What to wear

What to wear, by invitation

  1. Read the invitation

    Black tie: a tuxedo and a black bow tie. Formal or lounge suit: navy, charcoal or grey, with a tie. No dress code: a well-cut suit.

  2. By day and outdoors

    Garden weddings in Dubai are warm, even in winter. A suit in Sand Linen or a light wool in a pale colour, with a crisp shirt and tie.

  3. South Asian weddings

    A bandhgala in the right fabric suits the mehndi, the sangeet and the reception. Leave red to the bride, and avoid head-to-toe black or white. At a gurdwara, cover your head.

  4. For women

    A tailored pantsuit works at almost any wedding. Leave white and ivory to a Western bride, and red to a South Asian one.

Questions

Wedding guest: common questions

What should a man wear to a wedding in Dubai?

Follow the invitation. With no dress code, a navy or charcoal suit and tie, or linen for an outdoor day wedding. Keep the tuxedo for black tie.

What should a guest wear to a Nigerian wedding?

The Nigerian kaftan, or the Agbada for the grandest days. Many families choose an aso ebi fabric or colour, so ask the couple first.

Can a guest wear a bandhgala to an Indian wedding?

Yes, from the sangeet to the reception. The sherwani is usually kept for the groom and his close family.
