My girlfriend and I were just invited to a summer wedding, and I`m at a loss for what to wear. What kind of dress is appropriate? The invitation says “summer formal”.
Fear not. You`ve got more options than you think. The two obvious choices are a khaki or linen suit. For the khaki suit, think of it as a summer tux. You want it to fit well, perhaps with peaked lapels, and pair it with a white shirt and dark tie.
For the linen, remember that linen can get wrinkled easily, so you don`t want excess fabric getting in the way. A casual, light colored shirt and loafers (sandals if you dare) will complete the look. If you sway towards the regular suit, light gray or navy blue (with a light shirt, of course) are equally acceptable.
