View: The PantsuitWhat to wear
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.
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.
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.
A tailored pantsuit works at almost any wedding. Leave white and ivory to a Western bride, and red to a South Asian one.
Fabric
Loro PianaItaly
A fine wool with a soft sheen. Our first choice for a first bespoke suit.
CerrutiItaly
Two tones woven together, so the fabric shifts from silver to grey as you move.
Italian LinenItaly
Cool and dry. It creases naturally, as linen does.
Timing
Book when the invitation arrives. With several weddings in the October to February season, plan the outfits together.
Questions
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.
The Nigerian kaftan, or the Agbada for the grandest days. Many families choose an aso ebi fabric or colour, so ask the couple first.
Yes, from the sangeet to the reception. The sherwani is usually kept for the groom and his close family.
