Is it okay to wear black to a formal event?

The answer

Yes, black is a classic choice for many formal events and for black tie, where any color is acceptable. For weddings, check the couple's wishes and the style of the day, and choose a design that feels festive, with refined fabric, detail or accessories. In most modern weddings black works if it suits the formality, but the invitation is your best guide. A bright accessory or jewelry can lift the look.
