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.
