Wedding season has arrived

Wedding season is upon us and we thought we’d lend a helping hand to all the gents out there on the lookout for the perfect pair of shoes for the occasion. If you’re looking for something stylish, sharp, hard wearing and comfortable then look no further. Frank Wright’s list of smart footwear options exudes sophistication and these hard-wearing styles will let you stroll through the season in style.

For the traditional morning suit wedding:

If you’re going traditional tuxedo then you’ll need a classic style leather shoe to complete the look. Why not go for Dodd II in black leather, the simplistic styling of the shoe will complete the smart ensemble perfectly.

For the elegant, stylish wedding:

If you choose to opt for a more contemporary suit then the rule is to ensure your shoes are darker than the suit (unless its black of course, in this case you should always wear black shoes also).

If you do decide to go for something a little less traditional in your suit choice, be it grey, navy, burgundy, red, blue, khaki or perhaps camel then you have more options footwear wise too.

Here’s our top picks for the contemporary suit ensemble:

These styles would look great with any colour suit

Perfect for light grey, camel, blue, red and khaki ensembles

 Wear with grey, camel, or blue suits.

For the beach wedding:

A beach wedding is definitely not somewhere you drag your old black suit to. For this type of wedding something light and comfortable is much more suitable, and you can forget the tie too. Go for breathable fabrics in your clothing such as cotton or even linen, you should opt for a lighter colour option too. Why not try khaki, tan or light blue?

That’s the clothing sorted now for the shoes…….

It’s much more acceptable to dress a little casual for a beach wedding, so we’d suggest maybe ditching the leather loafers and brogues and opting for a canvas or suede style. Remember the rule though: your shoes should be darker than the suit. Here are the Frank Wright top beach wedding picks:

Hopefully this handy guide has helped you choose the appropriate attire for your summer wedding but there’s one last thing to mention – socks!

Socks can sometimes cause a fashion catastrophe if you don’t get it right! Follow the simple rule of always matching socks to the colour of the trousers (not the shoe) if your going for a classic, traditional look.

If your suit is a bit cooler, colourful and contemporary you can play about with sock design, try argyle patterns for an on-trend and modern look or if you’re at a beach wedding why not ditch the socks?
