What to wear at weddings? Whether you are a guest, a groomsman or the lucky groom, this question promptly arises at this time of the year. Not sure where to start? Breathe and calm down: here are some tips for perfect and effortlessly stylish looks.
First of all, you need to know some information about the upcoming wedding: Will it be a morning ceremony? Or it will start during the afternoon and go on during the night? Is there a specific theme? Now let’s get started!
1. Seaside Wedding
For a ceremony on the beach you can choose a casual outfit, to feel comfortable and enjoy the environment. You can opt for a cool navy linen jacket, white shirt and light colored chinos.
To add a distinctive touch, I recommend you add a bow tie or a pastel colored tie and beige leather shoes. You can design your wedding shoes at Hockerty.
2. Countryside Wedding
To adopt a classic charm, choose a tailored-fit grey wool suit and wear it with a plaid shirt, maroon tie and brown shoes. Thanks to these colors and fabrics, success is guaranteed.
3. Formal Evening Ceremony
For an evening wedding, a true gentleman should always wear a tuxedo or a dark and elegant suit (black, midnight blue or charcoal) matched with a white or light blue shirt with cufflinks, a tie or a bow tie.
It is very important to choose the look that best suits your style: pay attention to the cut, the fabric and the small details that will give a classy touch to your suit.
Here are two combinations that guarantee a perfect night outfit:
A. A black tuxedo with a white shirt and a black bow tie is a safe bet to appear flawless in a special day, even if you are not the lucky man getting hitched.
B. A two piece suit is the classic that never goes out of fashion and another option if a formal dress code is required. In that case you can wear a midnight blue two piece suit of superior quality wool and combine it with a 100% cotton light blue shirt, maroon tie and brown leather shoes. Finally, do not forget a pocket square: this accessory is a must-have for all ceremonies: a cheerful attitude and your modern gentleman’s manners will make a special day unforgettable.
