Guys Guide: Casual Wedding Outfits For Men
Weddings should be a joyous occasion, but deciding what to wear can be a daunting task. While some dress codes are rather clear (black tie = tuxedo, formal = suit, and so on), others can feel pretty overwhelming. After all, the last thing you want to do is show up to someone’s big day underdressed.
When it comes to celebrations that have a casual dress code, we’ve found that most men have no idea what to wear. But don’t worry, we’ve got you. Whether it’s a backyard party or nuptials by the beach, this guide will help you explore options to dressing appropriately, looking good, and feeling comfortable.
What Is Our Definition Of Casual?
A casual dress code is all about finding the right balance of comfort and style without going over the top. While we don’t recommend wearing a full suit and tie the way you would to a more formal event, we also don’t recommend wearing sweats the way you would when lounging at home. Even though the dress code is casual, it’s still someone’s wedding - so putting together a presentable look is imperative but comfort is also key.
We’ve put together some of our favorite casual wedding attire picks that can fit into your wardrobe in no time!
What To Wear To Different Types Of Casual Weddings
Backyard Wedding
Backyard weddings are rapidly growing in popularity when it comes to their sentimental value. Here is what we suggest you wear for your next backyard wedding.
Our MadeFlex Polos, Journey Shirts, and Performance Pants are made with Built-In Stretch, Moisture Wicking, and UPF technology keeping you cool and comfortable. The built in stretch is very important if you are going to be moving around, moisture wicking to keep you cool and dry so no sweat spots show through making you look bad in family pictures, and UPF protection to keep you from getting burnt being out in the sun all day.
Beach Wedding
When it comes to beach weddings, wearing light colors such as blue and white are very important due to those colors looking timeless and elegant that tends to give a classical feel when pictures are being taken (smile! you're on camera).
A great example is the Avalon Garment-Dyed Linen Shirt. It's lightweight, super soft , and provides an exceptionally comfortable feel for any occasion. To match with the shirt, you can't go wrong with some Flag & Anthem performance pants. You also can’t go wrong with some shorts, depending on how the weather looks for the wedding.
We would recommend pants if it is windy out, but shorts if it's very humid and hot. Made from a lightweight and breathable fabric with built-in stretch for maximum mobility plus permanent UPF protection from the sun, these pants and shorts are a must have if you want to be comfortable during the wedding. If you aren’t feeling the performance vibe, change your look with non performance pants/shorts like the Catskill. They are super soft, lightweight, and stretchy ensuring all day comfort. They are an endlessly versatile staple for any warm-weather look.
