Did you receive an invitation to a wedding or christening in the winter? With these pieces, you will have the best outfits for the occasion.
We spent more than two years under the veil of the pandemic and the coronavirus, where both weddings and baptisms were prohibited. This resulted in countless weddings and christenings last summer, breaking all previous records. In any case, choosing a formal outfit for the occasion was not that difficult during the Summer season as we are all used to similar invitations. Although the ceremonies do not stop during the Winter and there are more than ever this year. The difficulty lies in choosing an outfit that will be suitable for the occasion but will also keep us warm, especially when the temperature is low.
If you are invited to a winter wedding or christening, it is important to read the invitation carefully. The couple spends a lot of time and money to choose the ideal font and the right paper but hardly anyone pays attention. You should check the invitation before choosing an outfit. First, check if there is a dress code. If it says black tie, then you can't avoid tuxedo. If it says formal, then you should choose a classic suit. If it says semi-formal, then you have more options.
Note the date and time of the ceremony so you can check the weather as the wedding approaches.
If you can't afford a new suit, choose the most classic one you already have and try to invest in your shoes and accessories. You can highlight your suit with your tie, cufflinks, pocket square, or scarf.
In case you are the best man or godfather, you must be better dressed than the rest of the guests. You will take countless photos, so you shouldn't make mistakes in your outfit. It is better to choose something classic and stay away from trends since your photo will be in the frame for many years.
If you are in the close family circle of the couple or parents, try to wear a different suit color than the groom or the father as you will be sitting at the same table. Choose a turtleneck instead of a shirt, so that you stand out and have the comfort to dance at the party.
Is the dress code black tie or formal? Then you don't have many options. The black tuxedo is a must.
If the dress code is semi-formal, then the suit is mandatory. You can choose a different color or combine the suit with knitwear or a long-sleeved blouse.
Is the wedding or christening taking place in the morning? Then you have to be formal but not overly. It's still daytime. The fabrics and the diligence you will show in your appearance will make the difference. Don't be afraid to wear a blazer instead of a suit and play with patterns.
