Dressing like a Gentleman - What To Wear On Various Occasions
The appropriate clothes for various occasions are given

Tuxedo, wear the latter.

opera.

evening wedding.
- At a
dinner to which the invitations are worded in the third person.
- At a
ball, or formal evening entertainment.

certain State functions on the Continent of Europe in broad daylight.

theater.

dinners.

informal parties.

at home.

England to business.

Traveling.

coat of a blue suit with white flannel or duck trousers for a lunch, or to
church, in the country.

or black sack suit will do in place of a cutaway at a wedding, but not if you
are the groom or an usher.
