Black tie is a dress code for formal evening events. Its primary component is the dinner jacket (or "D.J.") as it is known in the United Kingdom, the northeastern United States, Canada, and Australia. The jacket and matching trousers are typically called a tuxedo in the United States and Canada, and a smoking on the European continent.
Black tie is today worn at a wide variety of functions, and the corresponding female attire can range from a short cocktail dress to a long gown, depending on fashion, local custom and the hour at which the function takes place.
