The Ultimate Guide to Dressing for Communions and Confirmations

As the season of communions and confirmations approaches, it’s time to find the perfect outfit for yourself as a dad. At Louis Copeland, we’ve curated a collection that offers style, comfort, and versatility—whether it’s a classic jacket, a sleek blazer, or comfortable loafers. Here’s everything you need to know to dress in style for the big day.

1. Copper Jackets: The Statement Piece for 2025

Copper is the colour of the year for communions and confirmations, offering a sophisticated yet fresh twist on traditional outfits. One standout piece in our collection is the copper jacket with a blue windowpane check. This jacket pairs beautifully with a light blue shirt, dress handkerchief, and light chinos, creating a sharp and elegant look perfect for a special occasion.

For an added layer of style, consider pairing the copper jacket with a white button-down shirt. Add light trousers, and you’ll have a stunning outfit that will look amazing on a sunny day, adding both warmth and elegance to your appearance.

2. Teal and Blue Jackets: Sophisticated Colour Options

If you're looking for something a little different, our teal-blue herringbone jacket is a stunning choice. Made from a luxurious blend of wool, silk, and linen, this jacket stands out for its refined texture and vibrant colour. It pairs effortlessly with navy trousers or light chinos for a standout look.

This jacket is perfect for dads who want to look unique while still maintaining an elegant, timeless appearance. Whether it's for communions, confirmations, or future family events, the teal-blue jacket offers versatility and style.

3. Deep Copper with Brown: A Rich, Subtle Look

For a slightly more understated yet still fashionable choice, the deep copper-brown hybrid jacket with a windowpane check is the perfect option. The warm copper tones combined with a subtle check pattern provide a sophisticated, elegant look that’s ideal for any formal occasion.

Pair this jacket with light trousers, and you’ve got a timeless combination that works well for a communion or confirmation. The deep copper adds a touch of luxury without being overly bold, making it a great choice for those looking for something classic with a modern twist.

4. Beige Hopsack Jackets: Light and Fresh for Spring Celebrations

If you’re aiming for a softer, lighter outfit, the beige hopsack jacket is a perfect option. This jacket offers a clean, fresh look, ideal for warmer days. Pair it with a cream shirt and a light blue pocket handkerchief for a charming combination. The beige tone adds a soft elegance that works well for both formal and semi-formal events.

Add a pair of brown loafers, and you’ve got a stylish, laid-back yet refined look that’s perfect for the occasion.

5. Light Trousers: The Foundation of Every Outfit

One essential piece for any communion or confirmation look is a pair of light trousers. Whether you go for light grey, beige, or stone, light trousers are the perfect foundation for any jacket. These trousers pair effortlessly with a variety of colours and styles, ensuring that no matter what jacket you choose, your outfit will come together seamlessly.

Light trousers are the perfect solution for dads who want an easy, no-fuss outfit. Once you have these trousers in place, choosing a jacket becomes a simple task. Plus, they can be worn beyond the ceremony, making them a smart investment

6. Suede Loafers: Footwear That Complements Any Look

No outfit is complete without the right pair of shoes, and our suede slip-on loafers are the perfect finishing touch. Available in navy, green, and brown, these loafers can be paired with any of the jackets in our collection for a polished, modern look.

  • Navy Loafers: Ideal for pairing with a blue or teal jacket and light trousers.

  • Brown Loafers: Perfect with the copper jackets and light chinos for a warm, sophisticated look.

These loafers are versatile enough to transition from the communion or confirmation service to a casual dinner out, making them a smart, stylish choice for any occasion.

7. Dressing with Confidence: The Perfect Outfit for the Big Day

At Louis Copeland, we believe confidence is key to looking your best. Our collection is designed to help you feel comfortable and stylish on the big day.
