Warm weather weddings: what to wear to a destination wedding
What to wear to a warm weather wedding.
As the days get longer and the sun starts gracing us with its presence, it’s time to dig out the wedding invitations and get outfit planning. Whether you’re heading abroad or celebrating closer to home, you’ll want a destination wedding suit worth showing off.
Due to the balmier temperatures, your outfit needs to be well thought out so you’re not left sweating profusely through your shirt. Your standard wool or tweed suit won’t work here – instead, lighter fabrics and softer constructions are the way to go. Take a look below to see our picks for this year’s warm weather weddings.
Neutrals for sunny days
Light tones like camel and sand work really well for warmer weddings, especially if it’s an outdoor celebration. Cut to a slim fit with added stretch for ease of movement, our light camel suit will keep you comfortable well into the evening, when you can remove the double-breasted jacket and party on in your shirt (tie optional). Pair with a lightweight shoe such as our Lewisham loafer, and hold the socks for a beachy feel.
Italian excellence
If you really want to make an impression, an Italian suit is the way to go. Our copper herringbone is cut from a lightweight linen, wool and silk blend from Italian fabric specialists Zegna. The silk adds a softer handfeel and a beautiful drape, while the herringbone adds an interesting texture that'll help you stand out from the crowd (not enough to upstage the groom, of course). Pair with a tonal tie and a lightweight linen shirt for extra comfort.
Lightweight linens
You can't go wrong with linen in the summer months. Lightweight and breathable, it's a fabric that does particularly well in heat, keeping you cool due to its moisture wicking properties. If you’re after a bit of texture, our linen suits feature a classic cross hatch pattern, adding a subtle bit of character. Cut to a tailored fit, they're slightly looser than a slim fit (adding an extra level of ease) but will still have you looking put together and ready for a full day’s worth of celebrations.
