What to Wear

This year’s gala draws its inspiration from Key West in its golden age - an era of writers, old‑world charm, and unhurried elegance as the sun sets over the island with its orange hues. Think polished, timeless, and subtle notes of the Keys rather than casual or beachy.

Black tie optional gives guests room to choose the level of formality that suits them best: tuxedos or dinner jackets, classic suits in refined fabrics, evening gowns, or elevated cocktail attire. Warm sunset tones, vintage silhouettes, and understated coastal colors pair beautifully with the theme’s golden‑hour ambiance.

Picture what one might have worn for an elegant evening out in a 1920s island town - sophisticated and unmistakably refined.
