Occasionwear FAQs

What to Wear for a Formal Occasion as a Man

Tailoring is a go-to for men’s formalwear, but you don’t have to opt for the classic black and white suit. Choose bright and beautiful colours, patterned or embroidered blazers and waistcoats, or inject life into a plainer suit using a funky shirt. 

You can also mix and max tailored pieces to create a suit that’s unique to you. Choose a waistcoat colour that contrasts your blazer and trousers for a pop of intrigue.

What to Wear for a Formal Occasion as a Woman

Formal occasionwear should balance glamour with etiquette, so opt for something that makes you feel luxurious. Maxi dresses are a perfect pick because they offer coverage and effortless elegance, pairing beautifully with heels.

Dresses aren’t the only option for women, though - try a suited-up style! Our guide to styling women’s three-piece suits can help you to steal the spotlight in sensational tailoring and put the men to shame.

What to Wear to a Wedding

Wedding occasionwear isn’t a one-size-fits-all situation, as weddings can have all types of dress codes, including formal, semi-formal, cocktail and smart-casual. 

For a formal wedding, full suits and floor-length dresses are appropriate. However, most weddings adopt semi-formal and cocktail attire dress codes, in which items like jumpsuits and glamorous midi dresses can be worn, too. 

Our wedding guest outfit inspiration guide can help you choose a perfect style for the next time a loved one ties the knot.
