Wedding Style Guide: Dress Male Code

Male Code

The label

The first thing to take into account of the male codes is that the clothing will depend: the nature of the event, on the time of the same, the season of the year and even, sometimes, of the invitation itself to the act where we specify the label.

For those who do not know, the label is the ceremonial of the styles, uses and customs that are followed in solemn public events. It is the way in which people have to be treated in acts of private life unlike trust or familiarity uses.

Male dress

Within the male codes we find different tag garments: Fraud, jacket and Prom tuxedos. The most common at a wedding, unless your role is the boyfriend or a relative to the bride and groom, is to dress on a half label, or what is the same, in a suit with a tie or bow tie. The average label is between the formal costumes and the label suit.

Let’s look at all options:

 – Frac

The fraction is the maximum label suit, always reserved for the night and the most formal occasions. It is only admitted in closed events.

It consists of: black jacket with simple or crossed button, cut in front and long behind with rear skirts at peak; Always white shirt with a hard or starchy chest, closing your fists with twins; adjusted or crossed vest, usually white (although for certain ceremonies it can also be black) and black and smooth pants accompanied by black patent leather shoes with fine sole.

– Chaqué

It is the most ceremonious day garment. Used in the morning and early afternoon. The most recurring colors are black and gray, and is composed of three pieces: a jacket or levita, a vest and pants.

The jacket or levita only has a button that is at the navel height. The black color is characteristic. In spite of this, the Marengo Gray is gaining more and more points in ceremony acts and lately it has become a highly requested hue, especially at afternoon weddings.

The vest can be straight or crossed. The protocol dictates that it must be of the same hue as the jacket, however, currently and more and more, we can find countless accurate shades; passing from beige (for the youngest), different shades on the blue scale, or the gray and black classics always selected for the most official acts.

The shirt is always white, of Italian neck and double fist closed by twins.

With regard to pants, it is common to take it with one or two tweezers, without return in the low and vertical stripes. The most usual color is gray, but you can also opt for black.

Tuxedo

The Tuxedo suits are the most common night label. Its most important parts are the jacket, the pants and the bow tie. It is usually black since it is the ideal outfit for the night and gives a formal appearance. The color touch can be offered in the bow tie. The shoes, as in the previous attire, black.

– Costume

As we have mentioned above, the suit would correspond to the half label. And it would be between a formal and label costumes.

For a day wedding it would be to wear a light color suit. The range of grays or blue is very wide to choose one that you like.

For an afternoon-night ceremony, the suit is convenient to be darker. Black, navy blue, gray, are elegant colors that allow you to give that touch of color to your look with the tie or bow tie.
