The Finer Points of Dress Code for Guests
A guest wore a white t-shirt with dirty jeans and boots to my black tie wedding. Safe to say I was a little unhappy. But, while most people know that kind of outfit isn’t the best attire for any type of wedding, it’s sometimes hard to know exactly what to wear. We’ve got some great rules to follow for each type of wedding to ensure you don’t underdress, overdress, or have other guests staring at you in judgement.
White Tie
A white tie wedding is as formal as you can get. It’s like prom on steroids. Men should rent a tuxedo and wear formal dress black shoes. It might even be appropriate to wear white gloves?look like a Disney Prince basically.
Ladies should wear a formal ball gown, one that’s long without cut-outs or a high slit, and hair should be done as if you were attending the Oscars. It’s all about feeling like a glam 1920s movie star. Black Tie
A black tie wedding is not as formal as white tie. Men should still wear a tuxedo or a very nice suit, and a tie is a must along with patent leather black shoes. Feel free to ditch the white gloves.
Women should wear a nice cocktail dress or an evening gown. Lovely jewelry is a must with this type of wedding to bring the entire ensemble together.
Formal
Don’t let the word “formal” stress you out. Formal simply means you don’t need to dress for prom, but you also don’t need to dress like you’re going to a picnic at the park. Women can pick out a cock...
