Wedding Dress Codes For Men - What To Wear To A Wedding - Black Tie, Optional, Beach, Spring/Summer
About this video
Weston and her business partner decode confusing spring and summer wedding dress codes, explaining what black tie, black tie optional, cocktail/semi-formal, and casual variations like ‘beach chic’ actually mean. She provides specific outfit recommendations for each dress code level, from tuxedos with bow ties to elevated casual looks with chinos and sport coats.
Key takeaways
- Weston argues black tie requires a full tuxedo with a bow tie (not a regular tie) and white silk pocket square, and recommends exploring navy or charcoal tuxedos beyond standard black
- For black tie optional, Weston recommends either the complete tuxedo or a dark suit in midnight navy or charcoal with a white shirt and solid-colored tie, avoiding black suits that feel funeral-like
- Weston defines casual dress codes like ‘beach chic’ and ‘garden chic’ as elevated casual—polo shirts or chambray paired with chinos or linen trousers, optionally layered with a lightweight sport coat and pocket square
