Social norms are to follow the event\u2019s dress code and sport a look to impress. You don\u2019t want to be the person in the wedding photos that sticks out like a sore thumb and incites immediate frustration from the wedding party.\u00a0There\u2019s a standard formula and correlation of what guests should be wearing once you know the couple\u2019s expectation, the wedding venue and the time of the ceremony.\u00a0\u00a0Groomsmen, of course, should be prepared to adhere to the bridal party\u2019s dress and act accordingly with what the bride and groom are wearing.\u00a0Two important points to remember as you seek the right look for the wedding ceremony and the reception:\u00a0Tailored or form-fitting pieces are critical. Don\u2019t be tempted by baggy or loose attire.\u00a0Never forget about the shoes, which round out your appearance and show you\u2019ve got the slick wedding look down cold.\u00a0Here\u2019s how it breaks down and what wedding guests should look for when shopping:\u00a0Black-tie weddings\u00a0While it\u2019s not every guy\u2019s garment game, black-tie weddings are the easiest to dress for and offer no leeway with your fashion choices. These are the most elegant affairs and generally take place in late afternoon or evenings. The formal look demands a black tuxedo, a sharp white shirt and a black bow tie paired with a black vest and black leather shoes. Dress your best, and keep it simple yet sophisticated\u00a0Formal or black-tie optional weddings\u00a0These wedding dress codes can be a bit concerning as it is somewhat ambiguous on what to wear, but the best rule to follow is you don\u2019t want to be underdressed. It\u2019s better to go high-style and carry a crisp, modern look. Tuxedos or suits should be dark-hued and matched with a white, neutral or soft-colored dress shirt. Feel free to express some flair with a vest, tie or bow tie. There is a general guideline to go darker with your colors as the later the celebration starts. Shoes are wide open to individual preference as long they match the outfit.\u00a0Semi-formal weddings\u00a0Many summer weddings fall into this category as the seasonal vibe leans toward a more relaxed and comfortable clothing expectation. There tends to be a middle ground here where it\u2019s safe to dress down a touch, while it remains a bad idea to go completely casual. Plan to look as good or better than those around you. A conservative or dark suit and a solid tie is a classic, safe style that will work if the wedding you\u2019re attending is in a church or you\u2019re enjoying an outdoor venue. Black or tan shoes are the best option to accessorize the suit of your choice.\u00a0Casual wedding\u00a0Casual weddings are the most laid-back and open to interpretation, leaving the challenge of what\u2019s casual and what\u2019s smart to wear. Here are a couple of things not to do: Jeans or shorts. Those go too far toward casual. However, guests should feel free to dress down with khakis and a button-up dress shirt. You can opt for a polo-style short-sleeve and add a blazer if you\u2019d like. Your shoe selection can vary from standard dress shoes to loafers. Skip the urge to go in sandals or flip-flops.\u00a0The final word\u00a0Three bottom line moves when it comes to wedding wear:\u00a0Don\u2019t wait to find the right clothes.\u00a0Dress better than you think is necessary.Seek help if you need it.\u00a0For more advice and ideas, talk to your Libins fitting professional to create your best look.\u00a0"},{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Blog","item":"https:\/\/libinsstg.mlivehosted2.com\/blog\/#breadcrumbitem"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"How men should plan their spring and summer wedding wardrobe","item":"https:\/\/libinsstg.mlivehosted2.com\/blog\/how-men-should-plan-their-spring-and-summer-wedding-wardrobe\/#breadcrumbitem"}]}]
