Yes, the invitation arrives and it’s time to plan your outfit. But suddenly, you realise that guest fashion is a nightmare. I mean, can you wear black? Or white? How short is too short? Is cleavage acceptable? And that’s just the men… kidding. In fact, the male dress code for weddings is as much a minefield as it is for women. Firstly, you need to know just how formal the wedding is, most invitations will tell you if it's black tie, or white tie or whether it’s lounge suits. Black tie is generally formal or semi-formal wear, white tie is the most formal look of all and will probably only be required if you’ve been invited to a royal wedding. If this is required, then you MUST adhere to the dress code. Same with women. If a wedding is formal, you must think elegance, not fashion. However, most weddings just need you to be your best self. DO ramp up your personal style, DON’T think you need to look a certain way. I mean, if you look ridiculous in a hat or fascinator, don’t think you have to wear one (unless it’s rules). Men, yes. You can wear trainers with a suit if it’s informal attire and definitely be bold with colour. It looks great in the photos.
