Is the definition of "formal" different in your part France? I have been to formal dinners in parts of France, where all the men wore black (bow) ties. Or, have times changed? I am asking just in case we get invited to dinner in Normandy again, I would hate to upset my hosts!

Hello Rollo, great formal shot, hoped the diner went well.

Looking very good, Rollo.

I was once invited to a formal ball here in the states. Boy did I feel silly having shown up in black tie.

Ditto. I was invited to a "formal wedding and reception". I showed up in black tie and was the only one outside of the wedding party dressed in such a way.
