Finding the perfect wedding guest outfit for summer 2022
There is something truly special about a wedding – the chance to celebrate with loved ones, catch up with family and friends, enjoy a good party and get dressed up!
If you have a wedding – or three – on the cards this summer get up to date with the latest fashions to feel fabulous on the big day.
Of course at a wedding there are rules that should be followed – the most important being not upstaging the bride. So while looking fabulous, don’t go over the top – and stick to the rule of avoiding white.
Wedding guest outfits for women 2022
Many weddings see formal dress worn, whether it is stipulated in the invitation or not, how you interpret this is up to you. But dress to impress and you shouldn’t go wrong.
Cut-out dresses
Weddings are family affairs and displaying too much flesh is generally considered a no-no. Subtle cut-outs will allow you to channel this season’s trend and flaunt your assets without going too far.
Slip dresses
The dress of the season, a slip dress is truly versatile. A simple, well-cut slip dress can look amazing on its own or can be dressed up (or down) with accessories. For chilly summer nights, slip dresses even look great teamed with a smart blazer. Hands down this is a great wedding choice.
Two-piece
Many wedding guests like to adopt a formal, structured look and two-piece sets are ideal for this. A dress and jacket combination is perfect for the mother of the bride, while matching tops and skirts are a fun formal look. Trouser suits are very much on trend this year and present wedding guests with a great option to strike a different look, whether trim and tailored or oversized.
Florals
What says summer wedding better than a beautiful floral dress? Thankfully florals are everywhere this year so finding a flattering floral design should be simple. Bold, graphic florals or ditzy designs all tick the box when it comes to this fashion trend.
Midi dress
A midi dress is perhaps the perfect length for a wedding. Coming in all shapes, sizes and fabrics, the cut is dressy enough, shows the right amount of reserve and gives you lots of options in look and style. Straps, full sleeves, lace, or a floaty whimsical number, with a midi dress – the choice is yours.
Wedding guest outfits for men 2022
Well, really for gents, a wedding means a suit but if yours has been lurking in the back of your wardrobe for years you might want to consider an update. A well-fitting suit will automatically make you look smarter and feel more comfortable than one with loose trousers or that has become too tight.
It is just as important not to take the spotlight away from the groom, so bear that in mind when choosing your outfit. Buying a good suit is an investment but it is one that should last and see you through a variety of formal occasions.
Dress for the occasion
With weddings make sure that you adhere to the dress code – if it is black tie, this is part of a general theme so do the happy couple the honour of fulfilling their wishes and follow suit with a tuxedo.
Most weddings are either formal or casual, although casual still means a shirt and trousers at the very least!
Stick to darker colours such as navy, black and grey where dress is formal, although in summer it is ok to choose a lighter suit if the dress code allows. Dress things up by opting for a three-piece suit, adding a flourish with a pocket tie or a colourful (but tasteful!) tie.
And don’t forget a stylish pair of Oxford shoes to complete the look.
