Dark suit for the wedding
If "dark suit" is noted on the wedding invitation, it is binding and none of the male guests appears on the marriage in the black tie i.e. tuxedo - of course just as little in jeans and sneakers. The guest should wear a dark gray or dark blue suit with black shoes, a white shirt, if possible with double cuffs and Cufflinks, as well as a chic tie and optionally awaistcoat. This is well accomplished by a a off-white or white pocket square.
If the wedding takes place during the day, a light gray suit can be worn with light brown shoes, but only if there is the opportunity to change before the evening - because there you have to actually appear in the dark suit.
Likewise, the female guests of a wedding party are held, not to dress in white (evening), because on this day "white" is reserved only for the bride and the wedding dress.
The right shirt for the wedding

Accessories for the perfect look

Pocket squares and Ties made of silk - Whether plain or patterned, these accessories are always serving their individuality and complete your outfit perfectly.
Shoes – Classic shoe for classic look - with our punched Oxford you are always rightly dressed.
Black Tie or Evening Wear
to the wedding
In the evening dress
If "Black Tie" or "Evening Wear" is on the invitation of the wedding, so aTuxedohas to be worn at the wedding. For evening you wear a black silk bow-tie. That is why the term black tie is used. In addition one carries one White shirt, which is reinforced in the chest area with pique fabric, and black shoes without hole patterns. Here we recommend as shoe model the Plain Oxford. The tuxedo appears conventionally with a black matching dress trousers which sets a special accent through the galon stripe.
Morning Suit During The Day
If the wedding takes place during the day, you choose the morning suit. Those is worn exclusively during the day but never in the evening. The official Morning Suit is still of the school uniform at the famous Eton College just close to Windsor Castle. Even at the well-known horse race Ascot, this outfit is an indispensable duty.
Quite different than the white tie, the morning dress is not subject to a strict dress code in its form. The substances can be chosen completely arbitrarily, from flannel to the covert twill, no limits are set. The classic cut is made of dark gray flannel, it is supplemented with a light grey waistcoat. In Britain, waistcoats are often weared in pink or other colorful patterns.
The Morning Suit is worn with a whiteShirt and combined with the standardTies (Two or three-colored check), the British also combine the Morning suit with a checked or striped shirt combined with a colorful tie. Students in Eton even wear a stanShirt with stand-up collar and a white piqué bow-tie. Usually, however, no fly is worn on the morning suit. The suit trousers are Striped trousers or a medium grey Flannel trousers. As a shoe, the Punched Oxfordis recommended. A suitable Pocket square is essential.
White Tie or
Great evening wear
for the wedding
If "White Tie" is written on the wedding invitation, so it has to be worn the Great Evening Dress. Here the dress code is like a uniform and is probably known from the pompous, glamorous Viennese opera ball.
The morning dress is always worn with a white fly and a waistcoat of cotton pique. In addition, it is combined with a shirt with stand-up collar, which has a piqué-reinforced chest and simple cuffs, which are worn with cufflinks.
As a suitable footwear, the Plain Oxford proves itself here.
