Summer Wedding Survival Guide for Men

Summer, the most beautiful time to get married...but for the guest attending the wedding, it can be the hottest. Women have it easy,  by wearing their cute little summer dresses, they stay cool and fashionable all at the same time. A summer wedding, however, could pose a fashion challenge for men. How do you look sharp without sacrificing comfort? Here is the perfect Summer Wedding Survival Guide for Men...

1. Wearing a light weight suit is a MUST, regardless if the ceremony is in or outside. Suits come in a wide variety of weights for every season. If you dont want to be sweating bullets while waiting for the bride and groom to say "I do," invest in a summer-friendly suit. Linen is always a great choice.The material is light and breathable.

2. Choose a light color palette. Just like choosing a light weight suit, picking the color of your suit is very important as well. You want to choose colors that won't draw additional heat to the suit. Darker colors take in more light and more heat.

3. Keep it simple! Wear light accessories. A lot of men forget to adapt their accessories for the warmer season. For example, a silk tie could be subbed for a more microfiber one, which are lighter and have more movement to them. Men should also try to switch out leathers and metals. Instead of wearing a leather belt, try a canvas belt.
