Pick the occasion and get the rules plus a complete kit, built from the best-scoring pieces we have reviewed.
The most codified dress code there is: a dinner suit, a white shirt, a bow tie and shoes that shine. The fun is in the details, from satin facings to the studs and links on your cuffs.
A dark two-piece, a pale shirt and a tie with a quiet pattern still say more in a boardroom than anything else. Fit matters more than price: shoulders first, then sleeve and trouser length.
Look like you made an effort without upstaging the groom. A lighter or mid-tone suit, an optional waistcoat for a three-piece feel, and a pocket square that picks up a colour from your tie.
Cocktail sits between business and black tie. Keep the suit slim and dark, add texture with your shirt or tie, and let one accessory carry the personality of the outfit.
The goal is to be remembered for what you said, not what you wore. A solid suit, a freshly pressed shirt, a simple tie and clean cap-toes keep the attention where it belongs.
