A traditional Morning Suit consists of a black or grey tailcoat worn with striped (for the black) or matching plain (for the grey) trousers. A waistcoat should be worn over a plain white shirt. In most cases either a tie or a cravat is acceptable, although a cravat is best worn with a wing collar on the shirt.

Morning Dress Etiquette:
Morning dress is for prestigious and important social occasions . Despite its name, morning dress may be worn to afternoon social events before five o'clock, but not to events beginning after seven o'clock in the evening.
The Morning coat is usually black, and the skirt of knee length. The formal trousers worn with it are grey striped. For less formal ceremonial occasions such as weddings a lighter coloured morning coat, a non-matching lighter coloured waistcoat and grey striped trousers are worn. Light grey coats are especially popular on the Thursday of the Royal Ascot race meeting. Traditionally, only the groom and bride's father are allowed to wear a grey morning coat to a wedding and all other guest wear black morning coats, though it is rare to see this rule enforced today.
The most traditional colours for a waistcoat are grey or buff (a yellowish tan colour), with white as another alternative. A black morning coat with matching black waistcoat is the most formal option, being worn for funerals, memorial services, diplomatic dress, and with academic regalia.
The trousers should not have turn-ups (cuffs), and should have one pleat to each leg.
A white stiff collar is worn, normally of the plain turn-down variety in which case a standard long tie is worn. Apart from at weddings, in most situations a long tie and turn-down collar have become more standard. With a cravat a winged collar is worn. If the shirt has turn-down collars it should have sleeves with double cuffs fastened with cufflinks. If a winged collar shirt is worn it should be with a single cuff fastened with cufflinks, with detachable collar and cuffs being the more strictly traditional option. The most formal colour for a shirt is white, but if a coloured or striped shirt is worn, it should have contrasting white collar and cuffs.
Previously, a grey or (if at a funeral) a black tie was obligatory. Now all colours are worn.
Shoes should be of the traditional, black plain captoe Oxford type without brogueing, but not patent leather which is reserved for evening formal wear. When worn at equestrian events, boots of equestrian origin such as jodhpur boots and Chelsea boots are also acceptable.
