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，拋花球，切蛋糕。但是更具挑戰性的傳統是，要弄清穿什么才符合復雜的結婚禮服準則。

But most of the time, wedding dress codes fall into one of the following categories.

不過，很多時候，結婚禮服準則可分為以下幾種。

1. WHITE TIE

1、白領結

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結婚禮邀請函，則男士可以租一套燕尾服，搭配白背心和蝶型領結;女士可選擇最優雅的及地禮服和昂貴珠寶，并搭配引人注目的發型和妝容。

2. BLACK TIE

2、黑領結

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.

黑領結可以比白領結少打扮一些，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、可選擇的黑領結

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.

可選擇的黑領結是當代的一種禮服準則。對男士來說，可選擇的黑領結意味著，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帶，這樣也不會太隨便。同樣地，女士可以穿適合黑領結的幾乎所有服飾，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帶的著裝準則;更前衛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。
