If you haven’t noticed, wedding season is back with a vengeance. Last year, gatherings were considered potential superspreader events, spurring lovebirds to put their celebratory nuptials on the backburner and reschedule for a later date. (Love can wait when Grandma’s life is on the line.) But thanks to the efficacy of vaccines, that later date is…now. So you’ve found yourself here because you don’t know what to wear to all these weddings.
We hear you. We feel you. All our collective calendars are locked and loaded with more wedding obligations we’d care to partake in. But you’re a gentleman, and truth be told it’s fun to dress up—be it a destination wedding to Hawaii or a black-tie affair in a big city.
With our definitive, stylist-approved guide, we hope to demystify dress codes. Confusion will dissipate, soon to be replaced with confidence on your abilities to suit up for every kind of occasion.

Black tie is about as formal as it gets (other than white tie, which is pretty rare these days), so you’d better dress the part. And that, gentlemen, means a tuxedo. Don’t fret if you don’t own one. Enlisting a suit rental service is a solid game plan when you don’t want to shell out coin for something you’ll wear once, maybe twice a year. (We dig The Black Tux for its stellar inventory and customer service.)
But if you’re in the market for a tux that’s dapper yet timeless, stick to an all-black peak lapel that works for literally any ultra-formal event. Weddings, fundraisers, the Met Gala—you name it. Variations on color and tailoring might work for celebrities strutting down the red carpet, but do you really want to be that guy at your buddy’s wedding? Read More...
