I an lost with what to wear to my wedding. It is a summertime lakehouse venue and I am thinking 100 different things.
Half of me wants to stand out that bit extra and get a dinner jacket/tux. Or else a three piece mismatched set, like matching waistcoat and pants with a different colour jacket.
The other half wants simplicity with a two piece and suspenders.
I like three pieces because they keep you looking together throughout a long day and night.
I am mostly against check patterns and am leaning toward greens like sage or emerald with cream but open to options. Happy with earth tones or natural colours.
What time is the bulk of the wedding/event? Tux/dinner jacket should really only be worn in the evening and will look a bit out of place in daylight along with being pretty hot and sweat-trapping due to the denser material and generally dark colors.
I think the linen 3-piece suit is a great suggestion, but if you’re worried about wrinkles then a light-weight wool or wool-silk blend will also look great in summer and keep you cooler. For color, lighter colors are a bit less formal but more summery and feel cooler so maybe tan, khaki, or light warm-toned gray? And a matched 3-piece would bring the formality right back up.
