What should men wear for a summer wedding?
bandhgalas are not really suited for the warm weather. The answer lies in opting for suit materials that are breezy and lightweight, like cotton and linen, and staying away from jackets and blazers with inner linings. You can also try moving away from traditional colours like red and black, and opt for summer-friendly shades such as powder blue, pale pink, olive or sage green.
As designer Masumi Mewawalla says, "Fabrics like linen, cotton, muslin with minimal tone on tone texturing could be great choices for summer season. And go for jackets and bandhgalas with no lining that makes the garment lightweight and breathable." Agrees Alka Nishar, founder at multi-designer store Aza Fashions, who roots for fabrics like cotton and linen during summer season. "These materials allow air circulation and help you stay cool even in hot weather.
Instead of heavy suits, consider wearing lightweight suits or kurta sets. They are comfortable, versatile, and can be tailored to fit you perfectly," she says. In case you are wearing a traditional attire like kurtas or sherwanis, she suggests considering shorter hemlines to avoid excess fabric.
"Minimalistic embroidery or texture on simple, unlayered silhouettes can add an extra touch of sophistication," suggests designer Kunal Anil Tanna. For the wedding attendees, if the suit turns out to be a tad stiff and the function's dress code reads, “casual" or “semi-formal", they can easily ditch the suit and slip into a pair of chinos and a floral printed shirt. You can elevate the look by wearing a pair of dress shoes, sleek aviator sunglasses, a classic watch and a slim leather belt.
