What black tie means
For men, black tie is a dinner suit (a tuxedo in American English), usually black or midnight blue, with a white dress shirt and a black bow tie, and black shoes. For women it traditionally means an evening gown, though today a ballgown, cocktail dress or evening trousers can all work, and the dress need not be black. Black tie is one step less formal than white tie, and generally worn after 6 p.m. (Wikipedia)
Dressing for a theme
- Gatsby. The novel is set in 1922, so think Roaring Twenties: beads, feathers, headbands and sharp suits. (Wikipedia)
- Disco and Studio 54. Sequins, bold colours and shoes you can dance in. The Studio 54 nightclub opened in 1977 and was known for its glamorous guest list. (Wikiwand)
The weather
Marbella has mild winters: average highs of about 17.3 °C in December and 16.4 °C in January, with lows of about 10.7 °C and 9.4 °C. Bring a wrap, jacket or coat for the evening, especially if you will be outdoors for the midnight fireworks. (Wikipedia)
