white, these include a touch of blue, pink, and the like. Even for a social event such as this, it is not advisable to omit the tie, unless the bride and groom are organising a so-called “themed” wedding, which implies an exception to the rules of social etiquette. Since guests come to weddings in pairs, it is a good idea to choose, for example, the colour of the tie according to the colour of the partner‘s dress or accessories. Always, so that these guests look like a colour-coordinated couple.

Every man should always decide what purpose he dresses for and what he expects from it. If you are going to the fi tness centre, sweatpants are the way to go. When going to a restaurant with friends for a drink, there‘s nothing wrong with jeans, a T-shirt, and comfortable trainers. However, it is important to know that when you are going to an event from which you are expecting something, you must dress properly. Even though there has been a loosening of the rules in men‘s formal fashion it doesn‘t mean we can dress as we please. Many men don‘t realise this and then wonder why their plans don’t work out. Nothing can ever change the fact that clothing has a major impact on how you appear to others and what their impression of you will be. In terms of social signifi cance, it is not likely that there will be any changes to this in the future. The saying „the clothes make the man“ will always be true.
