MONDAY 7 SEPT · THE WEDDING

Dress code · Gentlemen

Formal suit and tie, dark and elegant — here's the complete guide, including the two looks that are already spoken for.

Wedding dress code for gentlemen — dark suit and tie: recommended looks and what to avoid
Guests in dark formal suits with classic ties at the lakeside venue

The look

A formal dark suit — navy, charcoal, black or deep green — with a classic tie. Elegant and sharp; if in doubt, go darker.

Crossed out: black tuxedo with bow tie and dark suit with burgundy tie — both reserved

Reserved looks

The black tuxedo with bow tie belongs to the groom alone — no tuxedos, no bow ties, please. And the dark suit with a burgundy tie is the groomsmen's matching detail (both looks pictured above). Any other classic tie is perfect.

Light, breathable dark suit fabrics — navy, charcoal and deep tones

Fabrics

Light, breathable fabrics are your friend — the ceremony and dinner are outdoors on a warm September evening. A half-lined or unlined jacket will thank you.

Classic leather shoes — oxfords, derbies, monk straps and elegant loafers

Shoes

Classic leather shoes — oxfords, derbies or elegant loafers. Part of the terrace sits on grass, but you'll be perfectly fine.

Guests dancing outdoors at sunset — dressed to last the whole night

Comfort notes

Ceremony, cocktails and dinner outdoors; then the party moves inside with air conditioning until 3 AM. Dress to last the whole night — you'll want to.
