Well, summer is definitely here and that means that wedding season is in full swing. With each wedding invite, I deliberate over what I am going to wear. As if that wasn’t enough to figure out, my boyfriend always comes to me to help him decide what to wear as well. I have to admit, I am a bit out of my element when it comes to menswear, but I have been trying to learn a bit more about it in the last couple years. One thing I definitely try to do when dressing myself and him is to figure out how to coordinate our outfits so we at least compliment each other without looking too matchy-matchy. Here’s a few times I think I succeeded in getting the well-dressed couple thing right:
I recently discovered Paul Fredrick, which is a great men’s brand that has some classic, quality pieces for men for reasonable prices.

If you too find it challenging to dress yourself and your wedding date, read on for a couple tricks I have found simplify the process of figuring out what to wear:
Think complimentary, not matchy
One thing I think looks really great for couples is to wear complimentary colors. I love yellow and blue together because those two colors seem to just make each other pop. This look is a bit more preppy, so it is perfect for an East coast wedding. Also, I have to say, I love a man in a suit, but a seersucker suit?! Maybe its the Southern girl in me, but I just think there is nothing more perfect for summer.
