The wedding edit

When you are invited to a wedding as a guest, it is important to know the dress code beforehand so that you are dressed appropriately. There are many differences in clothing and accessories when it comes to casual chic, black tie or summer chic. Below, we explain the different dress codes with examples of how best to wear them.

#1 BLACK TIE WEDDING

Black tie is a dress code that requires men to wear a dinner jacket with matching trousers, a tuxedo white shirt, black formal shoes, and a bow tie. Optionally, men can also wear a cummerbund or a waistcoat.


#2 CASUAL CHIC WEDDING

It is a semi-informal style, which carefully combines elegant items, such as sportcord trousers, shirts and knitwear, with comfortable knitted jackets or unconstructed cotton jackets.


#3 SUMMER CHIQUE WEDDING

Even if you've been invited to a wedding on the beach, it's unlikely you'll be expected to wear a tuxedo. Skip black and choose a neutral colours. Summer fabrics, like linen and light cotton are appropriate for this dress code.
