The Shirt & Shoes While a white shirt & bow tie is certainly acceptable, a dinner jacket ensemble opens the door to more updated pairings, like a black button-up, or black pure wool or silk blend turtleneck instead of shirtand when it comes to shoes, subbing velvet slippers for lace-up makes a memorable sartorial accent

As for shoe styles, we recommend opting for strappy sandals for the most elegant look chunkier shoes in gold tones can sometimes be a little overbearing

The dress features a mix of satin, mesh, beads, embroidery, glitter, and jewels
