There are different types of suit attire to be worn at weddings. From classic formals to stylish casual everything is part of the wedding dress code as well.

However, easy it may seem, but it is always difficult to dress appropriately according to the occasion.

We have listed a few basics to keep in mind while styling your wedding outfit. 

1 Black Tie Wedding Attire

If you get a wedding invitation with the dress code “black suit”, then you jump into a tuxedo, unquestionably! A black tux jacket, trousers, and white Oxford shirt are the staple of a Black Tie.

Keep it traditional to be classic. However, if you don’t want to be just an old hat, accessories with a lapel pin and pocket square.

A cocktail dress code is synonymous with a semi-formal dress code. So you get a chance to be chic and classy all together, unlike the formal or black-tie suit where you should stick to the conventional styles only.

But never forget, it is still a wedding and you are expected to look elegant. So make sure the semi-formal doesn’t look like a casual suit.

• You are free to add your style, texture, or pattern to your suit.

However, the wedding venue and time can provide some aid. Relaxed it may seem to dress a casual outfit, it isn’t. You still are bounded by some basic rules.
