Short answer
Guests should wear whatever the stag do invitation specifies, such as a theme or a colour. If there is no dress code, choose smart casual or practical clothes for the activities, and always pack layers and comfortable shoes for moving between venues.
Start by checking the invitation or group chat for any dress code. Stag dos often have a theme, like a fancy dress idea, a sports kit or a colour, and guests are expected to join in. If there is no theme, smart casual is a safe choice: dark jeans or chinos with a shirt or polo works for most pubs, restaurants and bars. Think about the day's plan. If you are doing an activity like go-karting, paintball or a city tour, wear clothes you can move in and shoes that can handle walking. If you are going to a nice dinner or a club, you may need something smarter. Always bring a jacket or jumper, because evenings can get cold, and consider packing a spare shirt in case of spills or rain. The key is to be comfortable and ready for anything, while still looking put together. Avoid anything too flashy or restrictive unless the theme demands it. If you are unsure, ask the best man or the organiser what everyone else is wearing, and remember that the stag should be the centre of attention, not your outfit.
