Bow tie

[Andy008]

can I wear a bow tie with a black jacket and white shirt, except ist just a standard jacket, rather than a dinner jacket?

You would also need a proper dress shirt to go with the suit. You couldn't really get away with wearing a standard white shirt with your dinner suit and bow tie.

You wear what you feel comfortable wearing. We should not get tied up in the protocols these days.
