Summer weddings are always a vibe—sunny skies, blooming flowers, and warm nights filled with dancing and celebration. But if you’re attending one, there’s one important question that always comes up: What do I wear? The perfect summer wedding guest outfit should strike a balance between style and comfort, because no one wants to be the one sweating through their suit jacket or fidgeting with a dress that’s too hot for the season. Whether the celebration is garden-chic, black-tie, or something in between, we’re here to help you look fabulous and stay cool.
Lean Into Light Fabrics And Breezy Silhouettes
Summer weddings call for fabrics that breathe. Think of cotton, chiffon, linen, and lightweight silk. These are materials that feel great against your skin and won’t trap heat. For women, flowy maxi dresses, midi-length wrap dresses, or jumpsuits are all great options. They’re elegant without being stuffy and move beautifully in the breeze. Men can opt for unlined suits made from linen or seersucker instead of heavier wool options. If the dress code allows, you can even ditch the jacket altogether and go with a dress shirt, suspenders, and slacks for a polished yet relaxed look. Add a tie if it’s more formal or go open collar for a laid-back vibe.
Don’t Be Afraid Of Color And Pattern
Summer is the season to have fun with fashion, so say yes to color! Florals, pastels, jewel tones, and even bold prints are totally fair game for summer wedding guest attire. Just make sure your outfit complements the tone of the event. Wedding venues where lush gardens and elegant backdrops are plentiful mean colorful and stylish outfits pop beautifully in photos while still feeling right at home.
Choose Stylish Shoes That Won’t Sink In The Grass
One thing to consider with summer weddings, especially those held outdoors, is the terrain. Stilettos and freshly watered lawns do not mix. Look for block heels, wedges, or dressy flats that give you style and stability. For guys, loafers or dress shoes in lighter shades like tan or gray can feel a bit more summer-appropriate than the traditional black. And if the ceremony is on grass or gravel, practical shoes will help you stay comfortable while walking around and posing for photos.
Top It Off With Season-Ready Accessories
Accessories are your secret weapon when it comes to pulling your look together while staying cool. Lightweight scarves, statement earrings, and wide-brimmed hats (if the dress code allows) can all add flair without adding bulk. Sunglasses are great for the ceremony but remember to take them off before photos. The ladies should also consider a small clutch or crossbody bag for carrying essentials like lip balm, blotting papers, and that all-important portable fan.
