Dressing Rules for Men


1. Do wear black leather shoes. Brown shoes are fine for warm weather or in the country. Do not wear brown shoes to formal invitations after 6 pm (no browns after six). Avoid gray/grey shoes, sandals or gym shoes.
2. The more formal the occasion the darker the socks. Socks should be a touch darker than the trousers. Reserve white socks for sports.
3. Do not show exposed calves. Socks should cover your legs, as showing hairy legs is not sexy.
4. Wear either a belt or suspenders (braces) - nobody in the world needs both!
5. Avoid tie and handkerchief in the same color - it just looks boring.
6. Do not wear a shirt with short sleeves together with a tie. Keep it either formal or informal.
7. Avoid jacket sleeves that are too long. Ideally, at least half an inch (1 cm) of the shirt cuffs should show.
8. Do not wear a loosened tie with an undone collar - unless you really want to be informal.
9. Avoid wearing clips with your tie with formal dress - some people think clips should not be worn at all.
10. Do wear an undershirt (vest) underneath your shirt, otherwise leave your jacket on.
