250 What should men wear to a summer wedding?

It sounds like a simple question, but as Roberto explains in this episode, it really isn’t. The right answer depends on whether you’re the groom or a guest, the dress code, the setting, the climate, the bride’s outfit, your own natural colouring, and how formal the day is meant to feel. That’s why so many men get it wrong by thinking “light linen suit” and trying to tick it off the to-do list.

In this episode, Roberto breaks down the framework he uses when helping clients get this right: When, Where and Who. From there, he explains how he thinks through formality, colour, fabric, shirt, tie and shoes, why the groom should complement and elevate the bride, how to build a versatile summer suit, and the biggest mistakes guests and grooms make. He also covers natural colouring, summer construction, breathability, and why timing matters far more than most men realise.
