What to wear to a wedding
The wedding invite gives you more signal than you think — the venue, the time of day, and one or two dress-code words. Decode those and most of the decision is made.
Below is the quick version. If you want the app to just build the look from clothes you already own, Clottr does that in seconds.
Read the dress code first
Black tie means a floor-length gown or a tuxedo. Cocktail means a midi dress or a suit. "Festive" or "garden" means you can lean into color and lighter fabric. When in doubt, dress one notch up rather than down.
Match the venue and time
A 3pm garden ceremony asks for lighter colors and breathable fabric; an evening ballroom wants something richer and more structured. Let the setting set your formality.
Skip white, and read the season
Avoid white, ivory, and anything that competes with the wedding party. Then let the season pick your palette — warm neutrals and jewel tones in cooler months, lighter and brighter in summer.
Build it from what you own
You almost certainly have a wedding-appropriate look already. Clottr scans your closet, checks the formality and weather, and assembles the outfit — then shows it on you before you commit.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does cocktail attire mean for a wedding?
Cocktail is a step below formal: a midi or knee-length dress, or a well-fitted suit. It should feel dressy but not floor-length. Clottr can filter your wardrobe to cocktail-appropriate pieces automatically.
Can I wear black to a wedding?
In most modern settings, yes — black is elegant and widely accepted, especially for evening weddings. Avoid it only if the invite signals a casual daytime or beach theme.
How do I figure out what to wear from my own closet?
Clottr reads the occasion and weather, then builds a wedding-appropriate outfit from clothes you already own and renders it on you, so you can decide without buying anything new.
