welcome to the gentleman's gazette! in today'svideo, we're going to talk about cocktail attire for men. if you receive an invitation that asks forcocktail attire, the proper thing to do is simply to adhere to it. but what does it reallymean? most of the time, this dress code is used for wedding invitations so let me goover what you should wear if the dress code
What Is The Wedding Party, is cocktail attire for a wedding. first is you want a dark gey to mid-grey suit.preferably solid, you can also have a light pattern, a glen check or a shark skin butwith solids, you're always right. if you must, navy works as well. two, you should have awhite dress shirt, maybe off-white, you can
also have maybe a white collar shirt witha striped body but it should be somewhat formal. do not wear brown shirts or purple shirtsor turquoise shirts, that just looks awful. next up comes the neckwear, you should definitelywear a tie. maybe a bowtie can get away with it but usually for the wedding, stick withthe tie because you don't want to take attention away from the bride and groom. ideally, whatyou can wear is a colored tie with a small pattern like the one i'm wearing right nowin purple with some paisley or you can wear a solid necktie like the one here, you wantsome texture like a knit tie like this one is good or maybe you can also wear satin ifit's an evening event but i would usually stay away from that and go with somethinga little more textured. if you don't know
how to tie a tie, please check out our serieson how to tie a tie. since this is a more festive event, you wantto go with a pocket square. if you have a white shirt, a white pocket square works.if you have a different colored shirt, use a different kind of pocket square. if youdon't know how to fold a pocket square, check out our video where we show exactly how todo that. for shoes, you should preferably go with blackdress shoes, that means leather sole and neatly polished black cap toe oxford is ideal. ifyou must, you can also get away with burgundy, try not to go with tan shoes or anything likethat. no sneakers, no trainers, black men's dress shoes please. what's really importantis that you wear over the calf socks because
you never want to expose your hairy calvesto the public so make sure you get over the calf socks that ideally match your trousersand then you'll be just fine. if you want to add a dash of color, you could also usesocks that are slightly contrasting, maybe taking up the color of your tie but that'sa little more advanced so it's up to you. make sure you have a good clean hair cut , trimmedat the back. if you have a beard, of course you want to be well groomed and it's all supposeto look neat. never wear a tuxedo when the invitation states cocktail attire becausethat's simply overdressed, it's wrong and it's not an option so if it says "black tieoptional", you can wear a tuxedo but when it says "cocktail attire", stick with a suit.
weddings are a personal thing so if you goto an artist wedding, and he's very colorful, of course you can add more color as well.just remember, this is their day. leave the pinstripe suits at home, don't use flashyties or accessories. just keep it simple, wear your suit, be respectful, and let themshine. if you go to a wedding that is extremely casual, don't get all super dressed up, maybein that case, a blazer without neckwear and a pair of khakis is a better way to go becauseagain, you do not want to outshine the bride and groom. now what you wear when it says "cocktail party"for a "garden party" or for an actual cocktail party, if it's in the afternoon, maybe afterwork, you can certainly add more colors. if
you come straight from work, maybe just bringanother tie that you can exchange that's a little more lively and maybe a pocket squareor a boutonniere flower. simply add that special character, you should never just show up inyour regular business suit. always try to create a little something extra. if it's acocktail party in the evening, you can wear darker suits, maybe try to go with darkerties and have white pocket squares in darker shades. again, no tuxedos but maybe a boutonniereto make the whole thing pop. if it's an event during the day like a garden party, i thinka stroller suit will be extremely nice. if you want to learn more about this garment,check out this article. as a general rule, you should always keepin mind that more patterns, more colors make
things stand out more so ideally, if you'renot quite comfortable yet, just start with one accent piece, either you have a boldercolor jacket or you have a strong red or yellow tie. don't try to mix it all together, tryto go one accent piece at a time and if you feel more comfortable, maybe you can add twobut never overdo it. chances are, you already have the core pieces like the jacket, suitand the shirts in your wardrobe but if you want to create a unique look with that boutonniere,pocket square and tie, check out our selection of fort belvedere things, everything you seehere, is available in our shop and much more. take a look and if you enjoyed this videoand found it helpful, make sure to sign up to our newsletter or subscribe to our channelin youtube and you will never miss a video
