黑呔

余經理過兩日要出值一個屈記既Conference+Dinner Banquet，尋日忽然問我是否要打條黑呔去？
我(一頭霧水)：你又唔係去喪禮，打乜野黑呔？

原來個invitation列明："Dress Code：Black Tie"

得啖笑，我又要引用偉大既維基百科，好似劉家傑咁解釋呢個"Black Tie"唔係字面既意思。

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 (British) or tuxedo (Canada, the U.S. and Ireland), which is usually black.


In brief, the traditional components are:

A jacket with ribbed silk facings on a shawl collar or on peak lapels, called the dinner jacket
Trousers with silk braids covering the outer seams
A black cummerbund or low-cut waistcoat
A white dress shirt with a marcella (piqué cotton) front and turndown collar
A black ribbed silk bow tie matching the lapel facings
Black dress socks, usually silk or fine wool
Black shoes in patent or highly polished leather, or patent leather court shoes

其實我都解釋左，我地係客，男人著番上班西裝打領帶便算，邊個有咁既閒穿到去ball咁應酬屈記？
