Men’s Beach Wedding Shirts – Styles and Fabrics

March 27, 2017 Carolyn

Men’s beach wedding shirts come in many styles, sizes, and fabrics. In fact, the hardest part is sometimes choosing among all that is available.

Whether you’re looking for a casual, semi-formal or formal look there are some guidelines you can follow to help you pick the best option for you.

Dress According To Climate

When I think of a beach wedding, I immediately think about hot temperatures. Some places enjoy a year-round mild climate like the Caribbean or Florida.

To make the best of your day under a suffocating heat, choose a shirt fabric to help you stay cool. A blend of natural fibers like linen or cotton.

These fabric blends help your skin stay cool by absorbing moisture.

Linen is the number one fabric to choose for hot temperatures. It’s lightweight and dries fast.

On the other hand, it creases easily. To prevent this, some shirt fabrics are made with a mix of linen, rayon, polyester and other synthetic fibers.

Short Sleeve Shirts

Short sleeve shirts are appropriate for casual beach weddings. Of course, you can go for the typical colorful Hawaiian shirt… or… not.

This jacquard pattern shirt is a more discreet version of the Hawaiian shirt. It has a delicate tone on tone floral design that goes well with a tropical beach background.

Light Colors

Indoor weddings are usually held in an air-conditioned facility. It’s common to see men wearing dark suits. Men’s beach wedding shirts and suits tend to be light gray, blue, brown and off white.

The main reason for this is that light colors reflect sunlight to help you stay cool.

If you plan to wear a light color suit, you may want to wear a traditional white shirt. For a sophisticated look, choose one with a subtle detail.

It can be as simple as a contrasting gray detail on the button line and a fixed handkerchief like on the picture at the right.

Lively colors go well with summer and beach weddings. Be bold and find a shirt color that makes you stand out from the crowd. Solid colors make a shirt look dressy. Choosing a vibrant color gives your outfit character.

Sleeveless vest

A sleeveless vest over your shirt is a great clothing accessory that adds elegance without being too formal.

Again, you can decide to wear light blue, gray and sandy colors.

Moreover, you can go with dark colors since you can easily take it off if you feel too hot. Unlike your shirt which you’ll have to wear all day.

Quality Men’s Beach Wedding Shirts At Low Cost

You don’t need to pay a fortune for a good quality dress shirt. Expect to pay between $20 and $40 for a well-made shirt. Pure linen shirts are more expensive and cost from $25 to $65.

However, the benefits of using a linen blend garment are worth spending the extra money if you intend to wear it on a hot summer day or a tropical beach celebration.

Choose a shirt made of linen and rayon or another fiber blend.

This will translate into savings and in a garment that does not wrinkle as easily as pure linen. Plus it will not retain warmth and humidity on your skin as other fabric like silk and wool.

To save money, take advantage of discounts on Amazon. There are many good deals that come and go throughout the year.
