The invite says 'cocktail attire' and the venue is a field. Tell this tool the dress code, the venue and the season, and it builds three complete guest outfits, with shoes that work on the ground and a layer for when the sun goes down.
Dress codes, decoded
Black tie means floor-length gowns or tuxedos. Cocktail means knee to midi dresses, dressy jumpsuits or a suit without the tie being optional. Dressy casual is a step above what you'd wear to dinner. Each result starts by saying what the code means for your wedding.
Venue and season change everything
Heels sink into lawns, satin shows rain, and barns get cold after dark. The outfits account for the ground, the weather and the time of day.
Colors to skip
White and ivory are for the couple. If you know the bridal party's color, avoid that too. Everything else is fair game.
Questions
Can I wear black to a wedding?
At most modern evening and formal weddings, yes. For a daytime or very traditional wedding, a color is the safer choice.
What should a man wear to a cocktail wedding?
A suit in a mid or dark color, a tie optional depending on the venue, and leather shoes. Pick 'A suit' for full outfits.
Does it cover beach and fall weddings?
Yes. Put the venue and month in the box and the outfits follow the weather and ground.
