WHAT
TO
WEAR
Dress to impress with your best wild or mild attire. Black Tie is not necessary.
Attire will vary from cocktail attire, animal print or even theme inspired.
This year’s theme is an island paradise so don’t be surprised if you see
gentlemen in Tommy Bahamas shirts and women in flip flops.
If you’re looking for inspiration, below are photos from Black Tie on the Wild Side in years past.
