Summer Party Attire
The mercury is rising and the fashion trends are changing this summer. Here are some tips on choosing summer party dresses for women and the right summer party attire for men.
- This summer, it's time to ditch the heavy fabrics that weigh you down for a formal event. If you are attending a morning event such as a garden party, opt for linen pants or cotton pants, paired with a light, solid-colored, button-down shirt. Depending on the formality of the event, t-shirts paired with flat fronted chinos are also a great option.
- Choose from long-sleeved lightweight shirts, rather than the short ones. Long sleeves can be rolled up for a more informal and youthful look, and rolled down when you need a more formal look. They give you more variety than the short-sleeved shirts.
- Printed shirts are not for everyone, though they look great on certain occasions. So if you are unsure about it, your safest bet is a solid-colored shirt available in different summer colors.
- Accessorize with hats, and with scarves such as the Arab men's neck scarves when you are dressed for a semi-formal event. Paired with your overall outfit, it gives the right blend of formality and informality. For shoes, try out laced shoes this summer and leave the flip-flops for the beach.
- For a summer wedding, depending on the time of the day, opt for a linen suit rather than a heavy silk suit. It looks formal, elegant, and is still summery. Choose from morning colors like beige or a light blue. Keep the inner wear to a lightweight white cuffed shirt. If you don't wish to wear a tie, opt for a silk neck scarf that will complement your overall outfit. Keep the shoes formal by choosing to wear shining, leather shoes. If it is an evening wedding, keep the fabrics similar, and go for darker colors such as a dark blue or a dark green. Even burgundy suits are very trendy for men. These suits can be paired up with lighter-colored variants of shirts of the original suit colors.
- For a more formal evening event, a suit is your best bet. As far as possible, keep the suit light, and stick to the traditional colors if you are unsure about the kind of event it is. As mentioned before, switch the tie for a trendy neck scarf if possible; it looks as classy.
