In summer, the days are longer, cooler and invite you to celebrate a large number of outdoor events, being this time of the year, the most common to celebrate weddings. However, they are not the ideal time to wear a suit, as long as you do not take into account the considerations that we talk about in this article.
If you are the star of your wedding, or you are scheduled for a summer wedding, and you want to not be just one of the many guests who will come with the freshest clothes possible, in this article we will show you all the aspects that you must take into account to choosing a wedding suit for men in summer
What should we consider
wedding suits for men they usually use the same structure as business suits. But, when looking for a suit for the summer, we must choose an option that helps us to be away from the heat, the humidity and, as far as possible, to be as comfortable as possible.
Unstructured suits don't fit the body to the millimeter, which Allows air to circulate through without interior and thus keep the body temperature lower to reduce the possibility of sweating.
What fabrics are the best for a suit in summer
One of the most important aspects when choosing a wedding suit suitable for the summer weather it's the fabric. Most of the suits are made of wool, one of the worst materials for summer.
La lana it is the first material that we must quickly discard as the only type of fabric in a suit for the summer. In addition, we must try to reduce, as far as possible, the weight of the set.
Suits made with light wool They will keep us cool, especially if we do not choose to use a lining in the jacket to promote ventilation.
The lighter the wool and the lining is dispensed with, the lighter the suit and therefore it will be cooler.
Another interesting option to take into account when choosing a suit for the summer is to opt for the linen, a very breathable fabric that perfectly absorbs moisture. If you have a budget, you can opt for a suit that combine silk and linen, an ideal option for very hot climates where humidity is the order of the day.
Although the cotton it is not as absorbent as linen, it is usually used in summer because it is light, airy and absorbent. It is ideal for climates that are not very humid, they are affordable, resistant and dry very quickly.
Finally, the other material that we can use in a suit for weddings in summer is seersucker. The seersucker is a fabric made of cotton and a linen blend that offers us the same advantages as both materials independently. It is very fresh, hardly wrinkles and washes very easily.
It goes without saying that the polyester It is the first type of fabric that we have eliminated from the equation. First because they look very cheap. Second, because they do not allow the body to perspire as it is a material derived from plastic. Third, by not allowing perspiration, they begin to smell after a few hours.
Types of outfits for summer
Most suits in the industry are known as single breasted suits. These can be two-piece or three-piece (where there is a vest or waistcoat underneath).
you might think of automatically discard the vest to reduce heatIt is, however, a very popular look at weddings, especially since you can stay formal at the reception even without the jacket as long as you wear a lapel vest.
A single-breasted three-piece suit has an air of charm missing from a two-piece look and, unless carefully chosen, can look too businesslike for a beach wedding. Also, a three-piece suit, made of cool fabrics, is not necessarily hotter than a two-piece.
More formal weddings are one of the few places where to wear a tuxedo. Tuxedos, also called penguin suits because of their classic black and white colors, are too formal, so they're not suitable for all weddings, let alone summer ones.
Colors for suits for a summer wedding
Summer has always been associated with light colored clothing, mainly so as not to concentrate heat through dark colors. If you are fair-skinned, you probably feel out of your comfort zone, and a white suit will not exactly look good on you.
Summer celebrations, especially weddings, are ideal for wearing any kind of light colors, being the azul a safe bet anywhere. If the wedding is celebrated on the beach, the color light green, pink o purple They are ideal.
For events that are celebrated when the sun has begun to go down, we can use colors such as Red o yellow, colors that during the day can be too flashy and detract from the bride and groom.
If you are a classic and you don't have a big budget, the gray, soft blue or charcoal colors They are ideal for any type of summer wedding, along with mid-tone browns.
As far as possible, and if your economy allows it, avoid black suits at all costs, since it is the most recurrent and used color, especially by the couple's parents and older people.
Accessories for a wedding suit in summer
All the ties are often too formal, as well as hot, for a daytime summer wedding, but this depends a bit on the dress code established by the bride and groom.
The groom will need a seasonal tie to finish the look, unless you're wearing suspenders, a cummerbund, or a vest with a lapel.
All the bow ties they are always an interesting alternative, especially for the bridal party. As a guest, if you're going to wear a tie or bow tie, pink, mint, and other light summer colors are always fabulous.
