Choosing an outfit for a wedding can be a bit of a headache, and it's even more challenging when the event is in a hot, humid location abroad. One of the best options for such occasions is to opt for lightweight, breathable fabrics like linen. However, if you're not keen on wearing a dress or are concerned about inner thigh chafing we might have just found the perfect solution.
Ariat's Rhett Vest, available for £40 here, and the matching Butler Trousers, priced at £55 here, offer a fantastic alternative to the traditional dress. They're ideal for maintaining a cool and breezy look throughout a day of celebrations. The waistcoat and trouser combo is chic and stylish, featuring a cream and light blue stripe pattern that's not only on-trend but also timeless.
This matching set embodies power dressing without appearing too formal or corporate, thanks to the linen material which lends it a relaxed, effortless vibe. It's polished yet easy to wear, making it the perfect addition to your summer wedding wardrobe, reports the Mirror.
Both pieces are made from 55% cotton, 35% recycled polyester and 10% linen. The cotton and linen components help keep the material cool, breezy and lightweight, even in high temperatures abroad. The inclusion of polyester and cotton also means they're less likely to crease and rumple in your suitcase compared to 100% linen items, making them perfect for travel.
The waistcoat boasts a classic design with a button-up front and a pointed hemline for a tailored, sophisticated look, while the trousers' wide leg design and elasticated back waistband ensures comfort and an easy, relaxed vibe. The beauty of this suit is that both pieces can be worn separately too to maximise your packing space and give you plenty of outfit options all summer long.
Pair the waistcoat with some denim shorts and sandals for a casual dinner date, or pair the trousers with a simple white T-shirt and trainers for a comfortable outfit to explore the local sights in.
Another fabulous choice for a stylish yet comfy suit is Marks and Spencer's Linen Blend High Waisted Bermuda Shorts, £29.50 here, and the matching Linen Rich Relaxed Single Breasted Blazer, £59 here. The co-ord bold purple hue is perfect for adding some colour to your outfit, and just like Ariat's matching set each piece can be mixed and matched to create multiple looks without overpacking your suitcase.
Looks like we've finally found the solution to those destination wedding packing conundrums not to mention a does-it-all solution for the rest of our summer wardrobe!
