Formal Wear
By Col. Riaz Jafri (Retd.)
Westridge, Rawalpindi
On formal occasions coat buttons are to be buttoned up while standing or walking outdoors as well as indoors but can be undone while seating whether indoors or outdoors.
The protocol officer or the Military Secretary must ‘educate’ the uninitiated in such small matters of etiquette if the gentleman himself is unaware of it.
The best would be to appear on all such formal occasions in the national dress, that is, black sherwani during winter and the white in summer.
