"For men, it dictated dark suits with white shirts and long black ties," reads the publication. "Shoes, long socks, coats, and umbrellas were also specified to be black to mark the occasion."
In the case of women, they were advised to wear "long black dresses, black closed-toe shoes, gloves, and a veil." Melania and Jill Biden adhered strictly to these rules.
