Mens wedding clothes

Black tie

When the invite says black tie you know that the affair is going to be an upmarket formal affair so you are going to have to wear a dinner suit (or as the Americans say – a tuxedo).

A dinner suit is not a particularly complicated ensemble but is very common at weddings. The main components are the dinner jacket (single breasted with ribbed silk facings on a shawl collar), trousers (with silk braids covering the outer seams), dress shirt (white with Marcella frontage and double cuffs), bow tie (black, which you can buy pre-tied) and smart polished black shoes (such as brogues).

You can hire a full dinner suit for a wedding (normally excludes the shirt) but if you know a couple of black tie events are coming up (and you don’t pile on the pounds) we would recommend purchasing a tuxedo. There are numerous retailers who sell dinner suits for weddings online including Clermont Direct, Moss Bros, Marks and Spencer and MyTuxedo.
