Morning outfit is a formal daytime dress code, which mainly consists of, for men, morning coats, vests, and striped trousers, and dresses appropriate for women. Men can also use popular variants in which all parts (morning coat, vest and trousers) have the same color and material, often gray and usually called 'morning gray' to distinguish it; This is only suitable for weddings and races and is known as morning dress. The semi-formal partner of this code is a stroller. The morning dress is now rarely used as something other than official dress, as a form of civilian attire, for example, by the provincial mayor (as an alternative to court clothing), but more commonly only for marriage, some civilian function, government or official kingdom, , for example, races such as Royal Ascot (where it is compulsory at Royal Enclosure) and at Epsom on Stand Queen on Derby Day, formal lunches (especially at City of London institutions, mainly from corporate and union livery) and uniforms at some schools most traditional in England such as Harrow and Eton. It may also be seen occasionally used in services at St Paul's Cathedral, London and St Giles' Cathedral, Edinburgh.

Histori
The name came from the practice of the men of the nineteenth century by riding a horse in the morning with the mantle of the morning being cut into pieces. The modern twentieth-century morning gown was originally a more casual half-dress, but as the nineteenth century grew, it gradually became acceptable to wear it in a more formal situation than a skirt mantle. In the Edwardian era took over the popularity of the skirt mantle as a standard daytime form of full dress men. When it was considered a more casual coat, it was common to see it was made with a step collar (bundled collar in American English), but because it took over from the skirt coat within the formalities it began to be made with a more formal pointed collar (stem collar in English America).

Outline
The morning dress consists of:
- the morning coat (morning jacket head), now always single breasted with link closure (as in some dinner jackets) or one button (or very rare two) and with pointed collars, possibly including silk edges on the edge coat and collar (and cuffs on old models with sleeves).
- vest, which matches the coat material.
- a pair of striped or checked striped pants worn with braces (suspenders, in American English)
- clothes;
- either turndown collar is worn (removable white, fastened with buttoned collar, or attached) with a tie, in which case the shirt has a double cuff.
- otherwise, a removable high-wing collar is worn with a one-handcuffed shirt; this combination is always accompanied now by the formal Ascot, as opposed to the different cravat days . This is the more formal option most commonly seen at weddings;
- plain or patterned silk handkerchiefs or pocket boxes can be worn; it is folded and inserted into the front chest pocket of the morning coat.
- black Oxford shoes or boots, or boots with horse-riding connections, such as George or Chelsea boots, or galosh boots; worn with ordinary dark socks (or other colors if not seen).
If the apron suits the coat, the ensemble becomes the morning dress. The vest may also fit, or not (a "strange vest"). The morning clothes are sometimes gray. The morning coat, especially the lighter one, is considered a bit more formal than the raincoat in the morning.
The following may optionally be worn or carried out by morning wear:
- hats, either a luxury classic silk, or modern Melusine fur (a luxury silk substitute, since it is no longer in mainstream manufacture). Or, a hat made of wool felt or wool, is another common choice.
- suede gloves, chamois, or skin of children; The most traditional colors are lemon or gray
- gray or white spats
- stick or umbrella
- pocket hours in the vest than in the collar, or watch
- a boutonni̮'̬re
Full description
Morning mantle
The morning coat can be a black herringbone wool or a gray Oxford with a knee-length tail. The formal pants ('spongebag') she wore with were 'cashmere' striped, or black and white checked.
Vest
The most traditional colors for the vest are gray, buff (brownish-yellow), or black. A black morning coat with matching black vest is the most formal choice, used for funerals, memorial services, civil clothing and diplomatic dress (replacing or completing the Court Gown), with academic attire, or in government use in America.
On social occasions or celebrations, e.g. races and weddings, contrasting vests worn, usually gray dove, pearly gray, or occasional enthusiasts, although there is a tendency for 'luxurious' vest of colorful materials and embroidery. Other colors sold by traditional British tailors include pale blue and pale pinks. Generally, traditional vests made of wool or linen.
The vest may be single-breasted with, or without, collar or double-breasted with a collar. The single-breasted collar model usually features a step collar, while the double-breasted model generally has a shawl or peak collar collar. Sometimes a white slip is worn, in the form of a piece of cloth that is etched into the inside of the vest to simulate the pale massage effect, although the use of two actual vests is worn out even for late Victorians.
Trousers
Formal trousers should have no turn-up ( cufflinks in American English), and should have one or two face folds for each leg. Braces ( suspenders in American English) should be used to prevent the waist from appearing under the vest. Belts should not be worn with morning clothes. The less common alternatives to striped pants are the houndstooth check, and the gray flannel trousers, among others.
Shirt
The white stiff collar is traditional, with a standard variation of plain cut-down since World War II; in this case a normal long tie is worn. Otherwise, the wing collar can be worn; the combination of long ties and wing collars is very dated, so it's paired with Ascot, although this has gained a negative connotation as a clothing rental company using pre-bound or incorrect patterns over the years that have caused the configuration to be seen as inferior or leased. Because of this Debrett, for example, considers Ascot and wing collars inappropriate for weddings or morning clothes.
If a t-shirt has a turn-down collar it usually has a sleeve with a double cuff tied with a cuff as standard. If the wing collar is worn it must be with a single cuff shirt as in the past a rigid fronts stiff shirt worn with a stiff stiff cuff as well as a stiff wing rigid collar, worn with cufflinks and buttons (basically the same as a full evening dress). Contemporary shirts often do not have a removable collar at all.
The most formal color for a shirt is white, but if a shirt is colored or striped worn, it should have a white-collar contrast (and possibly a cuff). The traditional formal colors are the Wedgwood blue, solid or thin vertical stripes.
Neck wear
Previously, gray or (if in the cemetery) black neck tie is mandatory. Now all colors are used; in many clubs and communities, club ties are accepted to differentiate members from guests at formal lunches and breakfasts. The original silver Macclesfield design (small check) is still used primarily with cravat, and is often called a wedding tie. The British etiquette authority, Debrett's, states that the [intelligent silk woven bond] is preferred over cravat.
A bow tie can be worn as an alternate tie. Given that a black butterfly tie is associated with a black tie and a white butterfly tie is associated with a white tie, it might make sense to consider other colors or tones.
Cravat is another alternative and can be tied in a formal knot (Ascot knot) secured with a pin cravat, or a slightly less formal ruched node resembling a four-in-hand tie. Cravat is no longer allowed to be used at Royal Enclosure at Royal Ascot, which has been set since 2012.
Footwear
Shoes should be made of plain plain black plain type of Oxford without brogue, but not the patent leather that is now supplied for formal evening wear. This is not ideal for wearing open strappy shoes, such as derby shoes (or bluchers in American English). In the Victorian and Edwardian era, button boots and Oxford boots are worn and these can be worn properly with this morning's dress. When used on horseback riding boots such as jodhpur shoes, George boots, and Chelsea boots are also welcome. Formerly often seen with morning dress, but now rarely used.
Accessories
Square pocket
The pocket should always be worn with morning clothes. They can be made of linen, cotton, or silk. While simple white square linens with rolled edges are classic, they may be solid or patterned and should always complement the tie.
In terms of ties and pocket boxes, it is considered very elegant to pair one accessory, made of silk, with another, made of non-lustrous material such as linen or cotton. This helps offset the potential for influence.
Despite a very common practice at weddings, many force authorities do not recommend matching square pockets for ties as they tend to look contrived, draw attention from the wearer's face, and display fashion uncertainty. Box pockets with solid colors should generally be paired with a patterned tie (and vice versa) and should not share the same base color. If the square pocket is patterned, it should also not fit the tie but complete it.
It may be panting or folded into folds of square style, single point, or multi-pointed. The soft pouch box works well with softer materials such as silk; other folds tend to retain their shape better when more structured materials such as linen are used.
Decoration
Wear decorations, orders, and medals unusual with morning clothes. Invitations will usually indicate whether or not they should be used and, in the Commonwealth and Nature of the Commonwealth, more common for religious services or public functions with official significance. Up to four stars, a badge of neck, and a full-size medal should be worn with morning clothes; when the badges of the neck and the stars are shared, they must have different orders.
Variant
The morning gray color
Slightly less formal, morning wear can be worn, which has a matching gray suit, vest, and gray pants (all cut the same as above); being more relaxed, this is a traditional choice for events in less formal settings such as Royal Ascot, and now often used for weddings as well.
Scottish Highland Dress
Scottish Highland dress can also be worn at events that require morning dress:
The morning dress versions of Highland dress consist of:
- Tweed, semi formal jacket skirt black or charcoal in prime or west wool; Argyll-, Crail-, and Braemar jackets fit
- Five or six-button chain vests in matching colors, gray, putty, or tartan
- Kilt
- A white shirt with lapel collar, French cufflinks, and cufflinks
- Bind in a single color or striped regiment style
- Black brogues (according to some views, brown shoes should not be worn in highland clothes, even if worn by nobles)
- Tartan, argyle, diced, or dark hose (white and white hose should not be used)
- Blinking or garter bonding
- Dress up sporran
- Sgian dubh dress
Events
Men wearing a morning dress when a member of a wedding party. It's the same with court suits, messy dresses, and white ties, morning dresses for prestigious and important social events. Regardless of its name, morning wear may be worn for a social evening before five o'clock, but not for an event that begins after seven o'clock; the term "morning" is best understood as "daylight".
A white tie is the official official outfit that is equivalent to a night social event. The front of the morning tail coat is different from the tail of the night's tail (the dress coat) in that the first waist is sloped sloping while the last waist is cut horizontally, and the tail is cut differently from the swallow tailcoat used for the evening gown. The construction of the waist skirt from the mantle is riding, to make it easier for the wearer to ride his horse. In the US, the morning coating is sometimes referred to as the cutaway jacket.
In the UK, morning dresses are used for certain riding events (such as Royal Ascot and The Derby). In Australia, morning dresses are traditional attire for those who attend Derby Victoria. It is also used in countries of the Commonwealth of Nations, such as Australia and New Zealand, by male members of weddings. Men at high end and upper class weddings usually wear their own morning coats and their own ties. On these occasions they may wear their old public school bond (US: private). It is sometimes worn by the British working class (constituting the majority of the population) only for weddings dressed in morning dress. These tend to be employed and much more coordinated than those worn by their peers from the upper and upper middle classes. Men are usually dressed in uniforms, hired, clothing together with identical ties, handkerchiefs and vests.
At the Commonwealth of Nations, traditionally black, or gray (less formal, but becoming more widely accepted), the top hat is considered an optional accessory for weddings. However, the hat remains compulsory at Royal Enclosure at Royal Ascot.
In Europe, the groom sets the tone of clothing: guests can wear morning clothes if he does. In the US, morning dresses are rare; usually worn in traditional marriages and official political events, although the inauguration of Kennedy in 1961 was the last use for the ceremony. In South America, morning dresses are usually worn by elected governors when inducted into office. United States General Officers and Representatives wore morning coats during oral arguments before the United States Supreme Court, as did Marshal and Court clerks during all court sessions, except for women.
In fiction or popular culture, it can be used to refer, perhaps satirically, to a rich ruling class, for example in cartoons.
