Whether you're hosting or attending a summer wedding, paying extra attention to your outfit is crucial! For men, suits are the go-to choice year-round, but for women, dresses dominate summer weddings.

However, wedding suits aren't just for men! Whether you don't feel comfortable in a dress or want to switch things up, a wedding suit works perfectly for anyone, regardless of your role in the wedding.

Yes, wearing a suit in the heat of summer might not sound like the coolest idea (temperature-wise, of course), but you can still have your power moment while staying comfortable.

If you're jetting off to a destination wedding or preparing for scorching July and August temperatures (if we're lucky), linen suits will be your saviour. But beyond linen, there are so many stylish options for summer wedding suits this season! From bright and bold colours to loose, oversized fits, and even ditching a blazer for a waistcoat. We've sorted your summer wedding attire, so you don’t have to!

The Best Summer Wedding Suits For Everyone on Your Guestlist

As you know by now, we’ve already given you the lowdown on the best summer bridesmaid dresses and summer wedding guest dresses. Now, it's time to find the perfect summer wedding suit for all your celebrations this season.

Whether you're the groom, bride, a member of the wedding party, or a wedding guest, the Rock My Wedding Editors have uncovered the best summer wedding suits to help you stay cool and look stylish on the big day!
 

Summer Wedding Suits for Men 

Whether you’re the main man, looking for the perfect groom-worthy summer wedding suit for your big day, one of the groomsmen or a wedding guest - we’ve found the best wedding suits for men so you don’t have to! If you’re hunting for the perfect summer wedding suit, generally speaking, light colours and like beiges, creams, blues and greys are almost the most popular! 

Why not play around with colourful shirt options - it’s summer, after all! Or better yet, you can’t go wrong with a crisp white shirt under a neutral summer wedding suit. If you want to ditch the suit jacket altogether (and the wedding dress code allows for less formal looks), that’s also a great way to keep cool! Otherwise, you’ll want to decide between a 3-piece suit, waistcoat inclusive (but definitely opt for a lightweight linen to ensure it’s summer-proof!) 

Summer Wedding Suits for the Groom

A groom getting married in the summer months? You’ll need to pay some extra attention to the sleek groom suit you choose to wear on your wedding day. It’s all about finding the perfect balance between complementing and coordinating with your groomsmen's suits. We love light-coloured groom suits like these styles from Suit Direct and Dobell for summer weddings. Light grey and blue are popular options, especially with a linen fabric. If you want to upscale the formality of your summer groom suit, you can always opt for a lightweight 3-piece style. 

Summer Wedding Suits for Groomsmen

Looking for the perfect summer groomsmen suits that keep your crew cool and stylish all day long? You’ve come to the right place. Neutral tones like beige, cream, and sand are ideal for summer weddings, seamlessly blending with any colour palette. Head to Moss and Suit Direct for these sharp, slim-fit suits that will have your groomsmen looking effortlessly suave!

Summer Wedding Suits for Male Guests 

When attending a summer wedding, male guests have more flexibility in their attire compared to the wedding party. While groomsmen often wear coordinated suits that match the wedding theme and colours, guests can opt for individual styles that still align with the event's dress code. Light and breathable fabrics like linen or cotton are ideal for staying comfortable in warm weather. Choosing neutral and pastel shades such as light grey, soft blue, or beige ensures you look stylish without overshadowing the groom. Brands like John Lewis and Ted Baker offer great options that balance sophistication and ease, perfect for a summer wedding.

Summer Wedding Suits for Women

Whether you're the bride, part of the bridal party, or a wedding guest, we've found the best summer wedding suits for women to keep you stylish and comfortable. Women attending summer weddings can also embrace the sophistication and style of a well-fitted suit. Perfect for those who prefer an alternative to dresses, summer wedding suits for women can be both chic and comfortable. Opt for light, breathable fabrics like linen or silk blends to stay cool and choose colours that complement the season, such as pastels, soft neutrals, or even bold hues for a standout look. Pair your suit with elegant accessories, like statement earrings or a stylish clutch, to elevate your ensemble.

Summer Wedding Suits for THE Bride

Summer wedding suits are a chic and contemporary alternative for brides looking to break away from traditional gowns. Opt for a tailored white or ivory suit for a classic and elegant look. Light fabrics like silk, satin, or linen blends will keep you cool and comfortable. Whether you choose a sleek pantsuit or a sophisticated jumpsuit, you'll make a stunning entrance. Head to Nobody’s Child and Jigsaw for these gorgeous bridal suits, ideal for summer weddings, from trendy, relaxed and oversized fits to more structured and tailored designs - it’s super easy to find a bridal suit you love! 

Summer Wedding Suits for Bridesmaids 

Bridesmaids can also embrace the trend of summer wedding suits for a fresh and modern look. Soft pastel suits in shades like blush, lavender, mint green, sky blue or even bolder hues like bright pink can complement the wedding theme beautifully. Lightweight fabrics such as chiffon, crepe, or linen blends ensure comfort throughout the day. Why not consider mismatched looks by opting for different styles, such as blazers with shorts, skirts or tailored pants, to give each bridesmaid a unique yet coordinated appearance? Add some sparkle with statement jewellery or colourful bridesmaid shoes to complete the ensemble, and you’re good to go!

Summer Wedding Suits for Female Guests 

For female guests attending summer weddings, choosing the right suit is all about combining elegance with comfort. Sage green is a standout colour trend this season, offering a sophisticated yet fresh look perfect for the warmer months. Opt for lightweight fabrics like linen, satin or cotton to stay cool and chic. Whether you opt for a tailored blazer and trousers or a stylish jumpsuit, ensure the fit is relaxed and breathable. Add minimal accessories and comfortable shoes to complete your ensemble, ensuring you look great while staying cool and composed throughout the event.

Unisex Summer Wedding Suits

Unisex summer wedding suits offer a refreshing alternative to traditional women's and men's suits, especially for those seeking a versatile fit. Unlike women’s suits, which often have a more tailored and form-fitting cut, unisex suits prioritize a balanced fit that accommodates a range of body types and styles. This means unisex options can be more inclusive, offering a relaxed yet polished silhouette that suits various preferences. The benefit of unisex suits is their adaptability; they can be easily styled to fit different body shapes and personal tastes without the need for extensive alterations. This inclusivity makes unisex suits a preferred choice for those who want to embrace a more fluid approach to wedding attire, ensuring everyone feels comfortable and stylish regardless of their traditional fit expectations.
