Summer weddings are a wonderful occasion to dress your little ones in outfits that are not only stylish but also comfortable. At Pedal, we understand the need for durable, playful, and chic clothing that lets kids be kids, even at formal events. Here’s a guide to dressing your son for a summer wedding with our versatile and eco-friendly pieces, including seersucker suits, polos, and classic button-downs.
Whether you’re browsing for attire for a young wedding guest, flower girl, or ring bearer, shopping for kids’ outfits to wear to a wedding can be a little tricky. There are a few things to consider when choosing how to dress your little one for a special day.
Consider the Formality
If the wedding invitation calls for “black tie” attire or is taking place in a more formal setting, you may be wondering how to dress fussy children. Formal attire like seersucker suits, button-down shirts, and classic blazers designed with comfort and style in mind are as fuss-free as they are fancy!
Beach and backyard weddings may call for less formal looks, like polos and khakis in happy hues, gingham, and floral prints. While young kids can get away with being more casual at weddings, conventional wisdom dictates that it’s always better to be overdressed than underdressed.
Seersucker: The Ultimate Summer Fabric
Seersucker is a summer essential, known for its breathable, lightweight texture that keeps kids cool and comfortable. Our seersucker pieces are perfect for outdoor weddings where the temperature can rise.
The Seersucker Suit: Our seersucker blazer paired with matching shorts or pants makes for a charming and classic look. The crinkled texture of seersucker means it requires no ironing, maintaining a polished appearance throughout the day.
Polos: Casual Elegance
Polos are a versatile addition to any summer wardrobe, combining comfort with a touch of sophistication. They’re perfect for semi-formal weddings or as a change of attire for post-ceremony play.
- Breathable Fabrics: Our polos are made from soft, breathable fabrics that keep your child cool. They come in a range of colors to suit every taste and wedding palette.
- Pairing Options: Pair a crisp white polo with our seersucker shorts for a relaxed yet polished look. For a pop of color, choose a vibrant polo to go with neutral pants or shorts.
Classic Button-Downs: Timeless Style
Button-down shirts are a staple for any formal occasion, providing a polished look that’s still comfortable for active kids.
The Classic Button-Down:
- Lightweight Materials: Our button-downs are crafted from lightweight, locally sourced fabrics that ensure comfort and ease of movement.
- Versatile Pairings: Tuck a button-down into classic chino pants or shorts for tons of mix & match options.
Dressing Tips for a Summer Wedding
- Layering: Bring a lightweight blazer or cardigan for cooler evening temperatures. Our seersucker blazer is perfect for this purpose.
- Comfort First: Ensure that the clothing fits well and is comfortable. Kids will be more likely to enjoy the event if they’re not fussing with their clothes.
- Accessories: A stylish hat or bow tie can add a touch of fun and formality to the outfit.
- Footwear: Choose comfortable yet stylish shoes, such as loafers or dress sandals, that your child can wear all day without discomfort.
