When it comes to wedding attire, the first thing that most customers will ask is whether they should dress in formal wear. How should we define and classify formal wear in classic menswear?
First and foremost, formal wear in the official menswear language does mean wearing a tailcoat in the old days, and dinner suit used to be classified as semi-formal. However, in modern menswear language, we have included dinner suit (or tuxedo) in the formal wear category.
The most formal dress code for men is White-Tie, followed by Morning Suit, Dinner Suit and then Lounge Suit. Both White-Tie and Morning Suit requires a tailcoat whereas all other form of suits are styled in a short jacket.
As White-Tie and Morning Suit represents the 2 most formal dress code for men, they are relatively uncommon to be seen in modern wedding ceremonies or banquets even in western countries. Whereas Dinner Suit (or Tuxedo) has taken the lead as the most common formal wear to be worn by the groom and guests during a wedding banquet.
Another popular choice for wedding attire in lieu of a dinner suit is a 3-piece suit. Many customers found a rather low usage for a dinner suit apart from their wedding day and therefore prefer a more practical option of wearing a tailored 3-piece suit which can be used for many other occasions other than for wedding. The most popular colour is dark navy and light grey.
Black Tie is not just for Wedding, it is also an attire for formal events that require wearing a Tuxedo.
Many customers will come to Brown’s Tailor to commission dinner suits for special company and social events or ceremonies that call for more than just a business suit. There are many options for a Black Tie outfit, it is far more interesting that just a black suit with a bow tie.

Black-tie is a formal attire which should be worn only when the event requires for such dress code. Like other formal wear, Black-tie has a specific setting and the most common colours are black, midnight, dark blue and occasionally an ivory dinner jacket. It also comes in the form of a velvet dinner jacket (also refer as a smoking jacket) with more colour options such as dark green, burgundy or even bright orange (as featured in Kingsman).
Black-tie attire comes in both classic setting or modern setting (which sometimes may refer to creative Black-tie.) For the classic setting, the dinner suit should be matched with a white dinner shirt and a black bowtie whereas in creative Black-tie setting, there is no specific rules applied.
The most common occasions to wear Black-Tie include wedding banquets, company dinners, social events and special private parties.

If you are invited to a special event which requires you to dress in a more elegant way but not to the extent of formal wear, what would be the option of your attire? This is the time when Lounge Suit will come into the picture. Lounge suit as the term suggests that you should only wear a full suit instead of an odd jacket pairing with a separate pair of trousers, no matter how smart and elegant that you think your outfit is. The colour of a Lounge Suit is always dark colour such as dark navy or dark grey. You should also wear a tie to go with your suit. Patterns is allowed on your suit but the pattern should be subtle and avoid more casual materials such as tweed or cotton. What are the common occasions to wear a lounge suit? Attending weddings, more formal company events and cocktail receptions as well as business conferences and different kinds of ceremonies. Lounge Suit is actually very versatile and every gentleman should have one in their wardrobe.
