There is something about getting dressed up for a special event. For a lady, the black dress always works. Last night’s event at The Works, was one of Newark’s premier parties that will be talked about for years.
Some men do not get it! Most were in tuxedos, some in very appropriate business suits. Then you have the guys, especially the under 50 year old group, in attendance wearing no tie and no jacket. Why? Their wives and dates dressed appropriately and probably should have left their male partners with the valet, parking cars. Of course, the only disturbance of the evening was from a fellow not wearing a tie.
A good blog article to review for all of us by Anthony Gregory concerning ties:

Back to the ladies attire: The black dress is one of the better inventions. If it hangs well, structured and has a little zip to it, the dress looks great. Last night offered about every color and style of women dresses you could think of, but the ladies that stood out in the crowd wore black. Just like the men in their black tuxedos.
Of course this does not effect the stately guys like Freddie, Cookie & Herb. They have earned their stripes and don’t have to impress anyone. I hope to someday hold their status, but until then you will find me wearing a tie.
