    Attire : Black and White
    I received an invitation for a party that will be held at a hotel. The invitation says : "Attire: Black and White." What does this means ? Does it mean that it is formal attire (I,e. suit for men and long gown for women) ? Or should it be taken literally, that is, the atture should be black or white or combination?. tks/D.

    As far as I know that means formal attire.

    Why not call the person that sent the invite just to make sure.

    Black and white is a bit vague. :)

    I think it's formal wear-- I doubt it's ballgown gear though.

    Like Alty said "Why not call the person that sent the invite just to make sure."

    Anyway here are some of my ideas:

    Women:




    MEN:




    At least this is what I think...

    I would probably go with black and white even though it means formal tie affair.
    I like the top dress in black that Mudster posted

    The best would be to go for a semi formal outfit which would be a cocktail dress for the ladies or a suit (not tux) for a man. White house black market would be a perfect store to find some ideas or a dress!
