Cocktail
A tailored suit, just not a tux. A tie is the safer choice, though many cocktail invites treat it as optional. Go darker after 6pm.

For this event
- Leather soles slip and sink on lawns. Suede or a light rubber sole helps. Keep the jacket; it can come off after dinner.
- Don't wear anything that could be mistaken for the wedding party's look. Match the groomsmen's formality or sit just below it.
- After 6pm, go a shade darker than you would in daylight.
Skip these
- A tuxedo (you will look like staff)
- Sneakers, even nice ones
- Short-sleeve dress shirts
- Novelty ties

Budget for the tailor
Plan on $40–$80 to have sleeves and trouser length adjusted. A $300 suit that fits beats a $1,000 suit that doesn’t.
Matching charcoal trousers
