The Ultimate Bespoke Suit for A Summer Wedding


A Bespoke Guide to Staying Cool and Looking Sharp at a Summer Wedding

When the temperatures rise and the invitations start rolling in, dressing well for a summer wedding becomes a bit of a challenge. You need a bespoke summer suit that can help you look refined and respectful without overheating before the ceremony is over.

At Bhambi’s, we help clients find that perfect balance, with tailoring that keeps you cool while still turning heads. Whether you’re the groom, a groomsman, or a guest, here’s how to dress smart for a summer celebration, without sacrificing comfort or style. 

Choose Lightweight, Breathable Fabrics For Your Summer Suit

Fabric choice is everything when it comes to warm weather tailoring. The right material allows airflow, resists wrinkles, and helps you stay composed from ceremony to dance floor.

Here are some of Bhambi’s go-to summer fabrics:

  • Tropical Wool- This is a lightweight wool that’s both breathable and wrinkle-resistant. Therefore, it’s a perfect low-maintenance option for your summer wedding.

  • Linen- A classic for a reason. They are breathable, lightweight, and effortlessly relaxed. Yes, it wrinkles, but we believe that’s part of the charm. In fact, those wrinkles often add a certain character to your look. 

  • Wool, Silk & Linen Blend- The best of all worlds. These blends combine the breathability of linen, the softness and drape of wools, and the subtle sheen of silk. As a result, it’s lightweight yet polished, ideal for warm-weather weddings, whether in the city or by the sea.

Embrace Lighter Colors

Summer is the time to break away from dark charcoals and navy. Lighter hues feel seasonally appropriate and photograph beautifully in natural light. In addition, lighter tones deflect heat, making them both stylish and practical!

Go for lighter colors such as soft greys, light blues, sandy tans, light browns, or ivory and cream (especially for the groom). These versatile tones work beautifully for full suits or sport coats, and pair easily with a range of trousers, shirts, and accessories. 

Go for a Light Structure!

In hot weather, structure matters. Therefore, we recommend a light canvas jacket with a quarter lining. This keeps the structure sharp without weighing you down, offering better airflow. When paired with a breathable fabric, like wool, silk, and linen blend, you’ll stay comfortable from the ceremony to the last dance, even under the summer sun.

Final Thoughts: Be cool, Look Sharp  

A well-dressed man at a wedding isn’t the one sweating through his tux. Instead, it’s the one who understood the dress code, dressed for the weather, and looked great doing it.

If you’ve got a summer wedding on the calendar, whether you’re walking down the aisle or watching from the second row, we’d be happy to help you suit up in style.
