To attend any type of event, it is important to know the rules of etiquette , as it will help you a little more to know where to go when choosing your clothing. I’ll tell you about it below!
If you have a protocol of etiquette, it is not noticed nor is it missed. But if it is missing, everyone notices it and it is fatal.
As a general rule, women’s wardrobe is marked by men’s and this should be indicated in the invitation to the event, although this is not always the case. So, if you have any concerns, go ahead and ask the event’s organizers, but I hope that with my assistance, they will be clarified for you.
The dress code is one that is worn at galas or formal events like a wedding. Male men may choose from a variety of options in this scenario:
Tailcoat: it is the maximum dress code for men , characterized by the fact that the jacket , always black, reaches the waist in front and has two separate skirts at the back, which reach the height of the knees. Being a completely gala outfit, it is only dressed under the explicit demand of the act.
At a wedding, if the groom wears a morning coat, the best man and the witnesses are obliged to wear it. If, on the other hand, the groom does not wear a jacket, none of the guests can do so.
Tuxedo: Distinguished by the lapels of his jacket , usually in silk or shiny satin, the sash and the bow tie . Despite the fact that for a gala event it is better to dress in a tailcoat or a morning suit, the rigidity of these acts has been softening. That is why the tuxedo is a very good option, especially in afternoon and evening events. Do not forget to pair it with Men’s Bow Ties.
For women, they have the following options:
