Here is a quick break down of the most highly requested “what do I wear” looks:
Funeral:
- opt for a dark-coloured suit, such as black, charcoal grey, or navy.
- Pair the suit with a crisp, white or black dress shirt.
- Wear a conservative tie in a solid, muted colour, most traditionally black
- Choose black or dark brown dress shoes depending on the colour of your suit.
- Keep accessories minimal and understated.
Concert:
- Go for a stylish, casual look that reflects your personal style.
- Wear a comfortable pair of jeans or chinos.
- Pair it with a crisp simple block colour tee or a printed tee if you prefer.
- Layer with a neat denim or leather jacket.
- Complete the look with leather sneakers or boots.
Wedding Guest:
- Wear a well-fitted suit in a classic colour like navy, charcoal grey (personally I avoid back
for weddings). If you are a little more daring, consider deep green, mauve or an interesting
check or windowpane.
- opt for a light-coloured dress shirt, such as white or light blue, be mindful not to convey a
corporate aesthetic.
- Choose a tie that adds a touch of elegance and character. It is not imperative to match
your partners colour in this regard.
- Wear polished dress shoes that complement the suit (and socks always darker than the
pants)
- Consider a pocket square for a sophisticated touch. Do not match tie and pocket square
Court:
- Wear a formal business suit in a conservative colour, such as navy or charcoal grey. Studies
show that black in open court appears to convey mistrust or guilt so veer away.
- Pair it with a crisp white or light blue dress shirt.
- Choose a classic tie in a solid or subtle pattern.
- Wear polished black or dark brown dress shoes.
- Keep accessories minimal and professional.
Job Interview:
- Wear a tailored suit in a classic colour like navy or charcoal grey. Avoid black.
- Pair it with a well-ironed, solid-coloured dress shirt.
- opt for a conservative tie that complements the suit.
- Wear polished dress shoes that match the suit and are in good condition.
- Ensure belt is also in need and tidy condition
- Keep grooming neat and tidy.
Birthday:
- Dress according to the specific birthday celebration's dress code (e.g., casual, semi-formal).
- opt for a well-fitted button-up shirt paired with chinos or dress pants.
- Choose footwear that suits the occasion, such as loafers or clean sneakers.
- Accessorize with a watch or a stylish belt, if appropriate.
Family Occasion:
- Dress according to the formality and style of the occasion.
- For a casual gathering, go for well-fitted jeans or chinos and a casual shirt.
- For a more formal event, wear a dress shirt with dress pants or a suit.
- Choose footwear that matches the occasion, such as loafers or dress shoes.
- Accessorize subtly, such as with a nice watch or a tasteful bracelet.
Remember, these are general guidelines, and it is important to consider the specific details
and requirements of each occasion.
