250 What should men wear to a summer wedding?It sounds like a simple question, but as Roberto explains in this episode, it really isn’t. The right answer depends on whether you’re the groom or a guest, the dress code, the setting, the climate, the bride’s outfit, your own natural colouring, and how formal the day is meant to feel. That’s why so many men get it wrong by thinking “light linen suit” and trying to tick it off the to-do list.  In this episode, Roberto breaks down the framework he uses when helping clients get this right: When, Where and Who. From there, he explains how he thinks through formality, colour, fabric, shirt, tie and shoes, why the groom should complement and elevate the bride, how to build a versatile summer suit, and the biggest mistakes guests and grooms make. He also covers natural colouring, summer construction, breathability, and why timing matters far more than most men realise. In this episode:Why most men get summer wedding dressing wrongThe difference between dressing as a guest and dressing as a groomRoberto’s When, Where and Who frameworkHow to decide the right level of formalityWhy colour is about more than personal tasteHow the bride, venue and setting affect the groom’s outfitThe truth about light linen suitsNatural colouring and choosing the right shadesConstruction, breathability and comfort in summer tailoringWhat makes a versatile summer suitShoes, shirts and ties for a summer weddingThree warnings for wedding guestsThree warnings for groomsWhy timing matters if you want the best resultTimestamps: 00:00 Why men get this wrong 00:32 Guest vs groom 01:32 Why Roberto wants to know everything 02:48 When, Where and Who 03:42 The order Roberto thinks in 04:06 Choosing the right level of formality 05:00 Should the groom go three piece? 05:35 Colour, the bride and the setting 06:20 Why the groom should elevate the bride 07:13 Real wedding examples 08:00 The light linen suit mistake 08:49 Natural colouring explained 09:36 Warm vs cool colour families 10:14 Why the right colours matter 10:51 Fabric and construction 11:56 Shirts, ties and summer cloth 12:17 Dressing as a wedding guest 12:54 What makes a versatile summer suit? 14:14 Shoes, shirts and ties 15:17 Tie or no tie? 15:48 3 warnings for wedding guests 16:34 3 warnings for grooms 17:01 How early should you start? 17:55 Why Roberto’s process is different 18:17 The Christmas lights analogy 18:51 The short version 19:15 How the right outfit should feel 19:40 Final advice for grooms and guests 20:05 Trust your instincts 20:38 Call to action  If you’ve got a summer wedding coming up and want help getting on the right path, head to Roberto Revilla London and apply.
