What to Wear to a Wedding Guest: Men

Wedding guests in semi-formal attire should anchor their look with a suit and tie, aiming for a polished step above business wear without crossing into black-tie territory. A well-fitted suit in a seasonal fabric—wool or linen blends—ensures you look sharp through cocktail hour and reception, while a thoughtful tie or pocket square adds appropriate celebration without competing with the wedding party. Fit is paramount: jackets should sit cleanly at the shoulder, trousers should break just once at the shoe, and sleeves should reveal a half-inch of shirt cuff.
