Attending Summer Events? Here Are 5 Tips to Dress Formally, But Comfortably in Summer

Suits and ties are the first options that cross the mind at the mention of an event. But, what if the occasion comes up in the summer, where coats and ties plus the sweltering summer sun won’t let someone enjoy the beauty of the day? This article has the golden summer formal fashion tips to help everyone remain elegant, comfortable, and professional despite the scorching heat. 

Forget the Suit at Home

Dressing in layers is an excellent way to balance the cool temperatures inside the air-conditioned offices and the humidity outside. But what if someone is attending an entire event under the scorching summer sun? A suit will be more of a burden than stylish.

In this case, consider dressing in single layers. However, it’s essential to be strategic when picking the cloth to wear. Dress collar shirts with bold colors are the best bet for the uncomfortable heat outside. For more comfort, a short-sleeved dress shirt will feel better. 

For the girls, short dresses and miniskirts are a good deal. However, that doesn’t mean long dresses and skirts aren’t fashionable, especially for those who don’t like the short ones. While keeping it short is comfortable, shorts aren’t appropriate for formal events.

Though the weather may be nice for stepping out in sandals, these pieces aren’t the best fit for a formal look. Thus, closed shoes for the boys and men will be more appropriate. For the girls and women, consider heels or open-toed shoes.

Choose Colors Wisely

Dark and bold is always the best choice for formal events. But, a summer formal event calls for comfort more than the appeal. Thus, light-colored clothing is the best to reflect the heat. White, for instance, is more comfortable in summer events since it reflects rather than absorbs the sun’s rays and helps the body cool down. Also, white shirts blend with most colors and will still look stylishly professional.

Dark and black colors may complement well with the event, but they often absorb heat and will so uncomfortable.

If suits are necessary for the event, cream and white-colored ones are the best bet. Grey is best for pants since it’s a little darker but cooler than black.

Get the Right Fabric

The summer heat can be uncomfortable, and it’s at this time, that most people realize some fabrics trap moisture while others are breathable. When choosing clothes for a summer event, it’s worth considering breathable fabrics.

For example, synthetic fabrics aren’t the best for this season because they aren’t breathable. Consider 100% silk, cotton, jersey, or linen for best results. 

Also, tight clothes and jeans aren’t the best fit for summer events. Instead, oversized blouses, button-down shirts, and wide-leg pants are more comfortable.

Do Dresses More

One-piece clothes and layers are more comfortable in the summer than putting on many pieces. Besides, summer dresses are versatile and a perfect pull-out for dinner parties, lazy weekends, or when someone can’t find something cool and comfortable to wear.

When attending a summer event, think of the beautiful minidresses, sleeveless maxis, or miniskirts. Tie-front dresses also allow for more air circulation and boost comfort under the summer sun’s heat.

Be Selective with Accessories

Accessories offer an excellent way to make the summer formal dressing stand out and give it a statement. But, it pays to be strategic and selective with the pieces. A bunch of dangling bangles and necklaces can stick to the skin under the sun’s heat.

Thus, picking a few elegant pieces make a better statement and is still comfortable. Hoop earrings, bow ties, and silk scarves are some simple yet effective ways anyone can comfortably accessorize a summer formal attire.

Attending an event in summer can feel uncomfortable. While everyone wants to stand out and steal the show, finding a beautiful yet professional outfit can be challenging. Thanks to the tips here, everyone, including boys, girls, and women, can comfortably choose the right wardrobe for their events.
