The invites are coming in thick and fast and it seems that there isn’t a weekend without a wedding. As a guest, it’s going to be quite an expensive summer!

But as usual, we are here to help. Bortex has been the go-to for occasion wear for many, many years. We see families through events from birth to death, with all of the joyous occasions in between. Weddings being the catalyst for many of the other occasions.

Gone are the days of a sombre suit as wedding attire. With fashion and climate changes we have adjusted and changed our perceptions as to what to wear, and today, colour and pattern are encouraged.

Fabrics and structure also help with unlined jackets in linen and a lightweight seersucker being available for a wedding that even though in the evening, may see temperatures that are in the high 20’s.

But having two fun jackets, you can alternate and accessorise to maximise options for your look.

Take this blue check jacket and this red linen one, now, see them both with a collarless linen shirt and dark blue trousers? They’re a Completely different look with just the change of jacket!

And do the same exercise with this Ecotec jacket and the fresh seersucker double breasted piece and voila!

You can of course wear other colour trousers with all these suggestions, light blue, stone, white for example, so these will not be limited to create one outfit each.

For other occasions you could add a waistcoat – matching or coordinating – most of these jackets have one that pairs perfectly and can be worn standalone too.

And ironically, if you spend more, you save more – with 10% off these jackets! Essentially, when buying two, you can get a shirt, cost free.
