What to wear to every type of wedding

What to wear to every type of wedding

You can almost guarantee that as spring begins, the wedding invitations will start coming in thick and fast. Figuring out what to wear can be overwhelming - especially when it comes to non-traditional celebrations. Whether you're heading out to the countryside or staying in the city, scroll down for our advice on how to look the part, whatever the style of the nuptials.

 

CITY WEDDING


When you're invited to attend a wedding in the city, you might as well face facts: you're going to have to pull out all the stops. Men should steer clear of anything that could also be worn to the office - a double-breasted suit with sharp lapels is perfect for a more formal ceremony. 

 

EVENING WEDDING


Since these type of affairs usually take place after 6pm, you'll need to dress party-appropriate. Sharp tailoring woven with a degree of stretch is a must for men, and for those who usually find themselves on the dancefloor, a white dress shirt disguises perspiration better than other colours. 

 

COUNTRY WEDDING


You can guess that at a country wedding there might be a fair amount of time spent in the open air, so footwear should be stylish but outdoor-appropriate. Men should opt for a fresh summer suit in a classic silhouette, in true gentlemanly fashion. 

 

BEACH WEDDING


Beach ceremonies are up there with the most difficult to dress for. Most guests struggle to find the right balance between over- and under-dressed. For men, temperature control is paramount, and the combination of a crisp white shirt and lightweight chinos creates a look that is refined enough for the occasion, yet appropriate for the location.
