Here are some answers.

Casual

If you’re invited to a casual wedding, you will probably won’t wear a blazer or waistcoat. That is the simplest situation and the biggest risk is being overdressed. It’s ok to opt for pressed chinos, match you belt with your shoes and that’s all.

Business casual

If we’re talking about “business casual”, it will be necessary to wear a long-sleeved button down shirt, dress slacks and a blazer, which need not necessarily match your slacks and that’s all.

Semi-formal and formal

When it’s required a semi-formal outfit, the necktie is not optional. Moreover, you should choose some somber color and a matching suit.On the other hand, a formal dress code is requiring in addition a three piece suit (including blazer, waistcoat and slacks).

White tie/black tie

If you’ll invited on a black tie event it will be required to have on you a tuxedo, a white dress shirt and a black bow tie. Being the most formal dress code, a white tie event requires a black tailcoat jacket witch will be matched with a white waistcoat, a white dress shirt, and also a white bow tie.
