The honeymoon is the perfect time to relax with your loved ones and get to know them better. This is going to be one memorable trip of your life that neither of you is ever going to forget. Everything is extremely special, from your destinations to every little conversation you have. And that is exactly why you can not afford to mess it up in any way.
Deciding what outfits to pack for your honeymoon is as important as determining your wedding day outfit. Naturally, you would want to look your best to impress your significant other. There is a significant difference between travelling with your friends and when you are doing so with your loved one, especially shortly after the wedding. Unlike other times when you hang out with your boys, you can’t just wear anything or repeat the same outfits. Your style game needs to be on point this time.
Tips On Honeymoon Outfits
Always Come Prepared. With this, I mean you have to be ready for all types of weather. So you need to pack outfits that can withstand the unexpected turn of weather conditions. Have some clothes for hot, sunny days and some for cold, wet rainy days.
Consult Your Partner. You know what’s best for yourself. However, it won’t hurt you if you ask your lover which clothes look better on you, or rather what she wants to see you wearing. This would also build your confidence and trust. And it’s fun to do it. You can do the same for her when she’s struggling with her outfit decisions.
- Research About The Place. This will help you curate your outfits. Make sure you pack the right clothes to suit the weather of the place. For instance, if you are visiting Greece expect that you’ll be doing a lot of sightseeing and “beach vibing.” So this entails the need to pack lightweight fits. You can get some good ideas from my previous post on beach outfits for men.
- Versatile Pieces. Sort out your options, and pack outfits that can work well with various fits. From these combos, you can create outfits that suit a wide range of activities – from street exploration to beach relaxation.
What To Avoid
- Anything Too Casual. Remember that you’re off to a honeymoon and not a date. That said, you might wanna pack outfits that are slightly dressier yet not too overkill. Think of button-downs and chinos instead of tees and jeans, or even shorts. As for the footwear, you can trade your sneakers for loafers or brogues.
- Packing More Than Necessary. Of all the things that can get in the way, don’t let overpacking be one of them. No couple wants extra baggage when they’re supposed to be having fun. It’s not wise to bring more than what you need, and this applies to every trip – not only in honeymoons.
- Too Much Jewelry. You might want to ease up a bit on bling. If you can, just bring your engagement ring with you and that’s it. More often than not, tourist spots are rich not only with sceneries but with thieves as well.Â
Looking good plays a major role in having a good time. After all, who doesn’t like getting compliments and attention? Not just that, you also want to look great in photographs. You need to pack smartly and not empty your entire closet into your suitcase. Excess baggage can be a big hassle, so try your best to travel lightly. The kind of outfits you will need will depend upon the places you will be visiting and what time of the day you will be seeing them. As a general rule, here are some of the absolute essentials you must have when going on a honeymoon:
Must-Have Essentials
- Basic tee in a neutral colour
- Polo shirts
- Semi-formal shirt
- Shorts and jeans
- Comfortable footwear such as flip-flops and sneakers
- Sunglasses and hats
Outfit Ideas
40 – Pack Brogues for Formal Dinner
What’s nice about brogues is that they can make any outfit look sharper and smarter. No matter what top you’re wearing, your outfit can instantly look great for a honeymoon. Just don’t wear your brogues with shorts.
39 – Pack Khakis for a Smart Casual Lunch Date
If you have khaki at your disposal, wear them with white long-sleeves. This will create a combo with a relaxed yet stylish appearance.
38 – Pair Your Shorts with Button Downs
I wouldn’t recommend this look for all men. Shorts should only be your backup or last resort. But the catch is shorts are perfect for short men. Other than that, wear them only when it’s hot outside. Pair them with a button-down shirt, or any casual footwear and voila!
37 – Don’t Forget Your Crisp White Shirt
Don’t just wear any white shirt; make sure they are crisp. Fabrics like linen are ideal for summer and spring. Don’t forget to roll up your sleeves. No need to tuck them in!
36 – For Winter Honeymoon, Shearling Coats are a Must
For a much colder climate, opt for something cosy and warm. A shearling coat is one good option you can think of. Get one in winter or fall-appropriate colour, like brown for instance. This jacket is a great layering piece. Shearling coats do take up a lot of space though so it would be a good idea to buy them once you reach your destination and go shopping.
35 – It’s Okay to Keep it Simple
You can look as simple as you can be. Opt for neutral colours like black and white. Wear them as your top, and then team them up with faded blue jeans. Remember to get all the pieces in the right fit.
34 – Blue Stripes Always Look Good
33 – Keep it Minimalist for Your Yacht

Suits are essential for a special trip like honeymoons. But I would advise you against sporting a full suit. Instead, dress it down – either through your shoes or undershirt. For instance, Marcell Floruss in this photo, is wearing sneakers instead of brogues or Oxfords.
25 – Choose Muted Tones for Daytime Strolling
24 – Smart Casual is Essential

For tropical climates, you don’t need to pack much. Sweaters, coats, and boots aren’t necessary. Consider doing some matchy-matchy with your lover. For one, floral or tropical prints are perfect for this type of place especially when you’re at the beach.
