Stylishly Dressed for Spring Events
Derby Style
We love a guy wearing full seersucker suit, but if that's not your style or not something you own already, here is what we recommend. Gingham, small checks to statement plaids or stripes...make a style statement in the outfit you wear. Choose either a statement pant in stripes, gingham, or plaid or go bolder in a print sport coat. Be playful with spring colors in greens, coral, brick red, sienna, purple or blue. Whatever colors you gravitate towards that stand out. Mint green or teal is a great color that works well with most skin colors. What you wear to the Kentucky Derby, Gold Cup, Preakness or any horse race event or party is all about bold design, prints and accessorizing with sunglasses, hats, watches and belts.

Men's Best-Dressed Wedding Guest
Be the most stylishly dressed male guest at the wedding wearing a spring color suit in linen or wool. Add a white shirt with statement tie and pocket square or go more polished and fashion-forward with a print shirt sans tie. Add a neutral lapel pin if you want to kick it up a notch. The key to spring suiting is the accessories so add a neutral or white belt, watch, sunglasses and a fun pair of shoes. Loafers in suede or loafer are a great polished touch without being as formal in lace up shoes. If the wedding is more casual, i.e. on a beach, resort or garden, you can wear a light color sport coat with white jeans or neutral 5-pocket pants.
Women's Best-Dressed Wedding Guest
Wedding season is often in spring/summer to early fall. The time of the wedding and location indicate what you should wear, from backyard garden daytime weddings to cocktail attire or black/white tie. Daytime weddings look elegant in a jumpsuit or elegant sundress. Think silk and satin in beautiful spring colors. Spring cocktail attire wear fun colorful dresses, a jumpsuit or beautiful blouse and skirt with beading or embellishment to dress it up. We love a tuxedo look for black or white tie weddings or a deep color gown or maxi dress in a fun print with statement earrings and metallic high heel sandals. If not shopping, add statement jewelry pieces, handbag and heels to give an elegant, elevated look.
