Dressing him for formal event

[Peasie]

He will be my date for a gala event I attend each year. The dress code says "black tie or national dress" (it is an International event). Black tie is the order of the day and most men there dress in black suits like a tux. My date owns one suit: a classic navy blue suit. I think this will be fine for the event. Personally I would not like him to look too stuffy in a rented tux - it's just not him. And I am not a fan of bow ties...IMHO only a very few men can carry it off well.

So how does my date dress up his suit for the evening? Solid or patterned tie? What about the shirt?



what yuh tink?

I think the striped tie is too work-ish

I think a navy silk tie with the navy suit might look evening-ish
