Wedding day attire
A morning suit is formal daytime attire for men, traditionally worn at weddings, royal events, and other ceremonial occasions.
It consists of a tailcoat with a curved front cutaway, striped trousers, a waistcoat, and a formal shirt with tie or cravat.
The name reflects its original purpose as morning dress for upper-class gentlemen.
The groom and his father wore matching morning suits.
