Hello everyone, I've started compiling a list of morning dress code rules similar to my white tie list as I'm having trouble finding a single handbook online. Most blogs have the gist of it right but still have an error here and there in the examples. That being said, I've decided to compile my own list of morning dress rules and I'm wondering if anyone can contribute to them?
- Waist coat: Double or single breasted. (Preferably double in my opinion). Should cover trouser waist. Preferred color is grey, buff, or blue. (Pastel colors)
- Coat: Hook closure. Length should be to the back of knees.
- Trousers: Cashmere stripes. This can be either grey and black to contrast the jacket. Some people in more formal situations have trousers that match the coat in all black. Should be high waisted.
- Tie: Silver and black tie or ascot for wedding. Other colors are fine. Pastels may be best.
- Shirt: White pull down collar. Base shirt can be colored such as blue and white striped.
- Shoes: Oxfords preferred. Patent is not required.
Perhaps the best modern example I can find. Although the waist coats may be too long and the suits look a bit blue.
Again, anything that can be added is much appreciated. Either general or more technical rules. Thank you!
