ea343c94_generation _v__ louis vuitton fall winter 2022 collection.jpeg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii"/></div><div><img loading="lazy" src="https://assets-metrostyle.abs-cbn.com/prod/metrostyle/attachments/09b7b1bc-5c57-4ae0-9131-21ecab75b269_tailoring.jpeg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii"/></div></div><div class="media-content slider-desc"><div class="item-desc"><div></div></div><div class="item-desc"><p>For the ladies:</p></div><div class="item-desc"><p>For the ladies:</p></div><div class="item-desc"><p>For the ladies:</p></div><div class="item-desc"><p>For the ladies:</p></div><div class="item-desc"><p>For the ladies:</p></div><div class="item-desc"><p>For the ladies:</p></div><div class="item-desc"><p>For the ladies:</p></div><div class="item-desc"><p>For the ladies:</p></div><div class="item-desc"><p>For the gents:</p></div><div class="item-desc"><p>For the gents:</p></div><div class="item-desc"><p>For the gents:</p></div><div class="item-desc"><p>For the gents:</p></div><div class="item-desc"><p>For the gents:</p></div></div></div></div><div><em><br/></em></div><div><em>Catch the ABS-CBN Ball 2023 red carpet show on September 30, by tuning in to the Metro Channel, and online via the <a href="https://www.youtube.com/@metrodotstyle" target="_blank">Metro.Style YouTube channel</a> and <a href="https://www.youtube.com/abscbnentertainment" target="_blank">ABS-CBN Entertainment YouTube channel</a>.
