Rehearsal Dinner Outfits

Tailored shirts, trousers, knitwear and blazers from independent boutiques for the dinner before the wedding.

A rehearsal dinner outfit balances evening formality with ease through tailored trousers, a soft blazer, fine knitwear and clean leather shoes. Relaxed tailoring in midnight blue or black wool pairs with ivory silk shirts to soften structured shoulders while preserving a ceremonial tone. Keep it a step below what you will wear to the wedding itself.

Sulvam, started in Japan by the pattern maker Teppei Fujita, takes classic tailoring apart and leaves raw edges. Homme Plisse Issey Miyake makes pleated jackets and trousers that do not crease. A.P.C., the Paris label Jean Touitou founded in the late eighties, brings jeans and knits.

Tailored pants paired with alpaca knitwear or buttoned silk shirts form the base under an unlined wool coat. WDLT117 in Toronto brings most of the tailoring, Due West in Toronto adds knitwear from A.P.C. and Adidas x Wales Bonner, and Utopia in Toronto adds Dior, Hermes and Chrome Hearts, some of it pre owned.

Common questions

What defines a rehearsal dinner outfit?
Wedding rehearsal dinners call for attire between day wear and ceremony formality. Guests combine relaxed tailoring, fluid silk shirts and pleated wool trousers rather than rigid tuxedo suits.
How should someone style clothes for a wedding rehearsal dinner?
Combine dark wool trousers with a fine alpaca knit or an open collar silk shirt. Layering a soft blazer over knitwear keeps the profile sharp across long courses.
Which designers make pieces suited for a rehearsal dinner?
Homme Plisse Issey Miyake makes pleated jackets and trousers that keep their pleats through dinner. Sulvam brings tailoring left raw at the edges, and A.P.C. brings jeans and knits.
