From chic three-pieces to effortlessly cool linen ensembles, there is so much to choose from if you’re looking for summer wedding suits. Whether you’re walking down the aisle or attending as a guest, you’ll want something that matches your style – and thankfully, modern suits come in all manner of cuts and colours.
Opting for suits that are specifically tailored for hot weather weddings will help to ensure comfort during the sun-soaked celebrations. So, what are the best choices for suits for sunny wedding days? “For fabrics, linen, linen and more linen,” recommends expert Luke Furnival from House of Cavani. “It’s proving really popular for us at the moment, especially with more and more couples going abroad for weddings.”
In terms of colour, Luke tells us: “Light tones, browns, beige, creams with a pop of colour through accessories/ties/pocket squares.” And if you want to go for something more dynamic, there are options in rust tones, greens and pinks, too. Blue is always a popular colour for weddings; dusty, pale and sky shades can create a really head turning look.
You can opt for something formal, or something that looks on-trend but more relaxed – ideal if you are considering destination wedding suits. Or why not adopt the second look vibe, with a separate outfit for the ceremony and something completely different for the evening party?
“Opting for a classic two-piece suit in a breathable fabric like linen or cotton is ideal for the daytime festivities,” say the experts at Peter Christian Gentlemen’s Outfitters. “As celebrations move indoors or into the cooler evening air, you can elevate your look by adding a fun waistcoat or alternatively, consider adding a statement tie or pocket square.”
