As any seasoned guest knows, the last thing you want to do is procrastinate finalizing your look until it’s the night before the wedding and you feel like you have nothing to wear. When it comes to wedding fashion etiquette, there are a few rules that’ll help you find an outfit that’s appropriate and stylish. The dress code is the most important factor to take into consideration when choosing what to wear to a wedding. The majority of couples will set a wedding dress code depending on the style of the event, as well as the time of year it’s taking place. You can never go wrong with a navy blazer, a blue button-down shirt or khaki pants for a casual wedding. And, for ladies, you can always opt for a dress with a nice neckline and simple accessories. The season and location of the wedding are great indicators of what to wear.
Given the warmer temperatures that often accompany summer weddings, look for breathable fabrics like chiffon, cotton, linen and rayon to stay cool. Consider opting for a lightweight sundress or midi dress with strappy heels or sandals, or a button-down shirt or short sleeve polo tucked into chinos or dress pants with loafers. If you’re outside, opt for a chunky heel for walking purposes and a strappy top if it’ll be hot. If you wear a kitten heel or a stiletto, you might risk sinking into the ground. If indoors, you can never go wrong with a pump heel. Do some research into the venue before the wedding date so you know what to expect.
While it’s probably obvious to most guests, it’s important not to wear any shade of white to a wedding unless it’s specifically stated in the invitation.
