Wedding season is officially upon us, and with it come many time-honored traditions. The bouquet toss. The cake cutting. But far more challenging tradition is to figure out what to wear in compliance with complicated wedding dress codes.
婚礼季正式到来,随之而来的还有许多历史悠久的传统,抛花球,切蛋糕。但是更具挑战性的传统是,要弄清穿什么才符合复杂的结婚礼服准则。
But most of the time, wedding dress codes fall into one of the following categories.
不过,很多时候,结婚礼服准则可分为以下几种。
1. WHITE TIE
1、白领结
If you receive a white tie wedding invite, for men, prepare to rent a pair of tails with the accompanying white vest and bow tie; for women, opt for your most elegant floor-length gown, expensive jewelry, and dramatic hair and makeup.
如果你收到一封白领结婚礼邀请函,则男士可以租一套燕尾服,搭配白背心和蝶型领结;女士可选择最优雅的及地礼服和昂贵珠宝,并搭配引人注目的发型和妆容。
2. BLACK TIE
2、黑领结
Black tie is a tad less dressed-up than white tie, but only a tad. So gentlemen, go rent your tuxedos. And ladies, wear an evening gown or your fanciest cocktail dress.
黑领结可以比白领结少打扮一些,但只是少许。所以,先生们,去租一套无尾礼服。女士们,穿一件晚礼服或最时髦的酒会礼服。
3. BLACK TIE OPTIONAL
3、可选择的黑领结
Black tie optional is a contemporary dress code. For men, black tie optional means it's not wrong to wear a tux, if you like—but if you'd be happier in a dark suit and tie, you won't be underdressed. Ditto for women, who can wear just about anything they'd sport to a black tie affair, within reason. An embellished cocktail dress is fine.
可选择的黑领结是当代的一种礼服准则。对男士来说,可选择的黑领结意味着,如果你喜欢的话,穿无尾晚礼服不会有错,但是,如果你更愿意选择深色西服和领带,这样也不会太随便。同样地,女士可以穿适合黑领结的几乎所有服饰,而这合情合理。一件缀以装饰的酒会礼服就很好。
4. COCKTAIL ATTIRE
鸡尾酒会礼服
Guys can follow this dress code in a suit and tie; more fashion-forward gentlemen might be able to switch out the jacket for a formal vest. Ladies, any party dress with a hemline from mid-calf to mid-thigh will work for you.
男士们可以遵循西服加领带的着装准则;更前卫的先生们也可以穿正装背心,外搭礼服夹克。女士们,从下摆到小腿肚的礼服裙以及下摆到大腿中部的礼服裙都适合你们。
