ALARACT 202/2008 specifies that the 'dress blue ASU' for men includes a 'black bowtie.' It makes no mention of the black four-in-hand necktie in connection with the 'dress blue ASU.' Since, according to paragraph 10 of the same ALARACT and paragraph 27-19a of AR 670-1, the bow tie is worn only after retreat, this text suggests that the 'dress blue ASU' is not conceived of as a uniform order for the daytime, that the 'dress blue ASU' for males is not an all-hours uniform including an evening variant with bow tie, and that the 'class A ASU' is the highest order of dress for daytime wear
Choose a gown that stays formal through length and fabric rather than heavy embellishment, and look for breathable drape, secure construction, and strategic neckline or shoulder exposure that keeps you comfortable while still reading black tie
