Overshirts – everywhere you look, men are wearing them. But despite their increasing popularity, a lot of confusion surrounds these versatile garments. 

If you're like a lot of guys, you might not even be quite sure what an overshirt is. No need to worry. We have you covered! 

While the overshirt is inherently a casual, cozy garment, you can wear one with style.

In this article, we'll show you how to wear men's overshirts without looking sloppy. 

What Is An Overshirt? 

Almost any casual garment worn on the upper body made from a thicker fabric than a regular shirt and thinner fabric than a jacket could technically be called an overshirt. “Some people even lump denim jackets and quilted jackets underneath the umbrella term “overshirt.”

It's true that “overshirt” is a general term that can be applied to a wide range of garments. However, for the sake of this article, an overshirt— also sometimes called a shirt-jacket or, more rarely, a “shacket”— is a broad term that refers to a garment that isn't quite a shirt and not quite a jacket.

This article won't discuss garments, such as denim jackets and quilted jackets that already fit neatly into existing definitions. Instead, we'll focus on shirt-jacket hybrids.

Are Overshirts Jackets? 

Despite sometimes being referred to as “shirt jackets,” overshirts aren't jackets. They occupy a unique position in a man's wardrobe, not quite a jacket and not a regular shirt.

Why Wear An Overshirt?

While not a jacket, overshirts can provide the same core functions— providing added protection and warmth. Since they blur the line, workshirts are incredibly versatile.

Overshirt's heavyweight fabric is ideal for layering in colder weather. Especially when worn over a t-shirt or a hoodie, or underneath a coat, an overshirt will add needed warmth when the temperature drops.

Shirt jackets are also convenient for working and relaxing outdoors. They often have several deep pockets that you can use for carrying tools or other items. Also, being thick and rugged, overshirts can help protect you against cuts and abrasions.

Not only are overshirts practical, but they also look great. When they fit well, they help to add bulk to your shoulders and upper body, making you look more muscular.

Types Of Overshirts

Overshirts come in many varieties. Therefore, things like hem length, the number of pockets, fabric type, and thickness aren't standardized. I like to think of overshirts as existing on a spectrum between shirts and jackets. Some overshirts are more “shirt-like,” and others are more “jacket-like” than others.

Below are just a few of the numerous types of overshirts:

#1 Flannel overshirts

When I think of an overshirt, the first thing that comes to mind is a heavy flannel shirt-jacket with a checked or tartan pattern. A flannel overshirt is the best option if you're looking for a cozy overshirt for fall.

#2 Wool overshirts

Wool overshirts are ideal for winter. Unlike most fabrics, wool will help retain heat even when it's wet. It's also incredibly durable. A good wool overshirt is likely to cost more than other types of overshirts as wool clothing is expensive to produce.

Buy the highest quality wool shirt jacket you can afford to lower your cost per wear and save money in the long run.

#3 Military-inspired overshirts

Military-inspired overshirts often feature flapped pockets, epaulets, and snaps on the cuffs. You can think of them almost as a pared-down field jacket.

Military-inspired overshirts are most commonly found in cotton or canvas in solid colors such as navy, green, or a shade of brown.

#4 Denim overshirts

Denim is also twill-woven cotton fabric. Denim overshirts occupy the space between denim shirts and denim jackets. They usually are slightly longer than denim jackets (which should reach just below the belt). Denim overshirts usually have breast pockets.

Dark blue denim overshirts are more formal than light washes.

#5 Corduroy overshirts

Casual and durable, corduroy is a fantastic fabric for overshirts. Corduroy, being a somewhat uncommon fabric, will help you stand out. Go for a brown corduroy shirt-jacket with double breast pockets for a classic option.

#6 Overshirts with zippers

Most overshirts have buttons. Occasionally, you can find an overshirt that has a zipper in the front. These overshirts usually lean more towards the jacket end of the spectrum.

How To Choose The Right Overshirt 

How should an overshirt fit?

Making sure that your overshirt fits properly will make the difference between looking sloppy and looking sharp. 

The ideal overshirt fit depends on how you plan on wearing it. For example, if you plan to wear your overshirt over a thick sweater, you should opt for a looser, slightly longer fit than if you intend to wear it over just a t-shirt. However, if you plan on wearing it over a t-shirt most of the time, you can go for an overshirt that fits closer to the body.

You've probably noticed that oversized shirt-jackets are “in.” However, before you jump on this trend, you should know that, in general, anything oversized is not going to be as flattering as a garment that's the correct size for you. Also, an oversized shacket will likely look dated in a few years once the trend has died out.

If you're still interested in buying oversized, avoid large, bold patterns as they can make an oversized shacket appear comically large on you. Instead, opt for plain colors or small, muted patterns.

How long should overshirts be? 

Choosing an overshirt of the proper length is a critical element of fit. An overshirt that is too long or too short will throw off your proportions— people will be able to tell that something looks “off” about your outfit even if they cannot pinpoint the cause. 

Overshirts should be long enough to cover your belt. You should be able to raise your hands above your head without exposing your midriff. 

The hem should extend no further than the bottom of the fly. You don't want to look like you're wearing a dress. 

You want to be sure that your outermost layer is longer than the layers underneath. For example, you shouldn't wear an overshirt underneath a bomber jacket that is several inches shorter than the overshirt.

3 Rules For Wearing An Overshirt

Rule 1: Nail the fit

When it comes to dressing well, fit is king. Make sure that the fit of your overshirt is intentional. Make sure it fits the way you'd like before purchasing, or make plans to take it to a tailor.

Don't wear an oversized shirt-jacket unless you're intentionally going for an oversized look.

Rule 2: Four Layers Max

One of the best things about cold weather is that you can comfortably wear more layers than in warmer months. That said, you can wear too many layers.

Generally, three layers look better than two layers. Added layers help to give your outfit greater depth. However, when you have four or more layers, you run the risk of looking too bulky.

Rule 3: Never tuck in an overshirt

Overshirts are not made to be tucked in. They should always be worn untucked.

6 Ways To Wear An Overshirt

#1 Wearing an overshirt on its own 

Many overshirts can be worn like a regular casual collared shirt. Denim, military-inspired, and flannel overshirts are best for this.

Wear a red flannel overshirt with navy chinos. Throw on a pair of brown leather chukkas and a matching belt.

#2 Wearing an overshirt with a t-shirt 

An unbuttoned overshirt worn over top of a t-shirt is a great relaxed look for a relaxed evening by the campfire.

Consider wearing a classic white crew neck tee underneath a dark blue wool overshirt. Pair with gray-wash jeans and black leather sneakers. Finish this look by adding a field watch.

#3 Wearing an overshirt over a sweater 

Another option is to wear a cable knit sweater underneath a shirt jacket with a zipper.

You might go with a gray sweater underneath a dark green shirt jacket. Dark blue jeans and oxblood brogues will help to elevate this look.

#4 Wearing an overshirt for manual labor

Overshirts were originally a garment worn by men that work with their hands.

When choosing an overshirt for manual labor, you'll want to choose a cut that is somewhat looser than you'd probably wear for casual social situations. Look for a shirt-jacket with large pockets for storing tools and other items. You'll also want to look for a thick, durable fabric such as flannel or canvas.

Simply wearing an overshirt with what you already wear when working outdoors will help you create a professional image. Check out this video for more working man style tips).

#5 Wearing an overshirt with a coat

It can be challenging to dress well in cold weather. The key is to understand layering.

An overshirt is an excellent middle layer when dressing for winter. For truly frigid conditions, you could pull on a warm synthetic base layer, then a crewneck pullover sweater, followed by an overshirt, and finally, an overcoat.

On the bottom half, wear long johns underneath gray flannel trousers and dress boots. Don't forget a pair of leather gloves and a warm hat.

Final Thoughts

Once you know how to style overshirts, you can wear them in almost any casual situation.

The box…what is it?

When people meet you they place you in a box in their mind.

Is this person:

• Successful or unsuccessful?
• Polite or rude?
• Worth getting to know or not?

So WHY does “the box” matter?

The box = your status…

•  Imagine asking someone on a date…they reject you…what box did they place you in?

•  Imagine going into an interview…they reject you…what box did they place you in?

•  Imagine pitching a group of investors…they reject you…what box….

See what I mean?

Is the box fair? Not always – but it's reality.

But the good news is…you can control the box…if you know how.

This article gives you 5 easy ways to raise your status as a man (none of which requires you to be rich…)

Status Tip #1: Smile & Be Stylish

You might be a little down. You're about to interview for another job you probably won't get. Or you're going on a first date for the third time this month.

Is it okay to feel defeated? Yes. But it's not okay to ACT defeated. That's how you lose the battle before it begins.

So even if the odds of something working out aren't great, act otherwise. Show everybody you're a winner-to-be…by smiling.

A smile (confident but not a cocky one) can level-up your status right off the bat. It's a human thing. Studies reveal that smiling beats frowning – as well a neutral face – in terms of a person's facial attractiveness. If you were to see two faces of the same subject (male or female) with one having a smile and the other being neutral…you're more likely to rate the smiling face as more attractive.

But it doesn't stop there. The most “I'm an awesome guy” smile you can make won't get you far if your clothing tells others “I'm worthless.”

Does it mean people judge a book by its cover?

Yes. That's the world we live in…especially when it comes to first impressions.

However, dressing up well isn't about spending lots of money. Only the rich and famous would be showing status if that were the case. It's about wearing clothes that conform to certain standards. Clothes that society associates with positive thoughts and feelings. That requires:

• Nailing the fit (know your body type)
• Dressing appropriately for your age
• Looking your best for formal & casual settings
• Choosing the right accessories (dress shoes, hats, necktie knots, pocket square folds, etc.)

Bonus Tip: Wear A Nice Watch

You could try raising your status and think you should make big changes. But that's not true at all.

Your goal is to impress people and gain their respect through small, subtle details. And what could be better than finding a stylish dress men's watch?

Watches enhance your outfits for business or social functions. They can also help you start conversations with different people…maybe even future partners and colleagues.

Status Tip #2: Try Power Posing

You've got an interview today and you're waiting in the office lobby. Your résumé is good, you know exactly what to say…but this is how you're seated:

•  Your head is facing the floor
•  Your arms are folded up
•  Legs are stuck together

Well…does that look like a guy who believes he's the best candidate?

No. That's someone who thinks he's worthless.

You'd be much better off incorporating “power poses” before an interview or while you're preparing for a presentation.

You could do them for a minute in the restroom, or you could try them in your office when you're alone. What's important is you're consciously giving your body power through these poses…which strengthens the mind.

How true is all of this? Take it from researchers at UC-Berkeley, Harvard, and INSEAD in France who did a test on people doing a mock job interview. Participants had to do either a high-power or low-power stance before the interview (while coming up with a speech about their qualifications).

It turned out that the high-power posers did the interview with better delivery, presentation…and were more hireable overall.

Status Tip #3: Sit Down The Right Way

We don't always realize it: the way we sit = a strong non-verbal cue. People tend to make quick judgments about others based on how they're seated.

Why?

Unlike standing – your legs have more options to position themselves. You can keep them together with no space in between…but that's similar to the “closed” nature of folding your arms. Not to mention it's uncomfortable for men!

What you want to do is either:
A. Sit with both feet on the floor and legs 11-24 inches apart (with your body upright)
B. Use the Figure-Four Leg Lock Position (see the image above)

Not only are both positions more comfortable to take…but they allow you to show a more open and less defensive attitude. They raise your confidence levels. You feel a sense of power transferring from the body to the mind (since people with power are often seen to take up more space).

And these positions signal you're actively listening to somebody else talking – which helps in meetings or networking events.

Status Tip #4: Master Good Handshakes & Eye Contact

We're all taught to shake hands with people we just met, to look them in the eye during conversations…and these lessons become second nature. There's just one problem: we're not actually taught how and how much.

There's sort of a scale from “not enough” to “too much” for both practices. To express trust and honesty you'll have to find that middle ground. Otherwise…it'll damage your status when people believe you're not trustworthy the minute they meet you.

What's a good handshake?

Don't just touch the other person's fingers without gripping their hand. The other extreme is gripping too tight (as in airtight) or going beyond two up-and-down motions. Those mess-ups can happen if you're nervous. So you do want to find that midpoint, practice it with a friend, and make it a habit.

It's a similar issue for eye contact. Eye contact is crucial while shaking hands (for as long as the handshake is) or making requests. But it's trickier with extended, less personal communication. 

The University of British Columbia did a study where students were made to listen to a speaker and look non-stop at either (A) his eyes or (B) his mouth. The result? The ones in category A felt less comfortable listening than the other group did.

Those students thought the speaker was “aggressive” with the incessant eye contact…and he seemed less persuasive.

So when you're delivering a long speech or presentation, never make eye contact with any single person for more than 30-60% of the time.

Status Tip #5: Learn To Communicate Well

Just watching my videos, you can tell I love to talk. Actually…I do more than just talk. I communicate.

What is good communication?

It's knowing your audience, sharing ideas they can relate to, so they feel a certain way about your speech at the end. You leave them feeling inspired, enlightened or even happier. And when you make people feel good by talking…your status skyrockets.

How do you accomplish those things? The trick is to be a great storyteller. Good storytellers have a way of connecting with their listeners (helping the release of oxytocin) and keeping them all ears.

There are three angles in storytelling you can take: professional, social, and romantic. To master them – it's about practice and repetition.

Another good tactic is to use positive humor in conversations.

Studies have shown that women are particularly more attracted to men who can be witty, use puns, and lighten the mood – as opposed to men who tease others or use self-deprecating jokes. It's even better if you infuse this humor in your storytelling.

Why do people appreciate good stories and positive, witty humor?

It's because those qualities tend to showcase one's intelligence. And in general…intelligent people are perceived with more status. So don't undervalue your communication skills.

We all need to present ourselves well. Sometimes we struggle with confidence. We feel like we don't belong in the same room as everybody else. Or we're too nervous about the occasion that we forget to be natural.

To be respected and become a high value man in the eyes of others all you've got to remember are those 5 tips on body language and communication.

Learn to control your body, your speech, your attitude (relax!) and you'll always get off to a great start. Anyone you meet will listen, feel comfortable, and think highly of you. You'll impress them…and everything else should follow smoothly.

We've talked a lot about men's hairstyles at Real Men Real Style. Nevertheless, it's always good to have a refresher – especially when it comes to what the ladies like.

That being said, we're going through the top 7 hairstyles women love to see on a man.

• 7. The Low Fade.
• 6. The Quiff.
• 5. The Buzz Cut.
• 4. Classic Side Part.
• 3. The Undercut.
• 2. The Crew Cut.
• 1. The Champion: Bed Head.

Let's start with number 7…

7. The Low Fade

It's pretty much what it sounds like. The low fade features a taper that comes within an inch or so of the hairline.

The barber cuts the hair on the sides until there's little or no more left on the skin. Otherwise, guys can be as creative as they like when it comes to this style.

The fade is also versatile – you can implement it for a plethora of other styles. It really drives home that effortless but deliberate look. You don't have to try hard to look amazing.

6. The Quiff

There's a lot of debate as to whether the quiff differs from the pompadour (discussed below). The answer is simple: yes.

The quiff tends to be far more subdued than its more rambunctious equivalents. It functions with longer hair on top with the sides and back cut short (perhaps a fade?).

To get the volume you need, you'll have to blow-dry your hair with a round brush, then finish off with some quality hair styling product to keep it from going all over the place. It's the perfect complement for gentlemen with naturally wavy and curly hair.

5. The Buzz Cut

We're taking a detour to a more rugged men's hairstyle. The buzz cut is hailed as a symbol of military heritage and heroism – and has been for centuries. In fact, 4th-century Roman emperors sported a style resembling it to drive that message home.

It still applies today.

The buzz cut is the most low-maintenance men's hairstyle on the list. It relies on a short length all over the head. A 2 on the sides and a 5 on the top work well, but a 1 all-around does the job too.

It's perfect for men who'd rather just wake up and skip the hair routine altogether.

4. The Classic Side Part

The side part is synonymous with the businessman's aesthetic. Don't believe me? Just watch Mad Men.

Your barber should leave the top a little longer – 2 inches max – while keeping the sides tapered. Side parts can epitomize elegance using some pomade, but can also be more laissez-faire by using your fingers to keep it in place.

The attraction with this men's haircut lies with the power it exudes. It's intimately associated with business, and business means money.

3. The Undercut

You'll find the undercut on plenty of sites discussing men's haircuts. What started as a common style in the 1920s made a comeback, and it's taken the world by storm.

The undercut is great for appealing to your dapper side. You get it but cutting your sides down to a 2, 1, or shaved clean. The top of your head stays long, at about 2-4 inches in length.

This cut is great if you're proud of your angles – it accentuates the angles on your face and makes you look more masculine.

Peaky Blinders is a great reference point!

2. The Crew Cut

The “Ivy League cut” holds true to its cognomen. It really gives off an aristocratic vibe while keepings itself low maintenance.

You can achieve it by keeping the sides and back tight while keeping the top a little longer. Not terribly long, though – think between the buzz cut and undercut as far as length.

Styling is up to you. Gentlemen such as Anderson Cooper keep it combed to the side, while Matt Damon's been seen with a more ruffled look up top.

And now, the number 1 spot belongs to…

1. Bed Head

Yes, messy bed head. I was surprised too until I read a survey that sampled 319 Americans. 72% from both genders found bed head to be the single most attractive men's hairstyle.

The numbers don't lie.

We're not talking literally ignoring your hair after waking up, but we are talking about leaving it a little messy. Once you wash your hair, give it a few sea salt sprays and ruffle it a bit with your hands.

It just screams “I didn't even try – I look this good out of bed.”

Summary – Men's Hairstyles

• 7. The Low Fade.
• 6. The Quiff.
• 5. The Buzz Cut.
• 4. Classic Side Part.
• 3. The Undercut.
• 2. The Crew Cut.
• 1. The Champion: Bed Head.

Were you shocked by my number 1 pick? Come on, you know I'm all about facts and numbers. All these cuts are guaranteed to help you draw the attention you want – experiment, and choose which suits you best.

Weddings – they are some of the most important events in societies across the world. This goes double if you are the one getting married. But what are you supposed to wear? What is the appropriate wedding attire for men in different scenarios?

Get it right, and you will create a day everyone attending will remember for years to come. Get it wrong and you'll cringe every time you look at your wedding photos.

Gents, that's why today I'm giving you my ultimate guide on what to wear to a wedding. Here's what we're covering:

• Why we dress up for weddings
• The five questions that determine your wedding's dress code
• Wedding dress code terms 101
• The three things to remember for every wedding

Why We Dress Up For Weddings

Grousing and grumbling about wedding attire is almost as much a tradition as throwing the bouquet. In a way, that’s a good thing.

Not that people don’t make unpopular wedding choices, or spend too much on clothes, or all the other complaints.

But the factor that sometimes drives the cost of wedding attire up is the same factor that makes it so essential: it’s visibly special.

By that we mean it’s not something you throw on for any old day. Even when wedding attire isn’t made custom for the event it’s still usually a conscious choice made to highlight how special the occasion really is.

And people do that in many different ways. For some people, it’s the weight of tradition that lends an outfit that extra special something. Things like tuxedos or morning coats are meaningful parts of the day. For others, it’s a cultural touchstone that makes the difference. That might mean a custom-made dhoti for an Indian groom or just some tasteful pocket squares in the family tartan for a Scottish man.

So we dress up for weddings to make the day more special.

Wedding participants

And each participant’s outfit plays its own role in contributing:

• The bride’s outfit is, in most weddings, the centerpiece of the show. Progressive couples might struggle for a little equality there. The reality is that women’s dresses are easier to make extravagant and unique than men’s suits. Short of matching outfits, someone has to be the center of attention, and 99 times out of 100 it’ll be the bride.
• The bridesmaids’ outfits are there to complement the bride’s. They may or may not be coordinated with the groom’s party as well, depending on how tightly-organized the wedding visuals are.
• The groom’s outfit is, ideally, there to make everything perfect for the bride (just like all his other responsibilities — that day and for the rest of his life!). Its job is to make him look as sharp as he can without stealing attention from the bride.
• The groomsmen’s outfits are usually a similar or slightly toned-down version of the groom’s, or something else that complements his ensemble but doesn’t quite equal it.
• Guests’ outfits are usually given a specific dress code; when they are not, good business attire with perhaps a few small social touches are traditionally expected. They should always show a little extra effort for the special day.

For all of these participants, the wedding attire can mean a little added inconvenience or a lot. It depends on the wedding. But universally, the goal is to add a little more uniqueness to a special day — and that’s a goal we can all come together on.

With that in mind, we take a look at both traditional and modern outfits for every male participant: how to dress as the groom, how the groomsmen should dress (and potentially “bridesman,” or a man in the bride’s wedding party), and what to wear as a wedding guest.

We’ll also take a look at the basic wedding dress codes used on invitations, how to dress for a “themed” wedding or costume ceremony, and how to rent wedding clothes.

The Five Questions That Determine A Wedding's Dress Code

Ask yourself these questions to determine the level of formality for a wedding:

#1 Where is the wedding going to take place?

Outdoor weddings tend to be less formal than indoor weddings and call for option 3 – however this isn't always the case.

If the couple are getting married on the beach, a linen shirt and pants would work great! You can also consider wearing slacks with a traditional dress shirt sans tie. This way you are still keeping the mood of your ceremony casual but look the part, even if you are the groom!

If an indoor wedding is being planned, particularly at a gothic or ornate church/building, you may consider formal or semi-formal dress.

If you tend to be up-to-date on current fashion trends, and consider yourself a “fashionable” kind of guy, formal dress may be an option for you. But, if you are more of a classical man, you may want to opt for a semi-formal outfit.

A tuxedo will never go out of style (it hasn't yet in over a hundred years!), so you can't go wrong.

#2 When is the wedding taking place?

Traditionally, if a wedding is taking place before sundown (or 6 p.m., whichever comes first) it is considered a daytime event, and therefore less formal; tuxedos are probably inappropriate for a daytime event.

Instead, opt for a more casual option like a suit. When you wear a black suit that fits well, the appearance can be as stunning as a tuxedo, while remaining appropriate for the event.

Weddings after sundown (or 6 p.m.) are considered more formal, nighttime events and are more conducive to tuxedos.

If the event straddles the day/evening timeframes, go with the option that suits the event most closely. For example, if the ceremony is being held at 1 p.m., but the reception will not be until the evening, you may want to opt for the slightly more casual suit.

However, if the ceremony is being held at 4 p.m. with the dinner and reception immediately following, you may be able to bend the rules and wear a tuxedo. Go with your gut!

#3 What is the general “feel” of the event?

Talk to the bride and groom about this one! Ask them to share their vision for the event. Have they always wanted a romantic, fairytale wedding complete with top hats and tuxedos? Or are they dreaming of a casual ceremony at sunset on theirfavorite beach? Depending on their ideas and the theme of the event, you may be able to determine which style is best suited.

You should also ask yourself if you are going for a trendy look, or would you rather keep your look classic? Think about it – brides from the 80s are probably kicking themselves every time they look at their wedding albums and see the sky-high, teased bangs and puffy sleeves (no offense brides of the 80s!).

Just be sure to be mindful of being too trendy. The nature of fads is that they fade in and out. You don't want to be left with “trendy” wedding photos long after the fad has faded.

#4 What are guests expected to wear?

Again, this is probably a great topic to discuss with the bride and groom. Let's say one of your close friends showed up wearing slacks and a dress shirt (sans tie). Would your first thought be ‘Wow, I'm glad he's comfortable!' or would you think ‘how inappropriate for the wedding!'?

Be sure to consider the couple's feelings. Some brides are comfortable with their guests wearing clothes that they feel comfortable in, while others require their guests to attend in accordance with black tie dress code.

Whatever is decided, be sure what you're wearing coincides with the formality that guests are expected to adhere to. Communication is key!

#5 What is the bride going to wear?

Even if it's a traditional couple and the groom will not know what the bride's dress looks like until the wedding day, having an idea of the style and formality will help the groom to decide what he and other men should look like.

Is the bride going to wear a short, cocktail-length dress? Or will she be wearing a traditional gown with a train and veil? Knowing these details will help to determine the level of formality required by everyone else.

Think about it – if you opt to wear a linen shirt and pants while the bride is wearing a gown with chapel train and veil, you may look a little odd – to say the least.

With these questions answered, take a look at the wedding dress codes below.

You can give your wedding any look you please such as a military wedding, as long as you know your options.

Formalwear is elaborate (and expensive), black tie is elegant in the evening, and suits are always appropriate at any time of day.  More casual styles can be easier on the guests and the wallet.

So long as you look over the options beforehand, wedding attire is nothing to fear. If you're comfortable in what you're wearing, you'll have more of your mind free to think about the important parts of the day — the happy couple and the wedding!

Identify the dress code, choose an appropriate style within it and then look for well-fitting, quality clothing that matches it. If it is your wedding, share the dress code for men and women with your guests so they know what is expected of them. Having a few guidelines is a lot less stressful than being left to guess.

Wedding Dress Code Terms 101

Most invitations, as we mentioned above, will list a specific “dress code.” They may not use the word “code” itself, but expect to see a line about “wedding dress” or “such-and-such attire is requested” in there somewhere.

These are reasonably standard categories. Any event planner or fashion consultant knows them automatically, and it’s assumed that guests are aware of at least the basics. The less formal the code, the more the lines get blurred. In general though. the categories break down as follows:

Formal attire

This is a phrase that gets misused sometimes, so exercise some caution.

When most Americans say “formal wear,” they’re thinking of the classic men's tuxedo. And that’s not strictly accurate — the black or midnight blue dinner jacket typical at “formal” events is really a semi-formal garment.

True formal wear has two different outfits for men: “morning dress” during the daytime, and “white tie” at night. But be aware that your host or hostess may be misusing the phrase “formal” — if an invitation calls for formal attire, rather than using a specific phrase like “black tie,” it may be worth a discreet phone call or e-mail checking whether formal or semi-formal dress is desired.

Daytime formal attire – morning dress

Morning dress is — officially, as far as these things go — the most formal daytime attire for men. It’s almost never worn at anything but a wedding by anyone outside of the European aristocracy, however, and looks more like a costume than fine dress to most of us.

Nonetheless, it’s technically speaking still the maximum dress standard for men. If you’re invited to a true “formal dress” wedding in the daytime, expect to have to rent, unless you happen to have the morning dress staples handy.

Classic morning dress standards

• Tailcoat – A morning coat closes in the front (usually with a chain link) and ends at the waist in front, with the sides sloping down to a broad set of tails. Morning coats are usually black or dark gray, sometimes in a textured weave, and should always have peaked lapels.
• Morning trousers are not made as part of a matching suit with the coat. They are usually patterned and made from a lighter gray. They do not have “ribbon” or piping like dinner trousers, but are still worn high on the waist and should always be paired with suspenders, not a belt.
• Waistcoats in morning dress are light and do not match the jacket or trousers. Dove gray and yellow buff are the most common, but any light (non-white) color is fine. The waistcoat should be long enough to fully cover the tops of the trousers. There is more than one way to properly wear a waistcoat – they can be single- or double-breasted, and can have lapels or not — this is something of a personal style choice.
• Shirts are light-colored, but usually not plain white (although white is technically acceptable). A light background with slightly darker patterns is typical, ranging from minimal striping to elaborate “wallpaper” designs. None of the colors involved should be dark or bold. The collar should be a turn-down style, not wing.
• Men's dress boots are the appropriate footwear; a plain black balmoral style is ideal. Plain black balmoral oxford shoes can also be worn, but are slightly anachronistic.

Finishing touches

• Neckties or cravats are equally acceptable, though at the point where they’re wearing morning dress most men prefer to go for the cravat. Be aware that this means a dress cravat — broad, hand-tied, and worn outside the shirt but beneath the vest — not the colored, scarf-like versions that are coming back into contemporary fashion and are worn tucked into the shirt.

• Top hats — light gray with a dark band — are expected. A pure black hat is technically acceptable but looks rather stark, and is usually reserved for funerals or state affairs.

As strange as morning dress feels to most of us, it’s important to remember that it’s not a costume — it’s the highest sartorial standard in Western culture. It gets worn for social events by European royalty and, to a lesser degree, by the “old money” of the American east coast. Try it, you'll probably look sharper than you might first think.

Evening formal attire – white tie

The dividing line between daytime and evening for formal events usually gets drawn around 5:00 in the afternoon, but there’s leeway depending on the time of year. Typically the invitation will make it clear which is expected or else be set at a time that is clearly one or the other. In general, if it’s going to be dark when the event concludes, you wear the evening version.

For men at formal events, that means the “white tie” standard of dress. It’s similar to the more widely-known black-tie standard, but is even more exacting and has a few specific details that set it apart.

Classic white tie standards

• Tailcoats are worn instead of tailless dinner jackets. Unlike the morning coat, an evening coat is a cutaway with a sharp waist. The front of the jacket simply ends, while the back continues in long tails. It is not buttoned or fastened, but stays open at the waist. The lapels are peaked and covered in silk, usually ribbed grosgrain rather than sheer satin.
• Trousers are plain black, uncuffed, and have either one or two narrow vertical stripes at the outside seams made from the same satin as the lapels.
• A white waistcoat made of stiff pique cotton is required. The fit has to be exacting: it needs to fully cover the trouser waist (which is usually quite high), but cannot peek out from under the cutaway front of the jacket. It’s a narrow window, which is why few rental outlets even handle white tie.
• Shirts are made from very thin, light, white cotton, with a thicker, almost cardboard-stiff “bib” down the center of the front. The collar is always a stiff wing collar that detaches from the shirt. The cuffs are traditionally a single style, rather than the doubled French style. They still fasten with the cufflinks most men associate with French style cuffs. The front of the shirt fastens with studs, not buttons.
• Bowties are — obviously — white, usually made from the same stiff pique as the waistcoat and shirtfront. Make sure you know how to tie a bowtie because they should always be hand-tied and never premade into a bow.
• Dress pumps are the ideal footwear, though a pair of plain, highly-polished oxford balmorals will also be accepted. Patent leather — sometimes acceptable as a black tie option — is too ostentatious for white tie, and should be avoided.

Finishing touches

• Studs and cufflinks are always light-colored, unlike in black tie. Mother-of-pearl facings are typical, but light-colored metals such as white gold or silver are acceptable as well.
• Top hats, if worn, should be plain black. Plain white kid gloves are also acceptable, and may be stored in the pockets sewn into the coattails, sometimes called the “glove pockets.”

White tie has, in addition to those basic elements, its own very exacting rules. They cover everything from the pocket placement to the number of shirt studs used. It is a very, very thorough dress code — probably the most formal a man will ever wear.

In the unlikely event that you’re asked to attend a white-tie wedding, either have your attire made by a tailor specializing in formal wear or seek out a very knowledgeable rental outlet. Warehouse-style rental chains are not going to be equipped to manage proper white tie.

Semi-formal attire

Most “formal” weddings in America are actually semi-formal affairs. Many of them also get the timing wrong. The traditional “tuxedo wedding” that so many couples opt for should really only be held at night. This usually means after 5:00 or so (depending on the local sundown).

Like formal attire, semi-formal outfits come in two flavors: the stroller outfit in the morning and the tuxedo or dinner jacket ensemble at night.

Semi-formal daytime attire: the stroller

Strollers are also sometimes called “morning suits”. This phrase inevitably leads to confusion with “morning coats” and “morning dress”. The name is misleading anyway — not all strollers are made as a matched suit, though they can be.

In general, the style looks very much like its formal cousin, with slightly different jackets and accessories:

• Stroller jackets are often just called “strollers,” from which the rest of the outfit takes its name, much as we refer to men wearing “tuxedos” when we mean the whole black tie ensemble. They should be either black or gray, button at one point on the chest (usually with a chain), and do not have the tails of a morning coat. The lapels are usually peaked, though notched lapels are technically acceptable.
• Trousers should be a lighter gray than the jacket, and can be visibly textured or patterned. Like in morning dress, they are worn high on the waist and fastened with suspenders, never belts.
• Waistcoats are essentially the same as in formal attire: a medium color like dove gray or yellow buff, with the lapels and button stance a matter of personal taste.
• Shirts are interchangeable with formal attire. They should be light-colored, lightly-patterned, and take a detachable turndown collar. Plain white is a bit more common in semi-formal day attire than in morning dress.
• Derby or homburg hats are worn instead of top hats (a top hat should never be worn without tails).
• Dress boots or plain black, polished balmoral oxfords, as in morning dress, are appropriate footwear.

The stroller is probably the least common of the formal and semi-formal options for weddings.

Semi-formal evening wear: the black tie standard

Of all the weddings billed as some kind of “formal” (whether they get it right and say “semi-formal” or not), the vast majority will be black-tie affairs. Black tie is theoretically evening dress, but that won’t stop people from requesting it during the day, and a good guest follows the instructions on the invitation.

The key thing to remember with black tie is that it is an exacting standard — it’s not meant for improvisation. There are a lot of bad tuxedos out there, especially if you’re renting, and you don’t want to wear any of them. Unless the wedding planners instruct you to rent a specific brand or model, you should wear a tuxedo that meets all the traditional requirements.

Classic black tie standards

• Tuxedo jackets should be plain black or midnight blue, made from worsted wool with satin-faced peak or shawl lapels. The jacket has no tails and does button in front, unlike formal jackets. It should have a breast pocket, in which you wear a white pocket square or handkerchief.
• Trousers are made from the same fabric as the jacket, creating a matched suit. There should be a vertical stripe covering each outside seam made from the same satin as the lapel facings. There are no cuffs or belt loops, and the suspenders should button to the inside of the trousers.
• Waistcoats, if worn, are black, with a low cut to leave the shirtfront visible and small lapels that should be narrower than the jacket lapels (so that both are visible). They are often backless, and fasten with a simple clip in the back.
• Shirts are plain white, with a doubled layer of fabric down the front placket. They can be starched stiff like a formal shirt, but often are not. Either turn-down or wing collars are acceptable, though purists will insist that the wing collar is too formal. The shirt usually fastens with studs, but mother-of-pearl buttons are technically acceptable.
• Bow ties should be black and made from the same silk as the lapel facings and trouser ribbon. It should always be hand-tied.
• Dress pumps are the classic style of footwear, but plain black oxford balmorals are also acceptable. Black patent leather is also an option for black tie footwear, so long as the style of shoe is plain and simple.

Finishing touches

• Cufflinks should either be a solid metal color or be metal with a plain black facing. The studs do not have to match the cufflinks, though the colors of metal should complement one another.
• Pocket squares should be plain white and neatly folded.
• Cummerbunds are an alternative to a waistcoat. The sash goes around the waist with the broadest part in front and the pleats facing upward (so that they can be used to hold small, flat items like tickets). Classic black tie calls for a black cummerbund, but modern style accepts a very sober, dark color in its place, such as deep burgundy or forest green.
• Boutonnières are usually the only color in a black tie outfit. Red and white are both common for wedding, with cornflower blue a somewhat less common but still traditional option. In all cases it should be a single large blossom, not a bouquet of sprigs.

Black tie optional

In many cases, grooms plan to wear a tuxedo (usually their party will as well), but do not want to require it of their guests.

Thus was the “black tie optional” invitation born. It’s exactly what it sounds like: a guest may choose to wear a proper black tie tuxedo, or may instead wear a dark, conservative suit color.

If you choose to wear a tuxedo, it should be black tie as discussed above. If you wear a suit, it should be the highest end of business attire: dark, unpatterned suit, white shirt, conservative necktie, and plain black belt and shoes.

Black or charcoal gray are preferred to navy blue for black tie optional suits, though navy is technically acceptable. It’s mostly just a matter of blending in — anything but the darkest navy color is going to stand out in a room where almost everyone else’s jacket is black.

Business attire

It sounds odd to use the phrase in reference to a wedding, but “business attire” is actually a fairly common standard on wedding invitations. It’s also the standard you should adhere to when the wedding simply requests “dress clothing” or “dress attire.”

Dress or business attire — as far as invitations are concerned — implies what we’d think of as traditional suit-and-tie wear, the style of dress still worn at most financial firms and law offices.

Most men have bought a business suit of their own, eliminating the need for rentals. Decent ones can be found for as cheap as the low $100s, if you have time to shop around and keep an eye out for specials, and they’re useful to own outside of weddings as well, making them a much more sensible investment for most men than a tuxedo or morning suit.

The clothing is easier to acquire but the dress standard is still fairly strict, with very few exceptions or places for personal expression:

• Jackets and trousers should be made from the same fabric, usually a worsted wool. Suit color should be either charcoal gray, navy blue, or black. Plain white pinstripes (not chalk stripes or anything wider!) are technically business-appropriate, but a solid color is better suited to a wedding. Single or double-breasted suit jackets are both options and lapels may be either peak or notch.
• Vests can be worn if they are made from the same fabric as the suit, for a “three-piece suit.” This may actually be a good wedding option if you have access to it — the vest will keep you looking sharp without overheating when the festivities shift to the dance floor and men are allowed to take off their jackets and ties.
• Shirts should be plain white and have a turndown, non-buttoning collar.
• Neckties are mandatory if it says “business attire.” Stick with a relatively conservative pattern, though most colors are fine as long as they aren’t too bright. Red and light blue are both common wedding options. Avoid wearing a black suit with a black tie unless you’re in the band or waiting on tables!
• Shoes can be either plain black or plain dark brown, since this is a social occasion rather than business, but black usually looks better. Belts should match the shoes.

Finishing touches

• Pocket squares are an important accent and a good way to add a personal touch. Always have one, and don’t feel limited to plain white — this is where many men make their festive gesture.
• Boutonnières are not required (unless you were given one by the wedding organizers, in which case you should wear it), but sporting a flower in your lapel is another option for adding some color and festivity to your outfit. A boutonnière and pocket square can be worn together, but be careful of clashing colors.

As you can see, business dress is actually a fairly strict standard — if you’re wearing a light-colored suit, or one with a pattern, or a shirt that isn’t plain white, you’re not quite up to code. At a wedding most people won’t care — it is a celebration, after all, not a board meeting — but whenever you can, meet the highest standard and use the permitted accessories to personalize.

Dress casual and business casual

“Dress casual” and “business casual” are two phrases that mean roughly the same thing.

The key difference between business dress and business casual — for the purposes of weddings — is that color, pattern, and texture are allowed in your dress casual suits and shirts.

Some will also argue that anything less than business attire makes neckties optional for men. This is technically true, and outside of a wedding a business casual outfit without a necktie would be fine. For a wedding a necktie is always recommended though. Nine times out of ten you’ll find all the other men wearing them as well. In the rare case where neckties are the minority you can always take yours off.

• Jackets are still expected. They aren’t required to match the trousers, but lightly-patterned or lighter-colored suits are an excellent choice if you own one. If you go with unmatched jacket, wear a navy blazer or another formal option rather than a very casual sports jacket.
• Trousers should either be part of a matched suit or else be wool or good cotton dress slacks. Jeans are not an option, even dark ones.
• Neckties should follow the same guidelines as business dress — conservative pattern; no bright colors.
• Shoes can be any leather dress shoe, including casual styles like saddle shoes and loafers.

Finishing touches

• Dress/Business-casual accessories follow the same guidelines as business dress — both pocket squares and boutonnières are acceptable, and can be worn together if desired. Have a pocket square at the very least.
• Vests may be worn, either as part of a three-piece suit or as an unmatched accent, and are once again a good way to stay sharp-looking after the jackets and ties come off.

The key thing to take away here is that “business casual” is more business than it is casual. You still need a tie, and you still can’t wear jeans or sneakers. You want to err on the formal side of style for a wedding. This means a nice jacket.

Casual/Relaxed dress

An invitation that requests “casual” or “relaxed” dress is making it easy on you, but it’s not an anything-goes pass.

The dress code does tell you that the planners want a relaxed feel. That means neckties are out, but it doesn’t automatically downgrade you to a T-shirt and jeans.

The ideal casual wedding outfit is a casual men's jacket like a sports jacket, a collared shirt with some color to it, dark-colored jeans, corduroys, or other casual trousers, and casual leather shoes. That gives you a pretty wide range of colors and styles to choose from. But, note the important elements:

• A jacket (the ubiquitous gesture that you’re making a deliberate effort to look sharp).
• A collared shirt.
• Dark trousers.
• Decent shoes that you can put a fresh shine on.

The jacket gives you a place for your festive accessories, whether that’s a boutonnière or just a pocket square. It also features extra pockets, which almost always come in handy if you’ve brought a female date to the wedding. Women's wedding outfits tend to lack storage space compared to ours. Expect to be used as a backup purse at one point or another.

The key takeaway here is that even a casual wedding deserves a jacket, collared shirt, and decent shoes. You shouldn’t look like you ran your errands just before showing up.

The Three Things To Remember For EVERY Wedding

Wedding attire is an incredibly broad topic. But it all essentially comes down to these three points:

#1 Start buying your wedding clothes early

Gents, I recommend you start at least 90 days before the big day. Why?

You will save money – I own a custom tailor shop and the man who comes in a few weeks before his wedding ends up spending more. This results in having to make the work a priority over others, overtime costs and possible mistakes from a rushed order. All can be easily avoided with some upfront planning.

You will avoid stress – There is enough stress you deal with during your wedding. Don't make your outfit one of them. Choosing and purchasing your outfit a few months ahead will go along way in reducing stress.

You have time to practice – With your outfit picked out, you can testdrive it. Put your clothes on and wear them around the house or even the office if you can. Get comfortable with them. If you have bought a new pair of shoes you will have plenty of time to break them in. There is nothing worse than sore, uncomfortable feet. Just be careful not to damage your outfit in any way!

#2 Look your best

You should look like a part of the proceedings. Know the dress code, execute it well and have whatever festive accents you need to look appropriately celebratory.

Dressing sharp on your wedding day is a sign of respect. Not just to your partner but to all the guests surrounding you sharing this special occasion together.

Get an outfit that fits you well and make sure all your details are tidy. Shined shoes, trimmed hair and nails, pressed clothing — it’s all about making things look special and showing that you’ve gone the extra mile.

Pictures of your wedding day will last a lifetime. Ensure you look sharp so you don't have the look of shame every time the albums come out.

#3 Be easy-going

Never criticize, never complain; in point of fact never mention clothing at all, except to tell your bride that her dress is beautiful. You do your best, and trust everyone else to do the same, and you keep any sartorial opinions to yourself. Even if your bride made you wear a Hawaiian-print waistcoat.

That’s weddings for you.

Antonio, DMT.NEWS, DMT BeautySpot,

Did you know that more than 70% of the way you communicate is body language?

From facial expressions, where you put your hands, and even the way you stand can tell someone a lot about what you’re thinking and feeling.

Women tend to be better than men at gauging emotions through facial expressions. So when it comes to attracting women, it’s not so much what you say that’s important, but how she reads what your body tells her.

In this article, we’re going to look at 10 men's body language cues ladies can’t resist.

Let’s get started…

#1 Naturally Consistent Eye Contact

Even if you get the rest of your body language perfect – if you can’t look her in the eyes or appear to force eye contact, this will sabotage all of the efforts you’re putting in.

Imagine if you’re talking to someone and they are staring directly into your eyes without blinking for a long period of time – this would make you feel uncomfortable. Likewise, if you’re talking with someone who is looking anywhere and everywhere but your eyes, you’d feel like they aren’t listening.

So how do you find the balance? 

Well, according to research at Michigan State University, you should be making eye contact 50% of the time while talking and 70% of the time while listening. So what this means for you is to make eye contact with the women for about 4-5 seconds at a time.

So just long enough for you to smile and carry on the conversation. 

#2 Unroll Your Shoulders

If, like 65 million other Americans, you spend time on your computer for hours per day, then you may have issues with your posture. But poor posture is the least of your concerns when trying to attract women. 

When you slump your shoulders, it gives the impression that you’re intimidated by the people around you. 

This might not even be the case, and you may not realize that your posture makes it look like you want to hide from the world.

If you’re conscious of the body language cues that ladies can’t resist, then you’ll want to do this one small trick – pull your shoulders back and keep them there. It’s that simple! Yes, you may feel uncomfortable at first, but you’ll strengthen your back and look far more confident to women over time.

#3 Take A Stance

Women are attracted to confident men, and the key to alluding to your confidence is how you stand. 

Keeping your feet shoulder-width apart and locking back your shoulders will indicate that you have both strength and confidence. Next, keep your chin up and leave your arms by your sides. 

When talking to a woman, make sure you point your feet at her so that she can see you squarely – if she is talking to you and you’re facing away, or to the side, she might take this as a sign that you don’t like her.

#4 Think About Your Hands

Believe it or not, another body language cue that attracts women is how approachable you are – and your hands can play a huge role in showing this.

Showing even just a little bit of your palms tells women that you are open and comfortable. This will help put her at ease and makes you available in the moment. 

Don’t just stand there waving your palm in her face though, use your hand gestures that involve putting your palms up when you’re talking with her. 

#5 Show Your Interest

Women are attracted to men who listen, and your body language will tell her if you’re really listening to her.

As already mentioned, show her you’re listening to her and are attracted to her by facing her directly. Give her all the attention she needs and wants, and be present in the moment.

The conversation will flow smoothly, and she’ll pick up on your intentions. 

#6 Fight Your Fidget

Do you shake your leg or fidget with things in your hands? 

This can be a sign that you’re nervous and gives women an indication that you’re either out of control or you’re not interested.

If you’re meeting a woman for the first time, this can be off-putting. However, showing self-control and not fidgeting through controlled and collected movements will instantly make you more attractive.

If women love men with confidence, your controlled and purposeful movements will definitely indicate that you are more certain – making everyone around you feel more comfortable.

Remember: you’re not a robot, so don’t do everything in slow motion!

#7 Fix Your Clothes

When a woman approaches you, show her that you’re interested in her by fixing your clothes.

This might sound redundant from point number 6, but this small gesture will show her that you take pride in yourself. If you do this often enough around her, she’ll know that you do it for her.

You can also achieve this by ‘fixing’ your hair or simply sorting out your sleeve. The trick is that it looks as natural as possible. This is because you are doing it for her. 

#8 Keep Enough Personal Space To Be Comfortable

Whether you are at work, on public transport, a bar, etc., women who sit by you will notice if you’re comfortable. 

Now don’t get manspreading and making her uncomfortable by taking up more space than you need. Instead, you should own the space you have – placing your phone and keys on the table, leaning back, and relaxing.

If you’re in a space that’s too small for you, you’ll look like you’re shrinking and shying away from her. On the other hand, women are attracted to men that see them as equal and cooperate with them.

Just a tiny note: always sit directly opposite her if you can – this makes showing her how interested you are in her much easier. 

#9 The Welcome Walk

Imagine you’re walking down the street, and you see a guy walking towards you with his head down, hands in his pockets, and he’s in his own world. What impression does this give you?

This man is unapproachable, but you don’t have to be. Remember to walk with your head held high, shoulders back, and your chest out. This is about being open to the world and comfortable with where your surroundings.

#10 Mirror Her Moves

Mirroring someone’s mannerisms is a way you can show them that you’re listening, you agree with them, and you feel the same way. It builds familiarity and gives women a sense that you’re paying attention.

When we talk about mirroring a woman’s moves, we don’t mean in a way that looks like you’re making fun of her – think more along the lines of small gestures, a head tilt, placing your hand on your chin, that sort of thing.

Again, this will show her that you’re interested and make her more attracted to you because you’re showing her respect. 

#1 Thing To Avoid 

Do not ever cross your arms when talking to a woman you are interested in. Crossing your arms is a sign that you don’t want to be approached. It closes off your physical body, making it seem like you don’t want to engage with anyone.

Final Thoughts For Body Language Cues That Ladies Can’t Resist

Women are attracted to confident men who can show them how much they care. Your body language does most of the talking and gives subtle hints that you’re interested in her.

Don’t shy away from the world, and obviously, but you still need to speak to her. These small gestures can paint a picture that makes her feel comfortable, supported, and on equal footing with you.

Make sure that you put your most confident self forward and show her that she has your attention. Then, when you’re ready to ask her out, you’re more likely to hear “Yes!”

Also, remember that practice makes perfect, so practice your stance, your walk, your eye contact – it all adds up and makes women more attracted to you.
