We will be attending parties in droves this summer! BBQs, festivals, garden parties, company outings, weddings, and the list goes on. We always find a reason to throw a party, and who can blame us? The temperatures are slowly but surely rising, and it stays light for a long time during the day, perfect for parties! But what outfit should we wear this summer, so we can leave the house without spending hours in front of the closet or making a fashion blunder because we missed the dress code? With these outfit tips, you’ll always be ready to party!
#1 The Garden Party
An outfit that always works for garden parties is the smart casual look. Choose a comfortable pair of jeans, pair it with a trendy patterned shirt, and you’re good to go. If tropical temperatures hit, opt for a polo or T-shirt in a summer color or with a tropical print. Bring a blazer with you because you never know how long the parties will last, and unfortunately, we don’t always have balmy summer evenings in the Netherlands.
#2 The Wedding
Your outfit choice for a wedding depends on your relationship with the bride and groom and the dress code they prescribe. It’s always okay to show up in a stylish suit, with a shirt, tie, and pocket square. However, if you are only invited for the evening and the dress code is unknown, play it safe and go for casual chic. This is a wearable outfit with a stylish detail. For example, pair a comfortable chino with a smart shirt and complete it with a nice blazer. Style both your suit and your casual chic outfit with elegant monk shoes and a matching belt.
#3 Office Party
An office party, or the dreaded company party, is always a challenge. What if you’ve been in a suit all day, what do your colleagues expect from you? Just go for clothes that make you feel good but also match the company you work for. If the office has an informal atmosphere, there’s nothing wrong with a cool pair of jeans and a sporty yet stylish polo. If the workplace is a bit more formal, pair chinos with an office shirt and a blazer. Choose a shirt with a print or in a summer color. Printed shirts are truly summery, so they should be a staple in your wardrobe!
#4 Beach Party
You know the atmosphere, a great beach party, bonfires, a cocktail in hand, music playing, and you’re all set! For these parties, Suitable has a lot of cool shorts. There are shorts in all shapes, colors, and patterns. Chino shorts always work well, especially if they come in trendy colors or prints: you can’t think of anything that’s not allowed in the summer. Pair this outfit with a stylish polo or trendy T-shirt, and your look is complete.
In short, with the right clothing, you’re ready for all the parties that summer will bring! Visit our colleagues in the store, or if you’ve caught the bug, shop directly online and order your complete party outfit through our webshop.
