Jeans to a wedding

@ZareenKhan

I’d think she is strange? Perhaps it cud mean disrespect too for not sparing 5 mins to change into something appropriate. However, i doubt such a person would ( atleast shouldn’t ) be on the bride/groom’s mind. That had be such a waste of their precious
wedding time.

Ha! someone I know said the same thing…it’s disrespectful to show up in such inappropriate clothing. And I think it is, but at the same time I can’t imagine a bride and groom caring about it (unless it was a very close friend/family member doing so).

@rosedreams

If he is a teenager I may ignore it… But grown up… I’ll still ignore but it’ll come across as weird to me. But honestly I wouldn’t confront the person.

Well, no one’s confronting anyone, lol. It just seems odd.

@Laadli

I personally wouldn’t care, I’d love to be have a wedding so chilled that even I could wear jeans to it. However I think that if you are attending someone else’s wedding you should respect their feelings. If they want a formal dresscode then you should adhere to their wishes. If, however, they are a tramp like me, then feel free to turn up in your PJs.

@TLK

Jeans is part of semi casual party-wear, if wore properly. Usually, it is fitted boot cut style.

Now someone is wearing lose or prison style jeans to a party, then its totally stupid.

Not a party, but a wedding. I feel like ther’e sa lot more leeway at davats/parties, than at weddings. (personally..unless it’s something with my close friends I wouldn’t be caught dead in jeans at a desi gathering!)

@Mirch

But nobody enforces any dress code in any shadi, at least I did not get an invitation with a request to adhere to formal dress code. Yes I have got many which says no boxed gifts please.

Yeah, but like TLK said, it’s common sense…social norms to dress properly at a wedding.

@Guac

Honestly I would find it odd. BUT it really depends on how the jeans are worn. I know men who wear jeans to weddings, but again it depends on how they are worn. Usually with dress shoes, dress shirt and a blazer…and depending on the wedding usually that is fine.

For females I would think:

Dark jeans with a dressy top and pumps…ok might fly.

Faded jeans with a t-shirt and sneakers? No.
@Mirch; my mother is like your wife (I’d probably be the same way) we would never even think about wearing jeans to a wedding…dressing up is half the fun!

Agree with you on dressing up, that’s half the fun!

I have to say, I’m surprised to see some of these replies. I dunno about yall but all the weddings I’ve ever attended here in US/Canada, are super dressy. You don’t have to be decked out, but jeans are definitely a no-no. Maybe for little kids it’s OK, but for a teenager who’s old enough to know better,…I"m surprised people are saying jeans for a wedding are OK.
