Saying “I do” underneath a clear blue sky with sunshine is a dream for many couples. Summer weddings also seem to have a relaxed vibe surrounding them. As a groom, it’s the perfect opportunity to do something different with your attire. But how do you make sure you don’t go too wild with your wedding suit? In this article, we list a few points to help you put together a summer outfit that fits the occasion.
How does a summer groom suit look like?
The date has been set, invitations have been sent and the reception has been planned down to the smallest detail. Now all that’s left is your wedding suit. You can go for the classic black or dark blue groom’s suit, but that can be exhausting when you’re out in the blazing sun. That’s why most men opt for lighter colors, like white or beige. Additionally, a green suit is a trendy alternative. For an outdoor wedding, you can omit the blazer and get married in a stylish waistcoat with matching chino and shirt. Make sure you choose breathable fabrics such as cotton and linen. This will prevent heat stroke and sweat stains.
What goes well with a summer wedding suit?
Despite the relaxed atmosphere, you still want to dress up for the big day. A pristine necktie or bow tie elevates your outfit to a higher level of style. Try to coordinate color and texture for the right appearance. Pastel shades or faded colors will give your outfit a fresh look. Should you choose not to roll up your sleeves, cufflinks will give your wedding suit the sophistication to impress both your loved one and guests. You have the choice between classic or modern designs and various colors. Of course, we must not forget the shoes and the belt. These look best with your wedding suit when they are in the same color.
Before you say yes …
Despite the above, the most important advice is to be yourself. Nothing is more tiresome than hoisting yourself into a wedding suit you don’t feel comfortable in. Your guests will notice and you’ll see the awkwardness when you look at the photos afterwards. Whether you get together barefoot or in a colorful print suit, it’s your day, so make sure it’s a celebration that’s completely your own!
