Going to a beach wedding is cool, but the weather makes it hard to dress right. You want to look good for the family photos without getting way too hot during the vows. Wearing the wrong thing makes you feel tired and sweaty. Pick soft and thin fabrics instead. These suggestions help you stay cool while you look really nice for everyone.
Choose Lightweight Linen Fabrics
Linen is a go-to choice because it lets air flow right through so you do not get too hot standing in the sun. It does wrinkle easily but that is usually part of the relaxed beach look everyone expects anyway.
Stick To Lighter Colors
It is smart to wear light blue or tan clothes. Darker suits get very hot because they trap the sun. Light colors help you stay much cooler outside. These shades look very nice at the beach. You will feel fresh and comfortable in the warm weather.
Loafers Without Visible Socks
Leave the dressy lace shoes at home and grab some boat shoes. They are perfect for sand and easy to wear. Do not wear visible socks if you want to stay cool. The breeze feels great on your ankles. You will look good and stay very comfy.
A Crisp White Shirt
A white dress shirt is a smart pick for warm weather. The material is very thin so you do not feel trapped in the heat. It looks very nice with a tan outfit. This shirt hides moisture much better than a blue or black one.
Try A Seersucker Suit
This puckered fabric sits away from your skin which helps air circulate and keeps you feeling much cooler. It has a classic summer style that looks festive without trying too hard to be fancy.
Skip The Tight Tie
Most beach weddings are not formal so you can just skip the tie and be comfortable. You should unbutton your top collar to stay cool in the heat. If you really need a tie choose a soft one. It feels way less stiff than a regular one does.
Wear An Unstructured Jacket
Pick a coat that has almost no inside fabric because extra layers just make you sweat. This style is very thin and stays cool even in the sun. It feels light on your body. You will find it much easier to move and dance around later.
Consider A Guayabera Shirt
For more casual weddings this traditional shirt is designed to be worn untucked and often counts as formal wear in tropical climates. It has pockets and details that dress it up enough so you do not need a jacket at all.
Chinos Are A Safe Bet
If you are not wearing a full suit a pair of well-fitted chinos in beige or stone works great with a nice blazer. They are usually cotton and comfortable enough to walk in even if the ceremony is right on the sand.
