Smart Suiting
A well-cut suit never goes out of style, especially for a traditional event like a Christening. Opt for slim or tailored fits for a clean, modern silhouette, and pair with a crisp shirt for a sharp finish. Add subtle accessories to tie the look together. He doesn’t need to go full tuxedo, but a well-thought-out suit will always make the right impression. Bonus points for breathable fabrics like cotton or lightweight wool, especially for warmer months or outdoor services.
Avoid Darker Shades
Christenings are a day of celebration, so it’s important his suiting fits the tone of the occasion. Avoid darker shades for his suiting – lighter and neutrals shades are the way forward especially when it’s Spring or Summer! Suiting is the traditional choice for occasionwear for him, whether he’s after a three-piece or standard jacket and trousers. With grey, beige, stone and lighter blue suiting options, he’ll look smart for the Christening.

Consider The Weather
Dressing for a Christening means thinking practically too. If it’s a summer ceremony, breathable fabrics like linen, cotton, and lightweight blends will keep you cool and comfortable - perfect for warm chapels or outdoor garden gatherings. In winter or autumn, layering is key. A wool blazer, smart overcoat, or textured knit can add both warmth and polish to his look. Just remember to coordinate outerwear with the overall outfit - think tone-on-tone layers for a cohesive feel that’s both seasonally appropriate and stylish.
