Guide to Perfect Summer Wedding Suits for Men! 

Unlike winter weddings, summer weddings are quite tricky for the groom. In the winter, they can add as many layers as possible and decorate the attire for the grand occasion. On the contrary, summer wedding attire is usually less layered. And decorating them is more challenging and confusing. 

Take it easy. For the reason that expert designers and tailors like Bucco are well-versed in choosing the right fabrics for the right season and also ace the style of your wedding attire, these challenges are easy peasy for them. Here is a ‘summer wedding suit’ buying guide for confused grooms out there!

General tips for fabric and color selection in a summer wedding

A couple of tips to help you choose the right fabric and color for your wedding this summer in 2023:

  • Consider sourcing wool or linen-blend fabrics, as they greatly absorb moisture and give a premium look to the attire. 
  • If you can source 100% organic cotton material, there you go! Beyond thoughts, just buy the fabric. They are absolutely breathable and keep you ventilated and fresh throughout the day. 
  • As you all know, the darker the color, the more it absorbs heat from the sun. So try sticking to light shades of colors (light gray, light pink, cream, etc.). 
  • Strictly, do not choose bright colors like maroon, burgundy, or black.

Wait, are you thinking about the layers on your suit? We know how it feels jam-packed and stuffy when you put yourself in a three-piece double-breasted suit. Definitely, that’s not the right choice for a summer wedding! Here is a pro tip: If your wedding falls on a summer evening, you can choose to wear a three-piece suit or tuxedo. With fewer layers, like in two-piece suits, you can choose to wear them for daytime events or ceremonies.

Formal wedding suit suggestions for this summer

A subtly stylish yet professional suit style— A suit in cloud or coin gray shades with a single breast and notch lapel. The perfect dress shirt is nothing but a white button-down shirt. You can match this with a white-based formal shoe. The trousers are slightly slim-fitted and not pleated. Now, you’ve got the perfect formal wedding attire! 

Another elegant formal suit is a three-piece in a light tan and herringbone pattern. Wear this with a white shirt, a light brown tie, and black shoes.    

Other formal combinations include a dark blue suit with a light blue shirt, a medium gray suit with a white shirt, and an ivory or cream suit with a white shirt.
