How can a guest ask about a wedding dress code without embarrassing the hosts?

Direct answer
Ask the hosts privately for a practical example of suitable clothing, without asking them to judge your budget or wardrobe.
A simple question such as whether a kurta and waistcoat are appropriate is more useful than debating an ambiguous label. Mention any access, coverage or footwear need that affects your choice. Hosts can answer with a range of acceptable options rather than a brand or price. Clarifying the request early avoids embarrassment and should not become pressure to buy clothing the guest cannot comfortably afford.
