It doesn’t get any more traditional than the tuxedo. From the lustrous buttons and lapels to the fitted cut and black color, the ensemble is ideal for banquet halls, clubs, and other climate-controlled environments.

If soaring temperatures are on the forecast, look no further than linen. The light, breathable material will definitely mitigate the heat while you’re standing at the alter, or beside it. And though wearing linen can veer toward a more casual vibe, this SKU from Suitsupply, which is cast in an elegant sandy shade and subtle houndstooth pattern, is primed for a formal affair.
