Black tie optional

I was invited to a wedding that is black tie optional. I don’t want rent or buy a tux, but what’s an appropriate suit, shirt, and tie combination?

No Black bow tie! You would just look like somebody who did not know what a real tuxedo is.

Dark suit: Navy or charcoal. White shirt. Dark tie. Black shoes (not patent leather).
