Avoid wearing white

White is a beautiful colour however regardless of which wedding you’re going to be in, white is a pretty plain colour. You can wear a white skirt or a white shoe, but wearing an entirely white outfit will just make you stand out and not in a good way.

Formals

  • For Guys

A wedding is a semi-casual event, you need to be dressed formally and look sharp. Wearing a suit or a Sherwani would be perfect. However, wearing sneakers at a wedding is not acceptable, wearing shimmery shirts or pants too is a huge let-down. Wear something that compliments the event, your dress code needs to be sharp and clean. Wearing a well-tailored shirt with trousers and a good pair of formal brogues or Clarks would be a suitable choice instead of a suit.
