Garden party attire is a dress code that’s light, airy, and elegant—perfect for outdoor weddings, upscale picnics, and warm-weather events. It’s formal enough to look polished but still comfortable for an outdoor setting.
Women’s Attire:
Fabrics: Flowy materials like chiffon, cotton, linen, or silk to keep cool.
Dresses: Midi or maxi dresses with florals, pastels, or soft prints—nothing too dark or heavy. However, it's also a wedding, so please be mindful of how light your colors are (and seriously avoid white).
Skirts & Blouses: A flowy skirt paired with a light blouse works, too.
Shoes: Wedges, block heels, ballet flats, or dressy sandals—avoid stilettos if the event is on grass.
Accessories: Sun hats, pearl or floral-inspired jewelry, and light scarves for an extra touch.
Men’s Attire:
Fabrics: Lightweight and breathable materials like linen, cotton, seersucker, and lightweight wool. These keep you cool while still looking sharp.
Shirts: A button-down shirt in white, pastel, or floral prints (short or long sleeves depending on the vibe).
Pants: Chinos or linen trousers in neutral tones (khaki, beige, light gray, or soft blues).
Jackets (Optional): A lightweight blazer or unstructured linen sports coat—nothing too stiff or heavy.
Shoes: Loafers, dress sandals, or leather espadrilles—skip the heavy dress shoes.
Accessories: Light-colored ties (or no tie at all), a pocket square, and even a Panama hat if it's extra sunny.
