What should I wear to a wedding with no dress code?
If no dress code is indicated on the wedding invitation or by the couple, use context clues to decide what to wear,
- like the formality of the wedding invitation,
- the venue, the time of day, the season,
- and the religion of the ceremony.
When in doubt, a knee-length cocktail dress for a woman and a dark suit for a man will usually suffice.
A small step above semi-formal, cocktail attire is an extremely popular choice.
It's a balance between elegant and comfortable and fancy and pared-back.
Instead of a floor-length dress, women should opt for a tea-length, knee-length, or midi look.
Men are required to wear a suit and tie, regardless of the wedding's setting.
