ONE | Baseball cap, or any hat that isn’t formal
TWO | Sneakers, you’re not running a marathon, you’re just dancing
THREE | Scuffed shoes, because honestly this is just sloppy
FOUR | Man flops, because the happy couple doesn’t need to see an un-manicured man foot
FIVE | Distressed denim, this is more VMA than big day
SIX | Short sleeve dress shirts, opt for a button-up and roll the sleeves if you’re toasty
SEVEN | Crazy prints, because nothing is dizzier in a picture than a loud Hawaiian shirt
EIGHT | Jorts (Jean shorts), it’s a wedding not a fraternity party
NINE | Cargo pants, it’s not survival school so there really is no need to store snacks in your pockets for later
TEN | T-shirts of the cotton variety (an even bigger taboo if they include graphics), it’s a formal event so be sure leave the casual shirts in the closet
