参加婚礼穿什么？看看西式婚礼着装准则吧

 Wedding season is officially upon us, and with it come many time-honored traditions. The bouquet¹ toss. The cake cutting. But far more challenging tradition is to figure out what to wear in compliance² 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。

参加婚礼穿什么？看看西式婚礼着装准则吧

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, opt³ for your most elegant floor-length gown, expensive jewelry⁴, and dramatic hair and makeup⁵.

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 tuxedos⁶. And ladies, wear an evening gown or your fanciest cocktail⁷ 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 embellished⁸ 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 ATTIRE⁹

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。

5. DAYTIME SEMIFORMAL

日间半正式场合

Afternoon country club or garden weddings will often have a "daytime semiformal" dress code. Men can wear a lightweight linen¹⁰ suit or dress pants-and-blazer combination in a light color, necktie optional. For women, this is a great time to wear a lightweight, light-colored day dress or tea dress.

午后乡村俱乐部或花园婚礼经常有一套“日间半正式场合的”着装准则。男士可以穿轻质亚麻套装或一身浅色西服上衣和长裤，当然也可以选择打领带。对女士来说，这是一个穿轻质浅色日间连衣裙或茶会礼服的好机会。

6. DRESSY CASUAL

6、服饰考究的休闲场合

The word "casual" on a wedding invite indicates a more laidback affair. Men should wear a collared button-down or polo and chinos; a jacket isn't required, but it's a nice touch. And women have a lot of leeway at a casual wedding, with options ranging from slacks and a blouse to a sun dress.

婚礼邀请函上“随意”这个词指的是一次非常闲适的婚礼。男士应该穿一件领圈顶端钉有纽扣的有领衬衣或polo衫和休闲裤；虽然不要求穿夹克礼服，但这也是一个不错的选择。在一场闲适的婚礼上，女士则有很多自由空间，可以从宽松上衣长裤到太阳裙中选择。

7. ISLAND

7、岛屿

And finally, if you see the word "island" on your wedding invitation, think tropical when choosing your outfit¹¹. For women, gauzy fabrics¹², juicy colors, and sand-friendly shoes should be on the menu. For men, the same lightweight suit or sport coat you'd wear for a daytime semiformal wedding will do, but skip the necktie. And opt for loafers or a pair of nice boat shoes, without socks.

最后，如果你在婚礼邀请函上看到“岛屿”这个词，在选择服装的时候，可以考虑薄型织物服装。对女士来说，应该选择轻薄透明的织物、绚烂的色彩以及适合沙滩的鞋子。对男士来说，可以穿与日间半正式婚礼上相同的轻质套装或运动外套，但不要系领带。选择平底便鞋或一双雅致的帆船鞋，可以不穿袜子。
