But for men, everything is traditional: the royal dress code consists of a black tailcoat, a white dress shirt, a white pique vest and a white bow tie worn over a stand-up wing collar, patent leather shoes and black socks.

Why is it important to specify the dress code in the event announcement? This helps guests prepare in advance, avoid awkward situations, and feel confident. A dress code is absolutely necessary if you plan to record interviews with speakers or participants. In addition, observing the dress code shows respect for the organizers and other guests, creates a unified atmosphere and emphasizes the importance of the event.
If you specify a dress code, be sure to provide an opportunity to contact the organizers for clarification.
