Did You Know? - Black tie is a dress code for formal evening events, and is worn to many types of social functions. For a man, the major component is a jacket, known as a dinner jacket (Britain and the Commonwealth) or tuxedo (mainly U.S.), which is usually black but is also seen in midnight blue. A woman's corresponding evening dress ranges from a conservative cocktail dress to the long evening gown, determined by current fashion, local custom, and the occasion's time.
Black tie dates from 1860, when Henry Poole & Co. (Savile Row's founders) created a short smoking jacket for the Prince of Wales (later Edward VII of the United Kingdom) to wear to informal dinner parties as an alternative to white tie, the standard formal dress. At that time, lounge suits were starting to be worn in the country, and the new dress code was an evening lounge suit intended for use in a relaxed atmosphere out of town.
Linda was dressed to kill! Love that hat!
Did You Know? - Bonnets are a variety of headgear for both sexes, which have in common only the absence of a significant brim. Bonnet derives from the same word in French, where it originally indicated a type of material. In the twenty-first century, only a few kinds of headgear are still referred to as bonnets, most commonly those worn by babies and Scottish soldiers.
Neal looked so good Donna had to shield her eyes!
Did You Know? - Sunglasses or sun glasses are a form of protective eyewear designed primarily to prevent bright sunlight and high-energy visible light from damaging or discomforting the eyes. They can sometimes also function as a visual aid, as variously termed spectacles or glasses exist which feature lenses that are colored, polarized or darkened. In the early 20th century they were also known as sun cheaters (cheaters being an American slang term for glasses).
