英美文化中，参加婚礼穿什么好?

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。
