Weddings and other ceremonies are excellent occasions to wear a chic, elegant outfit. They also allow you to show off your best side. Long dress, midi dress, jumpsuit or pants, boots or pumps... Faced with so many options, it's sometimes difficult to choose the ideal outfit. So, to help you make the right choice, our fashion experts offer some valuable advice.
Wedding: what outfit to wear to enhance your body type?
When you're invited to a wedding, the first thing you look for is an outfit that will enhance your figure.
-
Are you slim and tall? In this case, you can have it all. A long, flowing dress for a romantic style, a pantsuit for a sophisticated look, or a short, sparkling skirt to show off your long legs... The possibilities are endless.
-
Are you small and slender? So opt for short dresses and skirts that slim the figure. Choose fitted tops to emphasize the waist. What's more, a pair of heels will make your legs look even longer.
-
Are you a plump person? In this case, avoid dresses that are too tight. Instead, opt for wallets, trapezes or empires, which will conceal curves while enhancing your shape. Finally, if you're tall, dare to wear a long dress with heels to slim your silhouette.
Invited to a wedding? Respect the seasons!
Most weddings take place in summer. However, these happy events can take place at any time of year. So it's essential to adapt your outfit to the season.
-
In summer, For a bohemian chic look, try a floral-print dress. Choose pastel colors, perhaps accented with pearls, embroidery or rhinestones. That way, you'll stay in the romantic spirit of the wedding. For fabric, opt for flowing materials like satin, lace or organza.
-
In winter, It's all about looking stylish while staying warm. We therefore opt for noble, soft materials velvet, silk, cashmere or fur. For colors, opt for deep hues such as burgundy, navy or plum. On the other hand, if you prefer sobriety, turn to gray or beige.
-
All year round, Accessories (jewelry, belts, handbags...) add the finishing touch to your outfit. They enhance your style and reflect your personality.
Conform to the wedding theme
To create harmony and coherence, some brides and grooms impose a dress code. So, A wreath of flowers and a long chiffon dress are ideal for a bohemian wedding. For a country union, a light floral outfit is ideal. And for an 80s wedding, a Charleston dress will do the trick.
Even in the absence of a dress code, it's important to adapt your outfit to the venue. For example, A reception in a grand Parisian hotel will demand more elegance than a seaside or chalet wedding.
For or against white at a wedding?
In theory, white is reserved for the bride. However, You can wear a short white dress in summer, as long as you accessorize it. Colorful, oversized jewelry will keep it from looking too immaculate. By the way, If you are close to the bride, ask her directly if she accepts this color. As long as you avoid a 100 % white outfit, there's usually no problem.
