Summer is the season known for sunny days, beautiful blooms, and, of course, weddings. If you have been invited to a summer wedding, you might be contemplating what to wear. Well, no worries, we have got you covered. Let's talk about the perfect summer wedding attire for men so you can dress to impress while staying cool under the sun.
Summer Suiting
The ideal choice for any wedding is a suit. However, heavy wool suits are not a friend in the scorching heat of summer. For this reason, we recommend breathable fabrics like linen, cotton, or lightweight wool to keep you cool. The fabrics are natural, moisture-absorbing and perfect for outdoor settings.
Linen Suits
Linen is the superstar of summer fabrics. Being lightweight and breathable, it allows the air to flow through, keeping you cool. However, it does wrinkles easily, which can give a laid-back vibe. Linen suits in light colors like beige, cream, and light gray are optimal for summer weddings.
Cotton Suits
Another fantastic option for a summer wedding suit is cotton. It's breathable, comfortable, and retains its shape better than linen, leading to a more formal look. Seersucker, a thin, puckered cotton fabric, is another excellent choice for summer suiting. The distinctive stripes of a Seersucker suit will undoubtedly make you stand out in a crowd.
Lightweight Wool Suits
If you're looking for a balance between formality and comfort, then a lightweight wool suit could be your ideal choice. Even in summer, a well-tailored wool suit in lighter shades can be comfortable and will definitely uphold the sophistication required for a wedding.
Trendy Attire Options
Summer also means that you can embrace colors and patterns. Bright and pastel colors suit the lively atmosphere of a summer wedding perfectly. Don't shy away from patterned shirts or ties either. Combine with plain suits to create a charming and stylish ensemble.
Dress Shirt, Tie, and Accessories
The right shirt and tie combination can amplify your suit game to another level. Cotton shirts in light colors are the best companions of your summer suit. If the wedding isn't a black-tie event, you can also experiment with subtle patterns or pastel shades for your tie.
Jewelry
When it comes to men's wedding attire, less is always more. Simple cufflinks or a classic watch can add a finishing touch to your look. If you want a little more flair, consider a tie clip or a lapel pin.
Shoes and Socks
Finally, let's not forget about the shoes and socks. Make sure your shoes are clean and polished. As for the socks, stick to the rule: match them with the color of your suit. Or you can play around and make a statement with a funky, colorful pair—just make sure it's appropriate for the occasion.
With these tips, you're sure to make a stylish and sophisticated impression at any summer wedding, all while staying cool. Happy summer and happy wedding season!
