A wedding invitation just landed in your mailbox – exciting! But now comes the question:
👉 What should you wear to a wedding with a casual dress code?
You want to look sharp without being overdressed. Comfortable, but still refined. Here's exactly what works – including specific pieces, styling tips, and do’s & don’ts.
👔 1. Skip the classic suit (but still dress well)
A three-piece suit is too formal for a casual wedding. Opt for a smart casual look: neat, stylish, and without a tie.
What to wear instead:
-
A sophisticated polo with a premium finish – shop polos
-
A knitted shirt with an open collar – shop shirts
-
A stylish chino in beige, taupe, or navy – shop trousers
-
Clean leather sneakers or loafers
🎯 Style tip: Stick to neutral colours – white, navy, sand, olive – always appropriate.
🌡️ 2. Dress for the season
-
Summer wedding: Go for breezy fabrics like knitted cotton, light colours, no socks
-
Fall wedding: Try layers – a shirt with a fine vest or overshirt
-
Spring: A long-sleeved polo with chinos is a perfect combo
📏 3. Fit matters – always sharp, never sloppy
Casual doesn’t mean careless. Your outfit should still fit you well.
✔ Choose a slim or regular fit that flatters your shape
✔ Make sure your shirt stays tucked in
✔ Let your trousers fall just above the shoe
🧠 All Vercate pieces are designed with a timeless, slim silhouette – no trends, just style.
