WHAT TO WEAR TO A WEDDING?
The spring/summer season is the best time for wedding receptions, so if you've received an invitation to such a celebration and are still wondering about the perfect outfit... you're in the right place! Here's a guide to designs that will work no matter the dress code or location.
SUIT:
NOT ONLY FOR SPECIAL OCCASIONS
A blazer and colour-matched trousers are the basis of every wedding look. However, especially at this time of year, it is worth choosing designs in colours other than the classic black or the equally common navy blue.
How about the trend for green, for example? Its celadon shade can be found in Amiri's collection, Ami focuses on olive, and a more expressive, grassy version is presented by Jacquemus. Burgundy was chosen by Boots / wellies, while the timeless and reliable beige found favour at Gucci, Ferragamo and Emporio Armani.

THE SHIRT:
ON THE BUTTON
The ideal shirt for a wedding is one that both forms a harmonious duo with the suit and fits in with the dress code. We have selected five top designs for you, so that you can match your favourite design to the degree of formality of the party and your individual preferences.
If you are going to a cocktail party, the best option is a simple, minimalist cut. Such shirts have been a speciality of Saint Laurent and Jil Sander for years. For those already looking forward to a lavish outdoor party, we recommend Etro's floral and abstract print shirts, while Ami's multicoloured designs are ideal for men invited to an intimate dinner party.
ACCESSORIES:
DETAILS MATTER
From minimalist handbags, to ties and bow ties, to the equally essential belts. Accessories are the icing on the cake of any look, especially a wedding look. See which models to consider to make your outfit every bit as polished.
The most sophisticated handbags are those from Bottega Veneta, Versace or Gucci. They have such a versatile design that they will go well with any item of clothing. As for bow ties and ties – there are two options. Those who are going to opt for a classic white shirt can spice up the look with a patterned tie from Ferragamo, while eye-catching designs should be balanced with a black bow tie from Dolce & Gabbana. For a belt to go with your trousers, check out the collections from Saint Laurent and Fendi – we guarantee you will find the perfect one.
SHOES:
A FASHIONABLE STEP
No styling is complete without... stunning shoes! Choose from ultraminimalist styles and models with eye-catching detailing.
The former include this season's Saint Laurent, Gucci and Ferragamo loafers in particular. These designs have won the approval of the most stylish men around the world, so you can be sure you won't make a bad impression in them. However, if you are looking for something that will catch the eye, consider offers from the Versace, Burberry and Marni. Shoes in the iconic Barocco or crocodile leather, a large logo buckle detail or decorative tassels? The decision is yours.
