It’s only natural to break into a sweat in the middle of summer, but the last thing you want in your wedding photos are signs of perspiration on you or your groom. While there are a number of steps a bride may take to prevent melting makeup or frizzing hair, selecting a season-appropriate tux will keep your groom looking suave under the early morning sun and in the heat of the night.
A Splash of Colour
Take the classic black tux to a new level by adding colourful vests, ties, pocket squares or even shoes. At Syd Silver Formalwear, summer accessories can be found in eye-popping limes, tans and magentas. If subtle pastel tones are your thing, light pinstripes are more popular than ever, and help add pizzazz to a traditional penguin suit. Either way, combining tuxes with colour adds a modern edge and lets your groom’s personality shine through.
Details, Details
Planning ahead for your big day is crucial, so don’t forget to take summer heat into consideration. Standing in the sun for hours in a black tux will have your groom sweltering! Keep in mind that jackets are available in browns (delicious espresso and latte tones), whites and modern silver-greys, all of which allow for accessorizing with other colours. Coordinate an organized and sleek look for the whole wedding party by picking an accessory colour for the groomsmen and using the same for the bridesmaids’ dresses.
Be Adventurous
Be Adventurous
Don’t be afraid to challenge the status quo! If marrying on a beach, linen pants and cotton shirts are super breathable (and they’ll have your man looking like a Greek god on the sand.) Or you could opt for a more casual look and let your hubby-to-be and his groomsmen relax in thong sandals; and if you want to take off some edge, give them high-top All Stars or Vans skater shoes.
Fabrics
Whether your ceremony will be in or out of doors, with steamy summer temperatures and the stress of the big day, your man is bound to break a sweat. To help keep him cool under pressure, choose a breathable fabric blend instead of a traditional 100 percent wool suit. And opt for European wools (which are extra lightweight), and jackets with side vents (that still have notch lapels for a sleek and cool look).
