What Scores High for Wedding Guest Outfits
✓ Dress-code compliance
The AI checks your outfit against the stated dress code. A floor-length gown scores higher for black-tie; a midi dress scores higher for cocktail. Misreading the code is the #1 score killer.
✓ Not-white, not-black-tie territory
The AI flags white, cream, ivory, and champagne as deductions for wedding guest context. Solid black is penalized for daytime weddings. Jewel tones and florals score highest.
✓ Polished accessories
A clutch or small structured bag, understated jewelry, and appropriate heels or dress flats round out the score. Overly casual bags or chunky day shoes pull the rating down.

Can I wear black to a wedding?
For evening or black-tie weddings, yes. For daytime or garden weddings, black typically scores 5–10 points lower. The AI prefers midnight navy or charcoal as evening alternatives that photograph better.
What score should I target for a formal wedding?
Aim for 80+. Well-fitted formalwear in appropriate colors with polished accessories consistently hits this range. Scores below 70 usually indicate a dress-code mismatch or overly casual elements.
