Wedding in a heatwave? How to stay cool but style accordingly for summer

London, United Kingdom - August 2022
There's nothing quite as sweet and romantic as a beautiful summer wedding, but with the season comes the overwhelming heat.

Don't let the hot temperatures get you flustered! We've compiled some tips to keep you cool yet stylish during the heat.

 

Light suiting

 

Battle the elements with a lightweight suit that is smart and stylish, yet suitable for the hot summer season. Ultimately, the choice of suit fabric is crucial when it comes to a summer wedding, it will dictate whether you're flustered and sweating or cool as a cucumber. The ideal summer suit should be breathable, yet still have a solid shape and high-quality construction. Opt for cooling fabrics including cotton, linen, lightweight wool, or wool that's blended with silk or linen. These fabrics are thin and breathable, offering greater comfort in the summer heat.

 

Light colours 

Another cooling tip is to opt for a light-coloured suit, light colours reflect heat which helps keep you cool, while dark colours absorb heat. Summer is the perfect time to play around with different colours that may be a little out of your comfort zone - try whites, light blue, light grey, bright blue or cream colours. 

 

Wardrobe choices 

 

Make sure you make the right wardrobe choice for the occasion. If the wedding style is more laid-back outdoor or beach wedding, a stylish short-sleeved button-down shirt will be your go-to, cool and comfortable, yet still maintaining a stylish formal look for the special event. 

 

Accessories 

 

A look is truly never complete without the right accessories. Complete your look with stylish summer accessories that are fashionable yet protect you from the heat, sunglasses and a stylish formal hat are a great way to execute your look. 

 

The perfect fit 

 

And last but certainly not least, ensure you have the perfect fit for your body type. We definitely don’t take this step for granted. An ill-fitting suit is uncomfortable on its own, add to that the heat and you'll be setting yourself up for a very irritating night ahead. 

 

Happy summer wedding season!
