What shoes should you wear to a summer wedding?

The wedding season is underway, and as you are already imagining yourself experiencing the reception party in 28°C heat, you're struggling to find the perfect outfit for these festive, warm days.

You've already selected a sharp outfit: a linen or double-breasted suit with an open shirt or a suit with more conventional tailoring, Now all that's left is choosing the final touch to complete your look: the shoes. Bobbies’ shoes will anchor your style by combining elegance and distinction to complete your desired look. Here is a carefully curated selection for your summer celebrations: suit shoes designed for special occasions and long sunny days.

Remember the three warm shades of the summer: light brown, ivory, sand

With the arrival of sunny days, winter’s dark shades fade away, leaving room for more vibrant, cheerful tones.
The understated, distinguished light brown of our Stanley loafers will add subtle warmth to a navy or gray suit, linen short-sleeved shirt or even a bohemian print shirt.
The smooth or suede Antelope-colored leathers of our Nigel studded loafers or our soft sand-toned Lloyd loafers with braided laces will delicately blur the lines between formal and casual looks. All are perfect for bucolic celebrations in flower-filled gardens or by the seaside.
Finally this season, ivory is a sharp, fashionable, uninhibited accent to enhance light-colored monochromatic looks or dark trouser/print shirt combos and delicately complement any summer fabric.

From the most sophisticated to the most relaxed

The perfect wedding guest outfit is a careful balance between chic discretion and a measured presence to uniquely reflect your personality. To complement your style, whether it is refined or relaxed, Bobbies classy men's shoes are available in a variety of styles.

For the more classic or sophisticated man, or for those who have a key role in the ceremony, you need shoes that emphasize your look without overdoing it and embody the importance and uniqueness of the special day. For a wedding witness outfit, choose chic shoes like our Terrence oxfords with leather welts and finely-stitched soles and pair them with a simple, tailored suit. Or wear our Django suede oxfords for a contemporary, understated look. These suit shoes feature meticulous finishes, handcrafted patinas and clean lines that will highlight any outfit while respecting the solemnity of the occasion.

For those who are more daring, dress shoes are a subtle yet decisive signature of your refined taste. The Thierno monk shoes with their leather welt stitching will complement tailored trousers and a vintage jacket. Or else pair our Andrey loafers and their gold metal bit details with a poplin outfit or a flowing shirt and dark linen trouser combo.

Finally, for those free spirits whose relaxed, nonchalant style breaks all conventions, we recommend the Islay suede boat shoes or the Barry sandals with leather straps and thin soles for extra lightness. Freer, more comfortable and always sharp, they can be worn with an ivory suit, an open-necked shirt and also textured, breathable, more stylish fabrics.

Structure and flexibility for carefully-designed comfort

Finally, because foot pain is not exclusive to women, our dress shoes are designed to accompany you without being restrictive, whether you're giving an empassioned speech to the bridal couple, sharing hilarious moments with friends or, for the most determined among you, finishing off the evening leading the conga line.

At Bobbies, elegance never comes at the expense of comfort. The thick soles of our Manny platform oxfords, the sleek, uncomplicated lines of Paco loafers with studded soles or the flexibility of Bormes suede loafers are ideal for enjoying every moment with ease all night long.
