There are sometimes dress codes or color schemes they want you to follow, but sometimes there is no protocol given beforehand. With black being a staple color in most people's closets, some may wonder if they can just wear the black dress they already have sitting in the wardrobe. Wearing black at a wedding is usually considered okay, as reported by The Knot. "Guests can absolutely wear black to a wedding," shared President and Creative Director of Anne Barge Shawne Jacob. "In the past, black was a color typically worn for mourning. However, over the years couples have been more open to breaking the rules and opting for non-traditional, modern wedding dress codes." "Today, there are so many attire options to choose from, especially in black." It is okay to wear a black dress or a jumpsuit for women, and men can also come in black suits and accessories. "Anything from a black tie, a black shirt or a black suit is definitely appropriate to wear to a wedding," also shared The Tie Bar lead stylist Onyx Martinez with Grafixfather. "Wearing black is a way to make you simple yet stylish without commanding large attention that should be saved for the bride and groom." When should you not wear black to a wedding? Although it is generally acceptable for black to be worn at a wedding, it is important to check beforehand. For example, wearing darker shades is usually not encouraged at traditional Indian or Chinese weddings. "Guests can wear any other color except for black. It's definitely not a color you should wear at an Indian wedding," said Crimson Bleu Events owner Nilima Patel. What should you not wear to a wedding?
