What to wear to a Gala dinner? (men)

Zulu · 2005-08-26 14:41:30

So I'm going to a Gala dinner - but no one has bothered to tell me what the dress code is. The girls are "putting on their finest", but what am I doing? Black tie? Formal? Shirt? Can anyone shead any light on what generally is the etiquette at such events?

If the girls are putting on the long evening gowns, you will have to get the tux out!!

I'd go for a well-cut suit. Formal should suffice, rather than black tie.
