What to Wear to a Wedding

It's wedding season again! 
There are 3 most common types of weddings: City, Country and Destination

Here are the general rules to help guide you when picking your outfit


City Wedding: Formal, Black Tie Optional


tuxedo isn't required, but the wedding is formal enough for one to be appropriate. Go with a dark suit if it's a nighttime wedding, regardless.

Him: If not a tuxedo, a dark suit and tie.
Her: A long dress, a really dressy suit, or something cocktail-length (but still formal). Glamorous makeup and dramatic jewelry and hair are appropriate.





Country: Semi-formal or 'Sunday Best'

A semiformal wedding invitation can mean different things, depending on the time of the wedding. Lean toward a more formal look for an evening wedding, but slip into light colors and fabrics if it's a daytime wedding.

Him: A suit and tie, dark or light depending on the season and time of day.
Her: A cocktail dress, or skirt and top.



Destination: Beach Formal

This suggests an elegant beach wedding -- so dress to impress, but also dress for the elements (sun, sand, and water). Anything you would wear to a nice restaurant on a summer day is appropriate.

Him: Summer suit and sandals. Linen is great!
Her: A more formal summer sundress with flat or wedge sandals.
