These days, the casual wedding is all about the open-necked shirts, tailored shorts or chinos, linen suits, and maybe a blazer or waistcoat.
Casual weddings are a good opportunity to wear easy, breezy clothes that you feel comfortable in but still ooze style…your own style.
There isn’t much scope for obvious personality with the uniform of a traditional morning suit; it’s all a bit black, grey and a white shirt. A casual wedding though gives you more opportunity to vary colours and styles. You can go to town on your footwear too.
For a casual brogue we have the Rockford in a honey brown suede. Smart but not over-bearing. If your feet are a little wide and you prefer a derby, then the St Julien comes in dark brown or navy suede but has a white, lightweight rubber sole to home in on the summertime vibe.
A casual wedding, though, is a perfect excuse for a new pair of loafers. Our Italian inspired collection – the Lucca II, Sienna II (below), Terni II and Pisa II – offer suede, penny, and tasselled options made from the finest leather.
The Barcelona II tasselled loafer is smart too while the Guildford comes in a beautiful grey calf.
To really kick back though, you could opt for Matira (below) rubber-soled loafers or slip into our biscuit Sanremo suede espadrilles (below).
You can ditch the socks with all the above suggestions to really embrace the casual nature of the occasion. With any of these choices though, you do not have to ditch the style!
If you are the groom, then remember it is your day so go with the style that suits your personality but don’t scrimp on the comfort. Handmade shoes from Herring will mould to your feet so wear them around the house to get used to them. Do not wear for the first time on your wedding day!
