Why Choose Dress Hire for Your Next Black Tie Event?

Cost-Effectiveness

For black tie events, the elegance required often comes with a high price tag. Wedding dress rental, as well as dress and tuxedo hire services, offers a financially savvy solution, allowing you to don luxurious, designer attire at a fraction of the purchase price.

Variety

Whether you're attending a traditional gala, an avant-garde themed event, or looking for a black tie wedding guest dress, our dress hire services provide access to the latest fashion trends. 

Sustainability

Making eco-friendly fashion choices is more important than ever. Choosing to hire your black tie attire instead of purchasing new contributes to a more sustainable fashion industry.

How to Accessorize Your Black Tie Outfit

Accessories can make or break your black tie ensemble. The Volte also offers a selection of high-end belts and bags to complement your dress hire. Also think statement jewelry, elegant clutches, and stunning heels. Our style experts can help you curate a look that’s both unique and true to the black tie ethos.

Belts

Our belt collection can be a chic addition to a black tie outfit if your dress allows for it. Opt for a slim, elegant belt that matches the dress or adds a complementary accent. 

Bags

A clutch is the go-to bag choice for women at black tie occassions. Consider materials like satin, silk, or fine leather, and colors that complement your dress. 

Shoes

High heels are traditional for black tie, but choose a pair you can comfortably wear for hours. Consider the gown's length when selecting heel height.

FAQ

What does black tie mean?

Black tie denotes a formal dress code for evening events. Men wear a black tuxedo, white shirt, black bow tie, cummerbund or waistcoat, and patent shoes. Women opt for evening gowns, cocktail dresses, or simply a black gown emphasizing elegance and sophistication for formal occasions. If the event calls for a black tie optional, you can be more flexible and choose an attire that’s both elegant and formal.

What do I wear to a black tie wedding? 

Wondering what to wear to a black tie wedding? For men, these events call for a well-fitted black tuxedo, white dress shirt, black bow tie, and optional cufflinks and pocket square for a personal touch. Women, on the other hand, should opt for maxi dresses in dark or rich colors, or formal dresses, complemented with elegant jewelry, a clutch, evening shoes, and formal hairstyles.
