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.
婚禮季正式到來,隨之而來的還有許多歷史悠久的傳統(tǒng),拋花球,切蛋糕。但是更具挑戰(zhàn)性的傳統(tǒng)是,要弄清穿什么才符合復(fù)雜的結(jié)婚禮服準(zhǔn)則。

But most of the time, wedding dress codes fall into one of the following categories.
不過,很多時候,結(jié)婚禮服準(zhǔn)則可分為以下幾種。

1. WHITE TIE
1、白領(lǐng)結(jié)

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.
如果你收到一封白領(lǐng)結(jié)婚禮邀請函,則男士可以租一套燕尾服,搭配白背心和蝶型領(lǐng)結(jié);女士可選擇最優(yōu)雅的及地禮服和昂貴珠寶,并搭配引人注目的發(fā)型和妝容。

2. BLACK TIE
2、黑領(lǐng)結(jié)

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.
黑領(lǐng)結(jié)可以比白領(lǐng)結(jié)少打扮一些,但只是少許。所以,先生們,去租一套無尾禮服。女士們,穿一件晚禮服或最時髦的酒會禮服。

3. BLACK TIE OPTIONAL
3、可選擇的黑領(lǐng)結(jié)

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.
可選擇的黑領(lǐng)結(jié)是當(dāng)代的一種禮服準(zhǔn)則。對男士來說,可選擇的黑領(lǐng)結(jié)意味著,如果你喜歡的話,穿無尾晚禮服不會有錯,但是,如果你更愿意選擇深色西服和領(lǐng)帶,這樣也不會太隨便。同樣地,女士可以穿適合黑領(lǐng)結(jié)的幾乎所有服飾,而這合情合理。一件綴以裝飾的酒會禮服就很好。

4. COCKTAIL ATTIRE
雞尾酒會禮服

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.
男士們可以遵循西服加領(lǐng)帶的著裝準(zhǔn)則;更前衛(wèi)的先生們也可以穿正裝背心,外搭禮服夾克。女士們,從下擺到小腿肚的禮服裙以及下擺到大腿中部的禮服裙都適合你們。

5. DAYTIME SEMIFORMAL
日間半正式場合

Afternoon country club or garden weddings will often have a "daytime semiformal" dress code. Men can wear a lightweight linen 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.
午后鄉(xiāng)村俱樂部或花園婚禮經(jīng)常有一套“日間半正式場合的”著裝準(zhǔn)則。男士可以穿輕質(zhì)亞麻套裝或一身淺色西服上衣和長褲,當(dāng)然也可以選擇打領(lǐng)帶。對女士來說,這是一個穿輕質(zhì)淺色日間連衣裙或茶會禮服的好機會。

6. DRESSY CASUAL
6、服飾考究的休閑場合

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.
婚禮邀請函上“隨意”這個詞指的是一次非常閑適的婚禮。男士應(yīng)該穿一件領(lǐng)圈頂端釘有紐扣的有領(lǐng)襯衣或polo衫和休閑褲;雖然不要求穿夾克禮服,但這也是一個不錯的選擇。在一場閑適的婚禮上,女士則有很多自由空間,可以從寬松上衣長褲到太陽裙中選擇。

7. ISLAND
7、島嶼

And finally, if you see the word "island" on your wedding invitation, think tropical when choosing your outfit. For women, gauzy fabrics, 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,如果你在婚禮邀請函上看到“島嶼”這個詞,在選擇服裝的時候,可以考慮薄型織物服裝。對女士來說,應(yīng)該選擇輕薄透明的織物、絢爛的色彩以及適合沙灘的鞋子。對男士來說,可以穿與日間半正式婚禮上相同的輕質(zhì)套裝或運動外套,但不要系領(lǐng)帶。選擇平底便鞋或一雙雅致的帆船鞋,可以不穿襪子。
