What is Morning Dress for Men?
Morning dress, or formal day dress as it is sometimes called is the traditional attire worn by men at weddings, Royal Ascot, memorial services, formal occasions and daytime events in the presence of H.M The King.
Why is it Called Morning Dress
Morning dress originates from the 19th century when British gentlemen would ride their horse's in the morning with a single breasted morning coat. The cutaway front and split in the tail of the morning coat made for easier and more elegant riding. Morning dress is now the traditional attire for formal daytime events and tradition dictates that it should only be worn to daytime events and not to any event starting after 6pm. After 6pm one would wear a dinner suit for formal events.
