Getting ready for Black Tie means maximum excitement

Back to overview

November 2023, the wettest autumn ever recorded in the Netherlands. Thick sweaters and comfortable layers are a must with this weather. During winter, an extra layer will be added. However, it is not just about comfortable clothing in the coldest months of the year.

The festive season gives us the opportunity to use our chic and elegant clothing. Perhaps a gala or another event with the dress code Black Tie is on the agenda. The perfect moment to go all out and dress according to the situation. How do you ensure getting ready for Black Tie and therefore maximum excitement?

Just as the transition between seasons can be challenging, the dress code black tie is different to everyday clothing. It is one of the most elegant and festive dress codes. Although, this dress code offers a bit more interpretative freedom than the even more formal White Tie, some preparation is still a luxury. Both in making clothing choices and selecting accessories and makeup.

The dress code Black Tie does not fully live up to its name. On the contrary to what it suggests, men do not wear a tie but a tuxedo with a black bow tie. Also, black attire is not the only suitable option. For slightly less formal occasions, men can choose a bow tie in a different colour, perhaps coordinating it with their partner’s outfit.

For women, dark colours have an elegant appeal, light pastel colours, light grey or nude colours are also allowed. Over the years, the dress code has become a bit more modern. Women are no longer limited to a long evening gown but can also opt for an elegant knee-length cocktail dress. Light makeup, subtle accessories and jewellery are ideal for this dress code.

The preparations determine your Black Tie excitement. The more excitement, the better! To get in the mood optimally, we invite you to discover our Black Tie package. A nod to Black Friday, allowing you to benefit from many advantages gathered around black tie. Enjoy the upgrade of your room, toast with a glass of exquisite champagne, complete your outfit with a handmade bag, or choose one of the beautiful bow ties. After your visit, the event is no longer a big transition. You step from one luxurious experience into another. We wish you a lot of fun.
