You can actually get married all year round. Yet there is a period in which remarkably many weddings take place. That is why we speak of a 'wedding season'. Now that the astronomical spring has started, not only animals tend to seek each other out. In other words, the wedding season is just around the corner. Do you have everything you need to attend a wedding? Maybe your own wedding is already on the agenda! GENTS is always happy to give style advice - also for the wedding season!

Little by little the temperatures rise and the sun appears more often. In addition, you also notice that it stays light outside a little earlier (and longer). Due to the changing season, a part of the Netherlands experiences very specific tingles; the wedding tingles. Before you know it, the cities burst with party dresses, wedding suits, and of course we must not forget the exuberant bachelor parties. In short, the wedding season is just around the corner!

What is the wedding season?

You can get married all year round in the Netherlands. There is no agreement on when the ideal period is to tie the knot. Yet at GENTS we notice that there is a specific period in the year that is clearly preferred by couples all over the world: spring and summer. The nice weather, the blooming flowers, and the overall improvement in mood naturally encourage it a bit. When you participate in a wedding or simply attend a wedding ceremony, you naturally want to look tiptop. After all, it is a special occasion! For all men who could still use some style advice for the upcoming wedding season, GENTS gives some handy tips for men's wedding clothing.

Wedding season tip #1

Are you a guest at your mate's wedding? Then check carefully what is written on the invitation. During the wedding season, there is a tradition to give a dress code to the guests. When such a dress code is mentioned on the invitation, you must of course adhere to it. A dress code ensures unity during such a festive occasion as a wedding. Not sure what the dress code means? All information about dress codes and the associated etiquette you can fortunately also find at GENTS.

Wedding season tip #2

Is there no strict dress code? Then you have much more freedom regarding your outfit. For example, you can choose to wear a stylish, standard suit to wear. That way you are always well dressed. GENTS has a number of classy options if you go for this safe choice. Do you dare to go for something else? Then we recommend you take a look in our range of wedding suits. There you will find all kinds of special suits suitable for every wedding - inside or outside the wedding season.

For example, do you have a wedding in the spring? Then choose light, pastel shades. Is it more of a classic wedding? You are always good with an excellent gray or dark blue wedding suit. Besides the color, it is also wise to pay attention to the fabric. Can't decide which wedding suit is most suitable? Then don't hesitate to visit one of our stores. The staff at GENTS are eager to help you make the right choice during the wedding season.

Wedding season tip #3

The last tip we want to give you is perhaps the most important: never overdress. Generally, this tip is given to women during the wedding season, but for men this golden rule of course also applies. When you are a true gentleman, you take into account that you do not overshadow the groom with your chosen wedding suit. The whole day is after all about the bridal couple. Of course, your outfit may be stylish, but it must not be a showstopper are. That role is reserved for the groom's wedding suit.

Ready for the season full of weddings!

Armed with the above style tips from GENTS, you are of course completely ready for the upcoming wedding season. The only thing left for you to do is to party! After all, a wedding is a festive occasion. Because of all the things around it, that is sometimes forgotten during the wedding season. So put together your outfit, put it on (and check yourself a dozen times to make sure everything fits perfectly) and go! Together with GENTS, you are guaranteed to be tip-top ready for the wedding season in no time.
