We’ve written before about the versatility of the guayabera shirt on this blog. We’ve talked about how it can be custom tailored with some added embroidery and additional pockets sewn in. We’ve talked about the storied history of this legendary shirt. What we need to talk about now is how often guayabera shirts are worn in wedding ceremonies in South and Central American countries. Why is that? There are several things that make the guayabera the perfect shirt for so dignified an occasion. • They are easily customizable: The guayabera is an excellent choice for wedding attire because it can go from a relatively simple design to a more elaborate and formal design with the addition of pleats, pockets, etc. • They are comfortable: Guayaberas can give an extra level of comfort during what is sometimes a long and uncomfortable ceremony. Additionally, when the wedding is held outdoors in warm weather, guayaberas have a cooling effect a more formal style of shirt does not provide. • They are both formal and casual ware: A shirt one would commonly wear with a tuxedo may be very formal looking but it is not usually wearable in casual situations. • They are cheaper than a tuxedo and its accessories: Guayaberas are only a fraction of the cost of a shirt one might usually wear with a tuxedo and have the added advantage of being more comfortable and just as stylish. • They are suitable for casually themed weddings as well: Beach weddings, backyard weddings, it does not matter. Guayaberas fit perfectly well whether the wedding is casual or very informal. • Guayabera shirts are more quickly alterable: Guayabera shirts can quickly be styled up to the level of a much more expensive shirt. We have shirts that come in a variety of styles that come with ornate embroidery • Guayabera shirts are more easily laundered: Formal wedding wear often has to be taken to the dry cleaners to clean which adds to the cost of rental. This can be problematic when kids are in attendance at wedding ceremonies. Our shirts are ready for everyday use fresh out of the dryer, ironed or sharply starched So, you see guayaberas are completely appropriate for wedding ceremonies. Look over the shirts and accessories on our site and you will agree that they are versatile, stylish and practical.
