White tie is the most formal attire for the most formal occasions, and is worn at civic events such as banquets, balls and some ambassadorial dinners and even sometimes to the opera. A full outfit consists of a black tailcoat worn with matching double braided trousers, semi stiff, studded front white Marcella bow tie and waistcoat, and black patent leather evening shoes. A silver-topped cane, black top hat and white gloves are optional extras.
