White should also not be used, since most often it is the color of the bride. And if you chose this shade, then it will be in bad taste towards the hero of the occasion.
Plain outfits

The first thing you most likely feel when receiving a wedding invitation is anxiety. Moreover, everyone is worried - both those who really have a situation of “nothing to wear”, and those whose shelves are bursting with all kinds of outfits. In cases with weddings, the signal “I need to be myself” is triggered. beautiful girl this evening,” although, it would seem, day X is not yours at all. This is some kind of primitive female instinct - to look chic among other ladies who are certainly preparing for the event no less than you. And that is why at almost every wedding there is a real parade of “brides” of beauties in brocade, Lurex, with curls and false eyelashes.
Well, in order to look appropriate at a wedding, but not go overboard fine line adequacy, we’ll tell you about the basic rules that it’s best to use before moving on to creating a festive look. And it's stress-free!
Rule No. 1: a dress is the safest outfit
If you've been dreaming up a set of trousers, a smart top and a jacket for an hour in the hope of standing out from the crowd, then we advise you to stop with this idea. Better than a dress, noticeable and beautiful, it’s hard to come up with anything else as an alternative. All you need to match it with is lipstick and shoes. All. As they say, simple and chic.

Rule #2: Avoid Short Length
And not just for the sake of respect for the bride. It’s a well-known fact that an asymmetrical hemline or length below the knee is conservative and at the same time sexy, especially when you’re on the move (you can’t live without dancing, right?). So, no matter how long and slender your legs are, let's look noble on this day.
H&M dress (RUB 9,999)
Rule #3: Don't wear white
And also cream and even beige, unless, of course, you want to get the title of black sheep at the holiday. It’s better to use heavy artillery: sequins, colored dense and large lace (it looks more expensive) or decorated textures. Animal and floral prints are best worn for other occasions. Not because it’s impossible, but because finding a decent “leopard” can be a problem. If this doesn't scare you, then go for it!

Rule No. 4: black is fine
The modern world surprises not only with wonderful changes and gadgets. There is something else that will pleasantly surprise you. Black dresses are now acceptable at weddings. Once upon a time, this color was a sign of despondency and sadness, but today it is a sign of elegant classics and nothing more. So wear it with pride!
Mango dress (RUB 7,999)
Rule No. 5: Don’t take everything you own with you.
“Shoppers” or bags on a chain are absolutely inappropriate at events of this kind. You might think you have a change of clothes or a huge cosmetic bag there. Go the minimalist route, giving preference to a miniature handbag that will purely symbolically decorate the outfit. Be light - this is the literal motto for this case.
Clutch Zara (RUB 2,599)
Rule No. 6: yes to heels
But only those on which it is easy for you to stand and move. I really want to take that new dressed-up couple out for a walk, but is there any point if after two hours you hate yourself for this mistake and sit down on a chair (a real failure!)? Every self-respecting woman has indestructible shoes that have “danced” through dozens of DJ sets. Wear them even if the heels are worn out.
Uterque shoes (RUB 10,990)
If you're really unsure about your outfit, ask the friend who invited you to the wedding for advice. Firstly, this is a very nice gesture - she will definitely be pleased. Secondly, it will really guide you whether you should go to the reception in a silk jumpsuit or whether it is better to stick with the tried-and-true bridesmaid dress.
Jumpsuit H&M (RUB 12,999)
Rule No. 8: dress of the right cut
Experience from past similar events will probably tell you whether you will eat and drink a lot or fly away after a couple of hours. If you are one of those who have fun until the last guest and live by the principle of “walking is just walking,” look for a dress in the spirit of a baby doll. Or something free that can accommodate snacks, salads, hot dishes and, of course, sparkling wine. Well, that is, keep in mind that, for example, a “bandage” in this case can play a cruel joke on you.
Self-Portrait dress (RUB 21,700)
Rule #9: Land confidently
Everything about your dress should be safe. If it's low-cut, make sure you don't check it every half hour. This control looks at least strange. If the dress is narrow and has a slit, be sure that you can not only walk comfortably in it, but also dance. If the dress is still short, then think before you put it on, or don’t try to keep pulling it down. This is usually done by not very confident schoolgirls who do not yet understand all these unspoken rules.
Dress Likely (RUB 12,464)
Rule No. 10: There should not be too much decoration.
Of course, it all depends on personal preference. But heavily adorned wrists with bracelets can prevent you from eating your cake, or worse, snag someone in the crowd on silk or lace. Favorite clips may get lost, but rings or small earrings are perhaps the safest option.

A wedding in the life of the average man is a rare occasion to dress in a formal, elegant suit. It doesn’t matter whether you are a guest at this “celebration of life” or the main hero of the occasion, you need to look impeccable! The first suit pulled out of the closet, and even more so the only suit in the wardrobe, should not be worn, even if you are an “ordinary guest”. So, let's talk about how a man should dress for a wedding.
Choosing a suit for a wedding
Modern men who take care of their appearance, they try to think through their image to the smallest detail. But you should move on to the nuances only after the basic concept of the image has been determined. And here the choice doesn't just come down to a smart tuxedo or a classic black suit (although if you have a streak of practicality, you might like this option). Stylish look can be created from things unusual for such events. But even a democratic wedding retains the atmosphere of a unique holiday and important event, don’t forget about it!
Advice: how a man dresses for a wedding primarily depends on the theme of the holiday. Before choosing an outfit, the guest should ask the bride and groom if they plan to introduce a special dress code for the guests. The groom's suit should be in harmony with the image of the bride and the idea of the wedding as a whole.
Suit for the groom
If a man is given complete freedom in choosing an outfit, he should definitely consider a suit in a classic style for weddings - a tuxedo that meets the dress code Black Tie. A black jacket with trousers made of the same fabric is complemented by a vest, a wide satin belt, echoing the collar and satin lapels, and a black bow tie.
If you are planning a magnificent wedding, the venue of which is a restaurant with an interior in the Baroque or Empire style, a man should try on a business card suit - this is a type of half-tail coat fastened with one button. Such a suit looks very solemn, especially in the “full set”, with a vest and Ascot tie, which, by the way, can be matched to the bright elements of the bride’s outfit.
You can wear jeans on any other day, don’t rush to give up the classics. Don't want to look too formal? Then you can wear not black, but a dark blue, bluish-green tuxedo, or give preference to a classic two-piece suit. The “golden mean” between a tuxedo and a classic suit would be a three-piece suit – a vest gives a man an elegant look.
In two-piece and three-piece suits, the jacket model can be either single- or double-breasted, but it’s still worth starting the fitting with single-breasted ones. They suit men with almost any body type. The color of the suit and the texture of its fabric depend on the season: in the summer, choose light shades of fabric (beige, sand, light gray), and in the autumn-winter season, choose dark colors (brown, black, blue).
Advice: if the wedding is planned in the summer, pay attention to light-colored suits fresh flowers, for example, whitened azure, lemon cream, soft orange, light violet.
Men with a creative approach to choosing clothes can try on checkered suits, both small and large. Suits with thin stripes, 1-2 threads thick, will look stylish this season. But at the same time, you need to remember about the consistency of the images of the bride and groom.
Advice: best fabric for a suit it is wool and cashmere. To become the owner of a truly high-quality suit, look for the Virgin Wool marking on the label. If the celebration takes place in the summer, choose a suit made of wool mixed with cotton, linen or silk.
Young people with a creative approach to planning a celebration will agree that you can even wear shorts to a wedding in the summer! If the judgmental views of the older generation do not frighten you, why not? It's your day! This look does not require a jacket: try on plain chinos that are no higher than the knee length in combination with a shirt and a bright bow tie with an elastic band.
Guest suit
Now let's talk about how to dress for a wedding for a guy invited as a guest. If you don't want to look like random person“On a holiday, you should under no circumstances wear casual clothes (shirt, jeans). An exception may be weddings that are held outdoors or involve active guests. But in this case, the bride and groom must warn all guests about the dress code.
Classic remains the best suit option for special occasions. The main thing is that when choosing an outfit, try not to “pull the blanket over yourself” so that the bride’s relatives who come from afar do not confuse you with the groom.
For a guy invited to a wedding as an honorary witness, it is especially important to coordinate his image with the groom. If you have the honor of being a groomsman, and the groom will be wearing a tuxedo at the wedding, you won’t be able to get away from a classic suit! By the way, sometimes young people ask witnesses to wear suits in one color scheme. So be sure to check with the bride and groom if they have any wishes regarding your look.
If you are invited as an “ordinary guest,” you can move away from formal models. You can wear a jacket with a softened or even natural shoulder line, and classic pants Replace “with arrows” with dark jeans or rolled-up chinos. The principles of color are simple: the color of the top should be slightly darker than the bottom. Corduroy, flannel, tweed and cashmere blazers go best with jeans.
Idea of the image: a combination of a jacket and jeans in Smart casual style will look stylish, and most importantly, appropriate at a wedding. For the look, choose a one-button blazer in so-called “colored black” shades: navy, dark green, burgundy or brown. Bottom: dark blue or dark blue jeans gray. Under a blazer, you can wear a monochrome shirt and tie a thin tie, or opt for an interesting bow tie.
If it's summer, light jeans light shades or fine fabric chinos can be paired with a linen blazer or pastel cotton jacket. The combination of colors should be as follows: the blazer is the darkest element of the image, jeans or trousers are the lightest, and the shirt balances the composition.
Selecting a shirt
An incorrectly chosen shirt can ruin all the efforts put into choosing a suit. Make no mistake!
Groom shirt
Having decided to dress for a wedding in a tuxedo or half-tails, you have no choice - the shirt must be exclusively white! Best model under a tuxedo - a cotton shirt with long sleeve, without any stripes, pockets, with a rigid collar.
Note: a white shirt is a universal option. It will be appropriate if you decide to wear both a classic black and a stylish pale blue suit.
When choosing a shirt, be guided by main rule: The shirt should be lighter than the jacket. The buttons on the shirt should blend in with the fabric and in no case contrast with it. When you decide to wear a striped suit for a wedding, choose a striped or plain shirt too. Likewise, a plaid suit will be paired with a plaid or monochrome shirt. Moreover, the repetition of the pattern (checks, stripes) on a shirt should be more frequent than on suiting fabric.
Guest shirt
A man invited to a wedding can wear a looser shirt model. Even when wearing a classic black suit, you don’t have to limit yourself to classic white. Choose a shirt in pastel colors with a fitted silhouette. If you need to hide minor figure imperfections, opt for a classic cut shirt.
When you choose a casual wedding outfit, pair it with a shirt with a Button-down collar. This model looks more informal and will look better with a blazer.
Tip: choose a shirt that is different in color from the groom’s shirt. Remember that at a wedding you are a guest, and the groom should be the center of attention.
Choosing accessories and shoes
When advising on how to dress stylishly for a wedding, stylists recommend paying Special attention accessories and shoes. Formal tie models go well with tuxedos and tailcoats: Shar Pei, Plastron and Ascot. If it is a bow tie, then only a tie, not a bow with an elastic band. If you decide to wear a classic fitted suit with tapered cropped trousers for your wedding, complement it with a narrow tie.
Note: the color of the tie should be darker than the shade of the shirt.
A stylish solution would be to ditch the tie and bow tie in favor of a pocket square folded in your jacket pocket. Don’t forget about such details as cufflinks, and for the groom, a boutonniere will be a must-have accessory.
Well, the final stage in creating an image for a wedding will be. If you decide to wear a dark classic suit, the choice here is obvious - only black shoes. For a less formal outfit, you can choose brown or gray suede shoes. A man who decides to wear a casual blazer and chinos can wear loafers or.
