You’ve been RSVP’ing “Yes” to spring weddings since there was snow on the ground. And now? The panic over what to actually wear is setting in.
While visions of black tie wedding guest attire with midnight blue tuxedos and perfectly pressed pocket squares may be dancing in your head, I’ll bet your more typical dress code for the season’s celebrations leans more easy breezy.
Think: garden wedding cocktail attire for events that take place outdoors in the daytime.
What does this mean for discerning wedding guests like yourself who want to dress their best?
Spring wedding outfits that lean into comfort with lightweight fabrics and bright colors or soft pastels that embrace the season.
That’s where this #SGapproved style guide to navigating the big day comes in.
Below, shop 5 outfits perfect for men’s spring wedding attire, whether you’re the groom or a guest:
1. Think outside the standard suit box
If you can’t stand the idea of pulling on a standard-issue suit, this could be the perfect look. Wear it to a wedding at a winery, botanical garden, or nuptials held in the the happy couple’s backyard.
Because a more casual wedding venue calls for a more casual suit.
This set from Kestin mixes things up just enough to feel exciting. The blazer-slash-chore coat is fun and cool, with pants boasting an elasticated waistband and external drawstring (but also belt loops and faux fly stitching).
2. Stand out in a sweater polo
You don’t necessarily need to wear a suit to look put together and stylish. Look to the happy couple and wedding party for clues on how outside the box you can go with your ‘fit.
A knit polo and trendy fisherman sandals could be the exact right move for a destination beach wedding in the sand.
3. Opt for all-over earth tones
This Abercrombie & Fitch suit might just be your spring wedding workhorse, as neutral shades offer an easy base to build on.
Want to wear a knit polo with your suit to keep things more loose? Go for it.
Or opt for an Oxford shirt sans tie to dress things up, just a little.
You could also throw on a proper dress shirt and tie situation that will take you from a fancier cocktail hour to the after (after) party.
4. Embrace the spirit of men’s spring wedding attire with a colorful suit
A suit in a colorful spring shade offers the perfect cover (literally and figuratively) to have some stylish fun with your outfit.
Add in a camp shirt or even shoes in a floral pattern to ratchet up the spring vibes even further.
