White dresses are cute! I feel you! But just try not to in this instance. Even if the wedding is a more casual event, I promise you: It is not that casual. If you are concerned about your comfort level for the day, try an outfit in a soft, natural fabric like cotton. Jeans are typically too casual for a momentous occasion like this. Plus, why wear denim when you can wear it literally any other day? This applies mainly to the men out there, but stick with pants.

Of course you wanna win best-dressed guest—and sometimes that means wearing a glittery option.

There's no need to limit yourself to a white button up.
You can try wearing a button front shirt in a striped or gingham pattern or choose one with a small dot or floral print. Another good rule of thumb to follow when choosing a dress or outfit for a casual wedding is to pick out something you'd feel comfortable wearing in a business casual workplace. That can help you rule out dresses that are too short, dresses that don't cover the shoulders or arms enough, and dresses that are just too relaxed to be worn anywhere but around the house.
Holding a wedding outdoors can complicate the dress code somewhat. Although it's not impossible to have a formal wedding in the great outdoors, it's usually unlikely that a couple will expect guests to dress to the nines while having to navigate grass, sand or mud. Generally speaking, outdoor wedding attire is typically more casual than indoor wedding attire.
But, just as you don't want to break out the jeans and ratty T-shirts for a casual wedding, you also want to avoid dressing down too much for an outdoor wedding. After all, it should still be idyllic and put-together in aesthetic. Since the couple has probably but a lot of time into selecting just the right wedding decor to set the mood, you don't want to misinterpret the dress code and wear something that totally clashes with the event.
Since an outdoor wedding can take many forms, here are a few suggestions for casual outdoor wedding attire based on the location and season of the wedding:. Although a beach wedding is a type of outdoor wedding, it gets its own category because figuring out what to wear to a wedding on the beach can get complicated.
Your first thought when you find out that your friend is getting hitched by the seashore might be that it will be a casual affair. While it's true that plenty of beach weddings are more casual than weddings that take place in a church or traditional reception hall, some couples plan on having a formal affair on the beach. If the wedding invitation doesn't specifically say "beach formal" or "beach casual," your best option is to reach out to a bridesmaid or the mother of the bride and ask what the style and dress code for the wedding is.
Attending a beach formal wedding doesn't mean you need your heels or an evening dress. Guys don't have to wear a tux to the beach. It usually simply means that the couple hopes you'll dress to impress and won't go too casual. For women, that means a longer dress, such as a tea length. Anything longer will drag on the sand and potentially get wet on the hem, which can be a nightmare to clean. Since most beachfront weddings take place in the summer, you'll want to pick a color that's bright and sunny or a pretty print, such as floral or polka dot.
A black dress is acceptable, but you might look a little somber if it's a hot, sunny day. The shoes you pick to wear to a beach formal wedding might matter more than the dress. Stilettos will sink to the sand, and ballet flats will fill up with sand. Strappy, dressy sandals are a must, as is a pedicure to make sure your toes and heels look on point. Since beaches tend to be windy places, a swept-up hairstyle might be ideal to keep your hair from blowing about and flying into your face.
You'll also want to keep your makeup more natural during a formal beach wedding. You don't want to sweat under layers of thick foundation and blush, or have your smokey eye makeup end up running down your face. Men attending a beach formal wedding can wear a lightweight suit, such as seersucker or linen, with a pair of loafers or sandals. No socks are required, because they'll just fill up with sand.
You can also usually skip the tie, but bring the jacket. In the case of a casual beach wedding, the hemline of your dress can be a bit shorter, around knee length, but you don't want to go too short. This darling lavender high-low wrap dress screams beachwear, while also being dressed up and long enough for a wedding. Guys can usually get away with wearing a pair of knee-length shorts to a casual beach event, as long as the shorts are made of khaki or linen and are paired with a button-front shirt and jacket.
