What to Wear if You’re A Guest at a Wedding

ft. The Bachelor Australia’s Jimmy Nicholson

Watching your friends get married is easy. Ensuring you nail the dress code while not outshining the groom is where things can get a little tricky. With the help of The Bachelor Australia’s Jimmy Nicholson, we showcase what to wear for different weddings, helping you to stand out for all the right reasons.

Modern Man

When the theme gives the freedom to interpret as you please, keeping things chic with a suit and turtleneck is a winning combination, while the bold colourway ensures you won’t clash with the groom.

Black tie

Dressing for a black-tie wedding doesn’t necessarily mean you have to wear all-black.

Vintage vibes

Because how often do you get the chance to rock some suspenders? Exactly. It’s the simplicity here that makes the difference, and after several hours on the dance floor, you’ll be grateful for the comfy boots.

Keep it classic

An elegant suit alongside a plain black T is a pairing that never goes out of style. Adding some jewellery to the mix allows you to show some personality while staying true to the theme.

Country is callin'

Hitting the ranch means channeling your inner cowboy. Boots and vintage belt are mandatory, as is the thumb in pocket pose.

Beach boy

We hate to break it to you but coastal weddings are not an excuse to whip out the shorts and thongs. Instead, think about a relaxed suit in a soft colour on top of an open collar shirt. This way, you’ll stay cool – in more ways than one.

Jacket ($599), shirt ($169) and pants ($189), all by Ralph Lauren; pocket square, ($19.95) by MJ Bale; sunglasses ($1410) by Fred; bracelet ($229), watch ($549) and ring ($269), all by Thomas Sabo.
