Top 5 Suit Colors for Summer Weddings

Choosing the right wedding suit color is crucial to ensuring you’re presentable and convey the right emotions and expressions. Because colors have the power to influence our mood and have a lot to do with how we talk, react, and behave at the wedding. That’s why fashion experts are releasing color palettes for every other season. Here are some of the expert-curated summer wedding suit colors that are ideal for this warm season. 

Summer-specific wedding suit colors
1. Soothing choices

These are light, calm, and suitable wedding suit colors for summer and are better when made of cotton, linen, or silk blends, which ensures breathability and less heat absorption.    

  1. Sky blue: A perfect choice of color for a beach destination wedding with an offwhite or white dress shirt combination.  
  2. Light tan: These are mostly light brown suits that are ideal for both indoor and outdoor weddings in summer. 
  3. Beige or ivory: This is another light, subtle wedding suit color that can be paired with a slightly dark-hued dress shirt or waistcoat.  

2. Bold choices

Unlike the previous choice, these are not regular hues that most men prefer for weddings. Instead, these are bold hues yet keeping them lighter and smarter for a hot season without compromising on the basic features like heat resistance and ventilation.  

  1. Light green: A unique hue that resembles a newly grown leaf—best for outdoor venues. 
  2. Mint: This is another shade from the green family, but gives a more refreshing look when tailored in the right measurements.  
  3. Coral orange or terra cotta: One of the exceptional hues that might look warm but is not. It keeps you attractive. When paired with beige dress shirts, they give the best wedding look. 
  4. Mauve: It’s a light lavender shade that looks contemporary, elegant, and cool for the hot days. 
  5. Pastel pink: Who said pink is only for women? Lately, a lot of men seem to flaunt their pastel pink suits and are happy about the way they present themselves in pink.

3. Neutral choices

White wedding suits can be considered neutral as they’re subtle, not bold, yet appropriate for a summer wedding. However, wearing the right dress shirt and the choice of accessories is important to make your solid white suit look different and attractive. 

Neutral wedding suit colors for all seasons

If you’re someone looking to not explore or try new shades for your summer wedding this year, it is always a safe bet to choose the most neutral suit colors that are a part of every season’s color palette. Hues like light gray, brown, and navy blue are 100% neutral, smart, and perfect for any wedding season, including summer. 

Strictly ‘no’

Of course, black is a timeless and classic wedding suit color. However, unless the wedding demands it, don’t go for it. In other words, if you’re planning for the most formal wedding event, then count on black. Otherwise, go with light shades as much as possible to keep you cool, calm, and emotionally stable. In the case of indoor weddings with complete air-conditioning, black can be a good choice provided the indoor theme or decorations are lighter florals to contrast with the black suit.

Love you today. Love you tomorrow. Love you forever.

Not just breathability, weight also matters

#TeachingsTuesdays

The weight of the fabric plays a pivotal role in making the wearer comfortable in summer. It’s the natural weight and also the simplicity of the weaves that contribute to the fabric’s weight. The simpler and lighter the fabric is, the more suitable it is for summer. For example, fabrics weighing very light (4–6 oz) or regular light (6–8 oz) are suitable as they provide maximum air circulation and ease of wearing.

Of course, wearing solid-hued blazers can be boring. Moreover, reducing the number of layers to beat the heat in summer is another opportunity lost to dress up in a unique style. Still and all, you can get that distinguished smart casual look just by replacing the solid blazers with tweed herringbone sports blazers. The texture of the woolen fabric and the herringbone pattern on the blazers make it unique, giving a fresh look after seeing the simple, solid blazers every other summer day.

How about creases on linen suits?

#TeachingsTuesdays

Honestly, not all men prefer creases. While some consider it a unique element to make their linen suit or shirt stand out, others feel it is casual and end up ironing or steaming for a perfect professional and formal look. How about you?  

In a nutshell, cherish the natural creases if you’re looking for a relaxed look. Otherwise, iron them for a sharp and crisp look.
