    Formal Daywear (aka morning dress)

    This can be worn when a daytime event calls for formalwear and is a morning suit equivalent. It would be more appropriate for a formal daytime wedding than the black tie options (shown in the post following this one), which are best reserved for after 6:00 PM. When the wedding festivities run into the evening, there is no need to change out of formal daywear.

    Despite the name, this is a versatile look that can fit in at many occasions, day or night, when people are very smartly dressed. For example, formal daywear can also be worn to an evening event when a sharp, dark suit would be expected, but black tie would be too formal. In such situations, swapping in black leather buttons can help mute the formality of a black barathea silver button Argyll jacket. It should be noted, however, that the nicer tweed Argylls from the previous section could also fill that very-smart-but-not-yet-formal role.
