Dress Code: Think light, airy, and effortlessly chic to complement the relaxed beach atmosphere.
For Women: Go for a flowy maxi dress in breathable fabrics like chiffon or cotton. Tropical prints or soft pastels work wonderfully against the beach backdrop. Showoff’s maxi dresses with delicate patterns and relaxed fits are ideal for a beach wedding. Complete your look with strappy sandals or wedges and some statement earrings.
For Men: Choose a linen suit or a light blazer with dress pants in colors like beige, light grey, or pastels to keep things cool and sophisticated. Skip the tie for a more casual feel and finish with loafers or dressy sandals. Showoff’s lightweight suits offer style without the heat.
