White dress shirts are probably the best or most neutral then that you can wear at a dinner with the dinner jacket, however faded colors work too, like a light blue or pink. The cuffs are usually single to double barrel cuffs, as french cuffs may get in your food. The dinner jacket black tie style is not a suit coat or anything like that. It is simply just a single-breasted jacket. It is a very common style and is accepted in many different occasions. There should never be slits going up the back of the jacket, or pleats. Remember that the black tie is defined by its great understated elegance, for this reason it would be advised that you stay away from 'flair' but it will still be accepted, given that that you don't go over the top. More often then not, this jacket should be black, to match the white dress shirt, but navy blue is accepted just as a light to pale blue dress shirt is as well. Just consider what is best appropriate for the dinner occasion before getting on any color. Stay away from the white jackets, they are accepted but you need to follow a whole new set of rules for them, best to stick with the BLACK tie. So let's keep i black for the names sake.
