What is Beach formal or Beach wedding?
It's typically used for beach weddings and it's comprised of the most formal things you can wear at the beach without looking totally out of place.

WHAT NOT TO WEAR:
1. Sandals
First, never wear any sandals with a suit. It just doesn't go together. If you wear long pants, you could just take off your shoes, take off your socks and roll up the hems. That way it works with the beach wedding theme.

2. Shorts
Don't wear a suit jacket or a blazer with shorts. That's maybe a look that is originally from Bermuda and they wear it with over the calf socks.

3. Short sleeved shirts
Avoid bringing short-sleeved shirts because either you go a little more casual and have a polo shirt with short sleeves or you take a long-sleeve shirt and if it's quite warm you can simply roll up your shirt sleeves.

4. Monochromatic look
By that, I mean pants or a jacket or shirt and even a tie all matching in the same color. It lacks contrast and overall monochromatic outfits are never flattering.

What should you wear?

First of all, if you think you don't have anything in your current closet it's better to buy something than to rent something because you can always wear it whenever you travel into warmer climates.

So what are the items you should invest in?
1. Casual closed-toed shoes
If you're often in warmer climates I suggest thinking about a perforated leather shoe because it's something that keeps you cooler and it's definitely more casual than a regular leather shoe.

2. Belt
Just make sure it picks up some colors in your outfit. Definitely, don't show up in shorts unless the bride and groom have specifically asked you to do so.

3. Buttoned barrel cuffs
It's just one layer of fabric and if you're really overheating you can even unbutton the shirt button on your cuff.

4. Suit
Go with something lighter colored maybe a seersucker suit or a lighter suit maybe in khaki or tan or you can go with a combination of let's say seersucker pants and a lighter jacket like just the one I'm wearing here right now.

Definitely, opt for more casual details in your jackets which means notch lapels or patch pockets rather than peak lapels and jetted pockets.

5. Accessories
In terms of accessories, it's okay to go without neckwear because it is warm. However, it's a wedding after all and you want to put your best foot forward. I suggest to either go with a knit tie because it has an open weave or maybe a bow tie because it's lighter in weight. You can also have bolder colors or summery colors and you can look for fabrics like this shantung silk here which is more knobby and more casual than a traditional wedding tie or an office tie.

On top of that, a little boutonniere in your buttonhole can be a nice addition. However, sometimes that's reserved just for the wedding party so when in doubt I'd rather skip the boutonniere and normally go with a pocket square.

So you go with shoes do you need to wear socks?
Basically, I always like to have over the calf socks that will take off. If that's too much for you maybe go with a pair of no-show socks so that way you have that beach look but you still have shoes on and you're not sweating or you don't get blisters inside your shoes.
